INTELLIDOX DOCKING MODULE

Glossary

The following term and abbreviations are used in this document.
A
AC
Alternating current. An electric current that is
usually accessed by plugging a power cord into
a wall outlet.
B
Bump test
A compliance test that confirms the detector's
ability to respond to target gases by exposing
the detector to a known gas concentration.
Other procedures that are specified to occur
automatically when the detector is inserted into
a docking module may be performed in
conjunction with the bump test.
C
Calibration
A two-step compliance test that determines the
measurement scale for the detector's response
to gas. In the first step, a baseline reading is
taken in a clean, uncontaminated environment.
In the second step, the sensors are exposed to
known concentrations of gas. The detector uses
the baseline and known gas concentrations to
determine the measurement scale.
CD
Compact disc. A computer-readable disc.
Compliance test
A compliance test is a procedure designed to
confirm that a product or process meets a
defined set of standards.
D
Datalog
A datalog is a file that contains detailed, date-
stamped records related to detector operations
and configuration settings. The datalog is
continuously updated. Records that span the
operating life of the detector are retained. For
more information, refer to the appropriate
detector operator manual.
DC
Direct current. DC is an electric current that is
provided by power sources such as batteries
and solar cells.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is
a network protocol for assigning an unused IP
address to a device that connects to a network.

USER MANUAL || GLOSSARY
DIN rail
A DIN rail is a metal strip that is used to mount
industrial equipment and devices.
Dynamic IP address
A temporary IP address that is automatically
assigned to a device when it connects to a
network, and then automatically released when
it disconnects.
E
Event log
An event log is a file that contains detailed,
time-stamped records data related to gas
events, compliance tests, and auto zero
operations. The event log is updated when an
event occurs. A specified number records for
the most recent events is retained. For more
information, refer to the appropriate detector
operator manual.
F
FastBump
FastBump is an accelerated compliance test
that confirms a detector's ability to respond to
target gases by exposing the detector to a
known gas concentration. FastBump may only
be performed with a compatible detector via a
module that is configured for FastBump. When
a compatible detector is inserted into the
configured module, FastBump and event log
transfer start automatically once the detector is
recognized. Other procedures specified to occur
automatically on insertion are suppressed.
Firmware
Permanent software or coded instructions that
are programmed into read-only memory on a
device. Firmware provides the operating
instructions for a device, and may be updated
periodically to enhance device performance.
Safety Suite Device Configurator
A proprietary, Windows-based software
developed by Honeywell to configure and
manage docking modules, calibration, bump
tests, and datalogs. Safety Suite Device
Configurator is available for download from
www.honeywellanalytics.com
G
Group
A group of two (2) to five (5) connected
IntelliDoX modules. Modules that are connected
share power, network and gas connections.
