Gas Detection Test/Calibration/Data-Logging Docking System Launched

Honeywell (UK) have announced the launch of the Honeywell MicroDock II—a test/calibration docking system compatible with the company`s expanded X Series, which includes two new portable gas detectors, the X5 (five-gas detector) and the XD (single-gas detector). The MicroDock II offers protection for an entire crew, with user-friendly
features including easy expansion (up to ten MicroDock modules can be interlinked), "one touch" calibration/bump testing/data transfer, simplified record keeping and battery charging of up to six X5 detectors (X5 model only).
"The MicroDock II packs advanced technology into a compact, lightweight design that’s remarkably user friendly, flexible and expandable to serve crews in a wide range of industrial settings where toxic and combustible gases pose a risk," said Elisabeth Wasserle, Strategic Marketing Manager Portables (EMEAI). "With its low maintenance, one
touch operation and simplified record-keeping, the MicroDock II minimises the cost of ownership for those seeking an all-in-one calibration, testing and data management system for portable gas detection equipment."
The MicroDock II is entirely self contained and light weight, and can operate without a computer. The included Fleet Manager II software for PCs consolidates MicroDock II data information into a central database, taking the work out of data analysis and management. This software tool enables users to create reports automatically and manage detector configurations. Instrument records are stored for easy retrieval in the MicroDock II as well as each individual gas detector. The MicroDock II connects to a PC using a standard USB connection. The unit operates via 6V wall adapter or set of four C-cell batteries. An additional wall adaptor is needed for charging detectors. Standard features include robust, built-in pump with up to 5-gas inlets, multi-language support, and black, impact resistant polycarbonate housing. The Honeywell Analytics X series also includes the Impulse XP (single-gas) and Impulse X4 (4-gas) portable gas detectors. All X series units include a standard two-year factory warranty.
