Frequently Asked Questions

COSTS Why do I save costs when using Dräger X-dock?

The daily test is important – but it costs time and money. Especially the as

consumption plays an important part. The often used flow of 500ml/min and

test periods of e. . 60 seconds result in a hi h as consumption. For instance,

1000 tests carried out usin these parameters would result in a consumption of

500 liters of as!

The Drä er X-dock has ot typical openin times for the as supply valves with

a fast as application test of 10 seconds or even less for ases such as CH4, O2,

CO and H2S. In addition, it uses a flow of 300ml/min. With these parameters

a consumption of 50 liters with 1000 tests is achieved which means savin 90%

of as compared to the volumes mentioned above.

X-dock does not waste as: When the value is reached the valves are closed

immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

SOFTWARE What are the benefits of using a central database?

The Drä er X-dock saves all data locally. But when usin a central database

all pieces of information can be viewed directly without havin to collect

data laboriously. The data can be saved easily and processed for analysis.

The functionalities of the Drä er X-dock Mana er support you in this.

The Standard version offers a user administration the so-called Cockpit

(overview of the important parameters of the as detection instrument ran e),

the administration of the as detection instruments and the stations.

The Professional Version additionally offers an issue and return function for the

as detection instruments for the users and the report assistant which prepares

different overviews and reports also periodically and sends them e. . by e-mail.

What is the difference between the X-dock Manager Standard and the Professional Version?

The database and the database mana ement are free of char e – even if you

use it to link different X-dock stations.

The “Client Software”, the Drä er X-dock mana er is liable to cost. A license must

be purchased once, however, a 30-days test license is available free of char e.

The X-dock Mana er processes the data of the system, prepares reports and

supports you in keepin an eye on everythin .

Do I have to pay for the PC Software?

Frequently Asked Questions

SOFTWARE What do I have to consider when installing the PC Software?

With the simplest installation variant there is not much to consider: You only have

to enter the IP of the computer/server you use and assi n an IP to the system.

It is important to ensure that no firewall blocks the data communication.

For further information please contact your Drä er representative.

In the extended version you can also chan e the ports used and you may also

use your existin database later, if applicable.

One possibility is to use an USB stick. When lo ed in, all available certificates

and datalo er can be copied onto the stick via the menu.

How can I access the data of the station, if I do not use an X-dock Manager?

HOME

 

Yes. As of now apart from Ecal Drae erware as well supports the X-dock. To do

so, the server part of the X-dock software must be installed and the Drae erware

confi ured accordin ly. As soon as this was done Drae erware automatically

receives the test results of the as detection instruments and the evaluations

can be done via the Drae erware as usual.

Does Draegerware also support X-dock?

This test method is used to confi ure an automatically executed test process, for

example, runnin a test every day at 7:30 in the mornin . This means supported

devices are char ed at ni ht for an early mornin automated start and test.

Which function does the scheduler offer?

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I view the read out dataloggers of the gas detection instruments?

You can open the datalo er with the CC Vision which is free of char e

and thus convert it into a text file. The more comfortable way would be to

use Gas Vision. Via the X-dock Mana er a direct link is already available

to open and view datalo ers with Gas Vision.

For the time bein CC Vision will remain the tool to confi ure the as detection

instruments. However, from now on CC Vision is available free of char e.

For the time bein Gas Vision will remain the tool to visualize the datalo ers

and to support you with the analysis.

For the time bein means that in the medium term both software are to be

transferred to the X-dock Mana er.

Do I still need CC Vision and Gas Vision?

CC-Vision may be used to set measured as, calibration as and bump test as

if the device supports this functionality. X-dock then searches for and loads the

respective as accordin ly. Conversions occur automatically if the measured as

does not match the calibration or bump test as. If possible, measured as is

recommended to use for all tasks.

How do I have to configure a device in order to have the relevant test gas assigned?

HOME

 

This hi hly depends on the confi uration and the number of tests run.

With 2 x 2 GB (redundant) internal memory a system which e. . carries out

40 tests per day and does not read out datalo ers or creates certificates,

can store local data for 10 years. If datalo ers are read out, more tests are

carried out or certificates created, this service life is certainly reduced.

 

Yes. The X-dock Mana er offers this option. However, under the settin s of the

X-dock you have to confi ure a SMTP server so that the e-mail can be sent via

this server.

SOFTWARE Can I send the reports via e-mail as well?

There are two ways to do this.

1) In the Device tab you can chan e the sort order. In this case all you need to

do is to sort by “Next Bump Test Date” or “Next Calibration Date”. Overdue

devices will then appear at the top of the list.

2) In the Professional Version there are reports in the Report tab entitled

“Overdue Gassin Tests” and “Overdue Adjustments” respectively. The

correspondin report can then be created periodically, but also as a one-off.

This will show all overdue devices.

I can see in the Cockpit that tests and ad ustments are overdue. How can I find out which

devices are affected?

Frequently Asked Questions

MISCELLANEOUS Can I use modules with different firmware at one station?

X-dock requires modules and masters with the same firmware. It is not possible

to use modules and masters within a station that do not use the same firmware;

this results in an error messa e. In this case, please perform a simple USB

update. Modules that have not been reco nised prior are now updated to the

same firmware version.

However, it is possible to combine different firmware versions of different

stations in a network. Nevertheless, this is not recommended and the latest

supported firmware should be used on all stations.

HOME

 

Which type of printers is supported by the X-dock station?

The X-dock Mana er certainly supports all printers that are tri ered via the

Windows operatin system. If you want to print directly with the Drä er X-dock

station please ensure that the printer connected via an USB stick is “postscript

compliant”. Please contact your Drä er representative for a complete list of

supported printers.

The quick bump test checks exceedin of the first alarm level. As soon as this

limit was exceeded the test is re arded as passed. In many cases this test is

sufficient.

The extended bump test oes one step further – it checks the accuracy of the

sensors every time. This means it is checked whether the value appears in

a window around the concentration of the test as.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

An extended bump test compares the actual concentration of the test as cylinder

is compared with the concentration indicated by the device. The concentration

must be within a tolerance band after a certain stabilization phase. The tolerances

may be set for each device with CC-Vision. However, it is recommended to use the

values tested and approved by Drä er. Since this test checks the deviation, it is not

necessary for values to exceed or drop below the pre-alarm threshold. The test is

therefore more accurate and more flexible, but it is also slower and consumes

a little more as.

What exactly is tested during the extended bump test and must the pre-alarm threshold

also be exceeded here?

Drä er X-dock does this for you. Tolerances should be defined sensor-specific,

since not every as can be filled into test as cylinders with the same tolerance

(for instance, H2S, HCN or THT often have a tolerance of 10%, but methane or

carbon monoxide only have a tolerance of 2%).

The sensor accuracies differ as well. Therefore each device has a sensor-specific

tolerance – and makes your work easier. However, if you still want to set your

own tolerance you are able to override the iven tolerance via the CC-Vision

Software.

Am I able to set tolerances for the test?

MISCELLANEOUS What exactly is tested during the quick bump test and can every concentration be used?

The quick bump test checks whether values exceed or fall below the pre-alarm

threshold. Drä er demands increased reliability and therefore does not permit

just any concentration. Therefore, parameters are stored in the device for each

as type allowed as minimum and maximum concentration. Furthermore, a time

is defined for every as, indicatin how lon a value must have exceeded the

pre-alarm threshold in order to ensure reliability with all ases. This means the

maximum allowable concentration is dependent on the selected pre-alarm and

the factor that is stored in the device as the maximum permissible concentration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a charging option available for the gas detection instruments?

Yes. Gas detection instruments usin rechar eable batteries can be char ed,

if the Plus variant of the module was purchased. All Plus variants can char e

and apply as!

HOME

 

It is recommended to connect mixed ases, includin EX ases, to the first

valve, since the first valve is used first. This means the mixin adjustments are

carried out first, which usually already processes the majority of the sensors. In

addition, the process does not contain nitro en, which reduces recovery times

in CAT EX sensors, since these have now been adjusted respectively tested.

MISCELLANEOUS Is there a recommended gassing order?

Yes. Some ases such as THT or EO are not or hardly available in concentrations

above the first alarm limit.

Durin the extended as application test the Drä er X-dock checks for an accuracy

window. This can also be below the alarm limit – however, this is not arbitrary.

Drä er X-dock supports you here as well and rejects test as concentrations that

are unsuitable. Nevertheless, e. . a concentration of 10 ppm EO is accepted.

This also represents the first alarm limit and even if this is not exceeded while

the measured value is within the window, the test is re arded as passed.

Can I carry out a gas application test, if the applied calibration gas concentration

is below the alarm limit?
