Benefit |
Automatic calibration of Industrial Scientific MX6 iBrid™ multi-gas, MX4 iQuad™ multi-gas, iTX multi-gas, GasBadge® Pro and GasBadge® Plus |
Reduces costs associated with performing regular manual calibration of gas monitoring instruments. Ensures calibration is performed properly and at regular intervals. |
|
|
Automatic functional “bump” test at user defined intervals |
Ensures that instruments are tested and working properly before use. |
|
|
Hardwired or wireless Ethernet communication interface to up to 100 Instrument Docking Stations (IDSs) |
Provides high-speed communication interface to all DS2 Instrument Docking Stations™. Wireless communication allows access to IDSs in locations where hardwired network connection is not accessible. |
|
|
Simultaneous communication interface to all individually docked instruments |
Reduces time required to calibrate and test multiple instruments by interfacing multiple units at one time. In non-clustered installations, the DS2 Docking StationTM can have up to 100 instruments calibrating and/or function testing concurrently. |
|
|
MS SQL database for automatic storage of all calibration records |
Allows for automatic mass storage of all instrument calibration and test records, keeping them available in compliance with regulations for documentation. Can now support up to 2GB of historical information with in box MSDE Support. With upgraded SQL Server Option you are limited only by available disk space. |
|
|
Graphic Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on Instrument Docking Station |
Communicates status of operations on docked instrument directly to user, eliminating need for computer interface. |
|
|
3-Button membrane keypad |
Allows end-user to initiate Docking functions such as calibration, bump test and data download at the touch of a button. |
|
|
Inputs to accept up to 14 different cylinders of certified calibration gas |
Provides gas inputs to allow multiple instrument configurations to be managed by one system. |
|
|
Two-way communication between target instruments and DS2 Docking Station |
Allows parameters such as alarm and calibration gas settings to be uploaded to instrument, eliminating manual instrument configuration changes. |
|
|
Graphical analysis of calibration history and sensor performance |
Reduces instrument downtime by providing easy visual means for predicting sensor failures before they occur. |
|
|
Automatic generation of calibration and test reports |
Provides hard copy test and calibration documentation for attachment to confined space permits and instrument survey records. |
|
|
Automatic downloading and storage of all stored instrument survey data at user prescribed intervals |
Reduces time and costs associated with manual downloading of instrument data. Ensures that data is documented and maintained in proper fashion. |
|
|
LAN compatible database software |
Allows multiple IDSs to interface with network database for centralized storage of all calibration, test and data records. |
|
|
Optional pressure transducer input for all gas cylinders |
Creates method for system to manage all calibration gases and prompts users when cylinders should be replaced or reordered. |
|
|
Built-in battery charging outputs for all instruments |
Allows one piece of equipment to be used for all calibration and battery charging functions. |
|
|
Built-in system leak detection |
Automatically tests and verifies integrity of DS2 gas delivery system ensuring proper calibration. |
|
|
Multiple Language Support |
In addition to English, support for French, German and Spanish makes system adaptable to international operations. |
