MicroDock II Installation a Warning The atmosphere must be free of background gas. Do not use the base station in a hazardous area. The disconnect device must be installed in close proximity to the base station and must be marked as a disconnecting method for the base station. All required National Electrical Codes (NEC) and safety standards must be followed. Battery Installation Note The base station can operate from either an electrical power source or batteries.
MicroDock II Quick Reference Guide Inserting the Detector a Caution Infrared or intense ambient light (sun or halogen) may interfere with the base station/detector communication. To insert a detector into a docking module, complete the following: 1. Activate the detector and wait until it is in normal operation. 2. Ensure the alligator clip is closed and the ring is resting flat on the detector. 3. Press the two release tabs on the docking module and open the lid. • 4.
MicroDock II Using the Base Station • When the detector has been inserted correctly, the RUN LEDs light yellow, Unit Inserted displays on the base station LCD, and MicroDock displays on the detector LCD. The base station LCD displays the docking module number, and the type and serial number of the detector. GasAlertMicroClip Important: If the GasAlertMicroClip is fitted with a calibration cap or an auxiliary filter, it must be removed prior to inserting it into the docking module.
MicroDock II Quick Reference Guide The base station pushbuttons are not labelled. The base station is operated by pressing the C pushbutton that is located directly below the option that displays on the LCD. Activating the Station 1. To activate the station, press and hold C (the leftmost button) until the following screen displays. The normal operation screen then displays. Confirm Inlet Setup For initial station activation, ensure the inlets are installed correctly.
MicroDock II Bump Test 5. Press C exit to return to normal operation. The LCD displays the results of the bump test. For more information on setting up inlets, gas types, and concentration levels, refer to Inlet Setup in the MicroDock II Base Station User Manual. Bump Test A bump test is performed to confirm that the detector is responding to gas, and that the audio and visual alarms are operational. a Caution Ensure the detector is not in a low battery state prior to performing a bump test.
MicroDock II Quick Reference Guide If any test fails, refer to Troubleshooting in the MicroDock II Base Station User Manual. A calibration adjusts the sensor sensitivity to ensure an accurate response to gas. To calibrate a detector, complete the following: 1. From the docking module of the applicable detector, press C CALIBRATION. 4. The detector deactivates.
MicroDock II Automatic Datalog Download (GasAlertMicroClip and GasAlertMax XT docking module only) Successful Data Transfer: The PASS LED lights green on the docking module and Pass displays on the base station LCD. From the LCD, press C Pass to return to normal operation. Unsuccessful Data Transfer: The FAIL LED lights red on the docking module. Attempt to transfer the data again. If the second data transfer is unsuccessful, ensure the detector is activated.
MicroDock II Quick Reference Guide • GasAlertMicroClip • GasAlertMax XT The detector can be configured prior to performing a bump test or calibration to • change user options, • sensor options, and • program options. The detector can also be configured to disallow bump tests or calibrations unless performed with the MicroDock II. For more information, refer to Configuring Detectors in the Fleet Manager II Technical Reference Guide.
MicroDock II Maintenance 4. Allow the battery to obtain a full charge (2 to 4 hours, depending upon how many docking modules are connected to this station). If a docking module is in queue waiting to charge, the CHARGE LED flashes red (all charging modules). When the docking module begins charging, the CHARGE LED stops flashing and lights solid red. The CHARGE LED lights green when the charging process is complete. If there are other docking modules in queue, waiting to charge, they will begin charging.
