Draeger X-dock is a new test and calibration system for portable gas detection instruments. Thanks to the automatic identification of the sensor configuration the station selects the corresponding gases for testing, evaluates the test results and approves or blocks the device. Even the alarm elements (Vibration/LED/horn) and also the response time of the sensors are checked. The unit can be operated conveniently via touch screen. The test time and the gas consumption is reduced significantly, pumps for gas transport have become obsolete. Each station documents digitally, but results can be printed as well. Also connecting X-dock stations via a local network is possible. Thereby, a database stores all data and with a comfortable PC software it is extremely easy to evaluate all necessary data - including reports and graphs.
