Calibration and Bump Testing - X-dock 6300 | Draeger

The X-dock 6300 is a calibration and bump testing station designed for Draeger gas detectors. It is used primarily in industrial settings to ensure that portable gas detectors are functioning correctly and accurately measuring the presence of gases. The X-dock 6300 is a part of Draeger’s comprehensive solution for safety equipment, designed to optimize the safety of workers who may be exposed to hazardous gases in confined spaces or other environments.

Key Features and Functions:

1. Calibration:

   • The X-dock 6300 ensures that gas detectors are calibrated to provide accurate readings.

   • Calibration is the process of adjusting the gas sensors within the detectors to ensure they respond correctly to known concentrations of gases.

   • Calibration is important for ensuring compliance with workplace safety regulations and maintaining the reliability of the gas detection equipment.

2. Bump Testing:

   • A bump test is a quick functional test performed to ensure the gas detector is responding to gas as expected.

   • The X-dock 6300 can carry out bump tests using a known gas mixture to check if the detector's sensors trigger the alarms correctly.

   • Bump testing helps confirm the device is operating properly before use but doesn't require a full calibration.

3. Automated Process:

   • The X-dock 6300 automates the calibration and bump testing process, reducing human error and improving the efficiency of safety checks.

   • It can handle multiple detectors simultaneously, which helps in high-usage environments.

   • The system automatically records data and can provide reports, ensuring compliance with safety protocols.

4. Easy-to-Use Interface:

   • The system is designed with user-friendliness in mind, featuring an intuitive interface and simple setup for calibration and testing.

   • Most functions can be controlled via a touchscreen, and users are guided through the process.

5. Versatility:

   • The X-dock 6300 is compatible with a wide range of Draeger gas detectors, including the Draeger X-am series, which can detect gases such as oxygen (O₂), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and combustible gases.

   • It supports various gas sensor types and configurations, allowing for flexible usage across different industries.

6. Maintenance and Storage:

   • The station can store and maintain calibration records and test results, which are crucial for compliance with industry safety standards.

   • It can also be integrated with other Draeger products, like monitoring systems, to streamline data management and reporting.

7. Safety Compliance:

   • By ensuring gas detectors are always properly calibrated and functioning, the X-dock 6300 helps companies comply with health and safety regulations, such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) or European Union standards for gas detection.
