BW MicroDock II Automated Gas Detector Docking Station





Each base station can manage up to 10 different detectors in their own attached docked module, six of which can have charging built in. Supported products are:
- GasAlertMicroClip
- GasAlert Quattro
- GasAlertMax XT
- GasAlertMicro 5 (including PID and IR models)
- GasAlertClip Extreme (including 24 months and 36 months models)
- GasAlert Extreme
MicroDock saves valuable time and money by automating manual procedures. In addition, the MicroDock II ensures compliance - calibration and bump testing is done automatically with event logging and alarm set point verfication.
The MicroDock automates a number of important functions:
- Automatic bump testing of detectors
- Automatic calibration of detectors
- Automated management of event logs, calibration logs, etc
- Automated verification of alarm set points
MicroDock II includes reporting software so that accurate records can be kept for each detector. Multiple stations can be networked together with a LAN/USB bridge.
NOTE: MicroDock II is a highly configurable product. Please call for pricing and part numbers. Calibration gas is sold separately. Each calibration gas requires its own gas flow regulator.
The Bad:
The Bottom Line:
Full Review
- Fully automatic “hands-free” calibration & functional bump test
- Automatically verifies performance of audible and visual alarms
- Stores and updates calibration records in the MicroDock II, as well as in the GasAlertMicro 5, GasAlertMicro 5 PID, GasAlertMicro, GasAlertMicroClip and GasAlert Extreme detectors
- No computer required
- Entirely self-contained
- Fully portable
- Lightweight and mobile
- Operates via line power or a set of four C-cell batteries
- Add additional self-contained docking modules to system via simple, plug-in connections-no external pressure transducers or gas lines necessary
- Simplify record keeping
- Verify proper performance
- Reduce maintenance costs
- Multiple MicroDock II systems can be connected via a LAN
- Multi-language support in English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese
