Setup and Connections

Connect the Purge Inlet Filter Assembly

Each IntelliDoX Enabler Kit includes one purge inlet filter assembly. The purge inlet is typically configured to use ambient air in a fresh air environment with a normal atmosphere of 20.9% O2, free of hazardous gas. Ensure the filter assembly is attached before using the IntelliDoX module. An extension tubing can be attached to the filter assembly to draw ambient air from an adjacent fresh air environment.

1. Ensure the filter assembly is free of obstructions and defects.
2. Connect the filter assembly to the purge inlet (Part 15).
3. If necessary, attach an extension tubing to the filter assembly to draw ambient air from an adjacent fresh air environment.

Connect the Exhaust Tubing

Each IntelliDoX Enabler Kit includes one exhaust tubing, 4.57 meters (15 feet) long.

1. Inspect the exhaust tubing to ensure it is free of obstructions and defects.
2. Connect the exhaust tubing to the exhaust outlet (Part 14).
3. Ensure the exhaust tubing is not connected to a negative pressure system or obstructed in any way.

Connect the Power

Each IntelliDoX Enabler Kit contains one power supply and AC power cord. Use only the provided power supply to connect the IntelliDoX Docking Module to an appropriate electrical power outlet. When power is connected, the IntelliDoX activates and performs a self-test.

1. Connect the AC power cord to the power supply.
2. Connect the power supply to the IntelliDoX power port (Part 13).
3. Plug the AC power cord into a suitable wall outlet.
4. When power is connected, the IntelliDoX LCD activates and a self-test is performed.

NOTICE: To prevent corruption or loss of data, software, or firmware, do not deactivate the equipment while performing datalog transfers, bump tests, calibrations, or other operations.

Charging a Detector

Use the IntelliDoX to charge detectors fitted with rechargeable batteries. For battery maintenance information, refer to the detector's manual.

1. Charge only in a normal environment (20.9% O2, free of hazardous gas). Do not operate the docking module in a hazardous area, as this could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
2. Deactivate the detector.
3. Insert the detector into the IntelliDoX module.
4. Battery charging begins immediately. Battery charging is disabled during bump test and calibration procedures.

Once tests and other routines are completed, the detector can remain in the module for charging. If the detector is activated, the module will deactivate it after 10 minutes of inactivity. When charging is complete, remove the detector. Do not store the detector in the module.

Prepare for Bump Tests and Calibrations

The IntelliDoX module is factory-configured for portable gas detectors. Gas inlets are configured at the factory and cannot be altered. The IntelliDoX Enabler Kit includes quick connect fittings and calibration tubing cut to a minimum recommended length of 1 meter (39 inches). Use only tubing between 1 meter (39 inches) and 10 meters (33 feet) in length when connecting gas cylinders to an IntelliDoX module.

Connect Calibration Gas

1. Connect a demand flow regulator to the calibration gas cylinder.
2. Use the quick connect fittings and calibration gas tubing to connect the calibration gas cylinder to the gas inlet on the IntelliDoX module.

Bump Test Procedure

What is a Bump Test?

A bump test is a procedure that confirms a detector's ability to respond to target gases by exposing the detector to gas concentrations that exceed its alarm setpoints.

Automatic Bump Test

If 'AutoBump on Insertion' is set using PC configuration software, the bump test starts automatically when IntelliDoX recognizes the detector. If 'AutoCal on Overdue Sensors' is enabled and a calibration is also due, no bump test is performed; calibration starts automatically instead.

Performing a Bump Test

1. Insert a detector into the IntelliDoX module.
2. Use the navigation buttons (Part 4) to move to 'Bump test my detector' on the IntelliDoX user menu.
3. Press the select button to choose 'Bump Test'. The LCD screen background changes to yellow, and the bump test progress screen is displayed.
4. The bump test begins, showing progress screens during the test.
5. If 'AutoDownload Datalog' is set using PC configuration software, detector datalogs are automatically transferred to the IntelliDoX.

Bump Test Results

Bump Test Pass

When the bump test is successful, the LCD screen background changes to green, displaying 'Bump test passed'. Checkmarks (✔️) indicate successful responses for Alarm and Sensor. Press the return button to return to the IntelliDoX user menu.

Bump Test Fail

When the bump test fails, the LCD screen background changes to red, displaying 'Bump test failed'. Crosses (❌) indicate failed alarm response and/or sensor response test items. If 'AutoCal on Failed Bump' is set using PC configuration software, calibration automatically begins.

Calibration Procedure

What is Calibration?

Calibration is a two-step procedure that determines the measurement scale for the detector's response to gas. The first step involves taking a baseline reading in a clean, uncontaminated environment. The second step exposes the sensors to known concentrations of gas. The detector uses the baseline and known gas concentrations to determine the measurement scale.

Calibration Guidelines

1. Calibrate only in a normal environment (20.9% O2, free of hazardous gas). Do not operate the docking module in a hazardous area. Failure to adhere to this guideline can result in possible personal injury and/or property damage.
2. Use only premium grade calibration gases and cylinders approved by Honeywell and supplied by Honeywell or an authorized distributor. Calibration gases must meet the detector's accuracy requirements. Refer to the User Manual for more information.
3. Do not use a gas cylinder beyond its expiration date.
4. All calibration cylinders must be used with a demand flow regulator and meet these maximum inlet pressure specifications: Disposable cylinders: 0-300 psig / 0-20.7 bar; Refillable cylinders: 0-3000 psig / 0-207 bar.
5. Do not calibrate the detector during or immediately after charging.
6. Calibrate the sensor if ambient gas readings vary during startup.
7. Calibrate a new sensor before use. Allow the sensor to stabilize before starting calibration: wait 60 seconds for a used sensor, and 5 minutes for a new sensor.
8. When calibrating the same gas detector multiple times, wait 10 minutes between calibrations to allow the sensor to stabilize.
9. If a certified calibration is required, contact Honeywell or an authorized distributor.

Performing a Calibration

If 'AutoCal on Overdue Sensors' is set using PC configuration software and sensors are overdue, calibration starts automatically once IntelliDoX recognizes the detector.

1. Insert a detector into the IntelliDoX module.
2. Use the navigation buttons (Part 4) to move to 'Calibrate my detector' on the IntelliDoX user menu.
3. Press the select button to choose 'Calibrate my detector'. The LCD screen background changes to yellow, and the calibration progress screen is displayed.
4. Calibration begins, showing progress screens during the test.
5. If 'AutoDownload Datalog' is set using PC configuration software, detector datalogs are automatically transferred to the IntelliDoX.

Calibration Results

Calibration Pass

When calibration is successful, the LCD screen background changes to green, displaying 'Calibration passed'. Checkmarks (✔️) indicate successful responses for Alarm and Sensor. Press the return button to return to the IntelliDoX user menu.

Calibration Fail

When calibration fails, the LCD screen background changes to red, displaying 'Calibration failed'. Crosses (❌) indicate failed alarm response and/or sensor response test items.
