WARNING: Failure to perform certain procedures or note certain conditions may impair the

performance of this product. For maximum safety and optimal performance, please read and

follow the procedures and conditions listed below.

•Use of this product in areas where it may be subject to large amounts of electromagnetic

interference may affect the reliable operation of this device and should be avoided.

•Sources of large amounts of interference could be and are not limited to:

oOperation near high radio frequency fields (near 2-way radio transmission

antennas where the RF fields may greatly exceed 10 V/M, etc.).

oAC Power Mains that may have excessive power surges / spikes /

transients (from large AC motors operating heavy loads which may induce

voltage sags and, etc.).

NOTE: This product has been tested to, and passes all EMC requirements to EN 61326:1998

Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use for Type 2 (Industrial)

Apparatus, as well as FCC Part 15, Class A emissions levels when installed to the requirements

outlined within this manual. Mandatory compliance to these standards help to ensure controlled,

reliable operation of this device when exposed to typical levels of electromagnetic interference

as well as ensuring that this device is not source of emissions that might interfere with other

equipment installed nearby.

NOTE: Per 30 CFR 75.320(b), the DSX docking station tests for oxygen deficiency of MSHA

approved oxygen detectors compatible with the DSX that can detect 19.5% oxygen with an

accuracy of ± 0.5%.

NOTE: Per 30 CFR 22.7(d)(2)(i), the acceptable limit during calibration and bump testing with

2.5% methane must be 10% for MSHA approved instruments using Industrial Scientific certified

calibration gas.

NOTE: The DSX has an internal pump that controls the flow of gas being delivered to the

system. As a result of the internal pump, a demand flow regulator must be used in conjunction

with this calibration and bump test station.

About This Manual

Chapter

1.1. Document Overview

This documentation is designed to assist with the start-up of the DSX-L Local Server Mode. For

day-to-day operation and detailed information about using the features of the docking station,

please see the manual included on the CD provided with the DSX-L.

This start-up guide contains the following main sections:

•Chapter 2: Introduction - Begin with this section to learn about the main components and

an overview of the functionality.

•Chapter 3: Getting Started - This section provides an introduction to the Docking Station

Server Admin Console (DSSAC), the web-based user interface through which

administrative tasks are performed by the safety team. It also provides minimum server

and browser requirements for proper installation and operation of the DSS and DSSAC

software. An overview of the Broadcaster is also provided, as well as how to enable and

disable this feature.

•Chapter 4: Configuring the Docking Station –This section explains how to setup the

docking station for operation. It includes explanations of status, properties, setup and

removal, , manifold instruction, gas cylinder configuration, and connections using iGas.

•Chapter 5: Basic Operation –This section explains the basic operation of the docking

station. It includes topics such as user interface menu options, LED and alarm signals,

forced bump tests, forced calibrations, downloading and clearing datalog data, IDS

diagnostics, and operating guidelines.

•Chapter 6: Event Scheduling –This section provides an overview of global and special

events, and explains how they are used in the docking station system.

For information about installing the DSX-L, please see Administrator’s Guide, DSX-L Local

Server Mode.

NOTE: Throughout this document, the term server –when used alone –refers to either a PC or

server running the DSS software.

Introduction

Chapter

2.1. Overview

DSX-L provides the capabilities for fleet management and the scheduling and automatic

performance of testing, calibration, and battery charging for the following Industrial Scientific

instruments:

•Tango™TX1 Single-Gas Monitor

•Ventis™ Pro4 Multi-Gas Monitor

•Ventis™ Pro5 Multi-Gas Monitor

•SafeCore™ Module

•Ventis™ MX4 Multi-Gas Monitor

•Ventis™ LS Multi-Gas Monitor

•MX6 iBrid™ Multi-Gas Monitor

•GasBadge® Pro

DSX-L and its software are installed to function as a system where data reside on a

company’s internal computer network (or PC). The remainder of this guide refers to this

type of installation.

2.2. Features

Features of the docking station system include the following.

•Ability to operate from a server or stand-alone PC.

•Ability to handle up to 100 Instrument Docking Stations (IDS) with one docking station.

•One fresh air input and two or five gas inputs.

•Built-in Smart charger on each IDS for rechargeable instruments.

•Simplified feedback on the IDS via 3 LEDs (red, yellow, and green), and an audible

alarm.

•A graphical user interface tool (DSSAC) that allows an administrator to view operations

on each IDS from a network computer.

•Ability to schedule calibrations, bump tests, diagnostic tests and datalog data downloads

globally for all IDSs, or on an instrument-specific basis.

•Multilingual user interface (English, French, Spanish, or German) on the IDS display as

well as in the DSSAC application.

•Storage of instrument data in a central database.

•Option to use the Industrial Scientific supplied run-time database or the customer’s own

existing MicrosoftSQL Server.

•Option to implement Industrial Scientific Corporation’s iNet solution, gas detection as a

service.

•Optional iGas configuration for automatic configuration of gas cylinders on an IDS.

2.3. Components of the Docking Station Network

The DSX-L network consists of at least three (3) components:

•a Docking Station Server (DSS)

•the Docking Station Server Admin Console (DSSAC) application

•multiple Instrument Docking Stations (IDSs).

Refer to Figure 2-1. An introduction to each of these components can be found in the next three

sections.

2.3.1. Docking Station Server (DSS) Overview

The Docking Station Server (DSS) is a computer (server of PC) that controls the entire docking

station network. The DSS sends information to—and retrieves information from—IDSs and the

instruments docked in them. IDS and instrument data, such as calibration and bump test results,

are stored in databases that are controlled by the DSS. Refer to Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1. Sample Docking Station Network

2.3.2. Docking Station Server Admin Console (DSSAC) Overview

The DSS is administered using the Docking Station Server Admin Console (DSSAC) web

application. DSSAC is used by the safety team to manage instrument data, view IDS status, and

manage DSS configurations.

Before using the DSSAC for the first time, read Chapter 3 Getting Started for an overview of the

application’s user interface. Chapter 4 contains information about setting up and using IDSs.

2.3.3. Instrument Docking Station (IDS) Overview

An Instrument Docking Station (IDS) is the device into which an instrument is placed for use in

the DSS. When docked, an instrument is ready for automatic calibrations, bump tests, diagnostic

tests, and datalog data downloads, all of which are controlled by the DSS. An IDS also serves as

a battery charger for instruments with rechargeable batteries.
