To darken or lighten the display on the
dock, move the slider as appropriate. The
dock will not show the new LCD setting
until the “Set Config” button is pressed.
Status After Test
Once the MultiPro IQ Express Dock
finishes processing an instrument, it can
be programmed to turn the instrument off,
or to leave it in the state that it was in
(either on or off) when it was placed in the
dock. The Status After Test control is
located beneath the LCD Contrast Control
near the center of the screen.
If “Status After Test” is set to Off, the
MultiPro will automatically be turned off by
the dock once the instrument has been
processed.
If “Status After Test” is set to “No
Change”, the instrument will return to the
state it was in when it was placed in the
dock.
Battery
The battery level shown on the dock tab is
for the internal battery in the MultiPro IQ
Express Dock. This battery serves to
keep the real time clock accurate while
the dock is unplugged and should not be a
concern to the user unless the battery
level drops below 2.50 Volts.
Calibration Interval
The Dock’s calibration interval settings are
controlled from the Dock Tab and are
located below the battery level and above
the LCD Display box. The dock’s
calibration interval is the maximum
number of days that the dock will allow to
pass between calibrations for any
instrument that is placed in the dock. If an
instrument is placed in the dock and the
interval has been exceeded, the dock will
automatically initiate a full span calibration
of the instrument regardless of the results
of the bump test or the instrument’s own
calibration status.
To use the setting, click on Enable Cal
Interval and set the interval to the number
of days between calibrations.
Note that
this setting may cause the instrument
to undergo a full calibration even when
the instrument itself is not due for
calibration.
Gas Configuration
The calibration gas configuration for the
dock is located on the right side of the
window. If the values are shown in red
text, they can be changed. If the values
are shown in black text and you wish to
change them, press “Change Config”.
Note: The gas values shown in the gas
configuration screen are the values that
will be used in calibrating the MultiPro
instruments that interface with the dock
regardless of the MultiPro’s own built-in
calibration gas settings.
To change the calibration gas value, use
the arrows to the right of the gas value
input box to increase or decrease the
value.
Calibration values
shown in the Gas Value column must
match those appearing on the
calibration gas cylinder(s) that will be
used to calibrate the detector. Non-
matching calibration gas and
calibration gas value settings will lead
to inaccurate and potentially
dangerous readings.
