Draeger
E-Cal System;
Instrument Management - Electronic Calibration -
Improve the accuracy and eliminate
human errors from your calibration and
documentation procedures. The computer
control through the CC-Vision® software
manages all aspects of calibration
and documentation. This means that the
calibration is consistently done to
Draeger’s factory specified procedures
and you are assured that all sensors and
the instrument are functioning within
specifications. You are assured that documentation
is done correctly every time
and that there are no recording errors.
The CC-Vision® software is also able to
make adjustments to the operating
parameters of your instruments. You can
change alarm levels, calibration intervals,
data logging parameters, and all other
user-configured functions of your instruments
with the click of a button.
Easy Calibration
Simply place your instruments in the calibration modules and click the “Go” button on
the screen. The E-Cal system opens the gas cylinders, delivers the gas to the instruments,
reads the concentration, makes the appropriate adjustments, records the calibration
results, and exhausts the gas from the station. Whether you are calibrating or
bump testing 1 or 10 instruments in the E-Cal station, it is always that easy.
The functions performed by the “Go” button are configurable. Many parameters can be
adjusted your individual needs. You tell the E-Cal system whether to download recorded
information, the acceptable limits on a bump test, whether to calibrate if a bump test fails,
and other parameters. Once you set the parameters to your requirements, all the actions
are completed at the click of a button.
Save Time, Money and Supplies;
Efficient Calibration
One of the outstanding features of the
E-Cal system is that it performs calibration
on up to 10 instruments at a time!
Full calibration (zero and span) of 10
MiniWarn Monitors with 4 sensors each
(40 sensors in total) takes approximately
15 minutes to complete. That time also
includes complete documentation and filing
of the entire procedure. There are no
time-consuming set-up routines before
each calibration. Just simply drop the
monitors in the calibration module and
press the “Go” button. You don’t even
need to turn the calibration gas cylinders
on and off with our demand flow regulators.
A fleet of 40 instruments could be
completely serviced in less than one hour!
Economical Calibration
Save time, calibration supplies, and money
with the E-Cal system. Even though the
“one-button calibration” feature found on
most gas detection instruments today
speeds up the calibration process, the ECal
system can do it quicker. When combined
with the automatic documentation, it
saves you even more time.
The faster simultaneous calibration procedure
means that you will be using less calibration
gas. The demand style regulator
used with the E-Cal system means that the
cylinder is only activated when the gas is
needed, so you only use the gas when it is
necessary. This saves you the cost on your
calibration supplies.
E-Cal is a self-exhausting system. Instead
of venting the used calibration gas to the
ambient atmosphere, it is pumped out of
the system. This means that you are not
required to operate the station underneath
a fume hood. Existing fume hoods can be
used for other functions, and facilities currently
without a fume hood do not need to
add this investment when using the E-Cal
system. A dedicated PC is not required.
The E-Cal system could be used in conjunction
with your existing computers (with
sufficient memory and speed) so additional
or unforeseen hardware expenses are
not involved.
Depending on the number of instruments
you use, the E-Cal system will pay for itself
in only a few months. When you combine
the E-Cal system with the Draeger-
Sensor® XS (Xtra Stability) used in the
Pac III, MiniWarn and Multiwarn II Monitors,
Draeger delivers the lowest cost of ownership
for gas detection instrumentation.
Effortless
Documentation
Have a record of every calibration,
bump test, and data logging session,
complete with dates, times, serial
numbers and more for every instrument
in your workplace automatically
recorded. The CC-Vision® software
that controls the E-Cal system performs
all of these functions as well. It
also contains a complete database
and integrated search tool that makes
retrieval and report generation simple.
Search your database by instrument,
serial number, sensor used, instrument
ID, required calibration date or
other parameters. Search with multiple
parameters for an even more exact
detail.
With only a few clicks of the mouse,
you can zero in on a specific instrument,
sensor, or time frame. Eliminate
cumbersome logbooks and other
paperwork from your service area and
obtain the exact record(s) that you
want in seconds. Space is provided in
the calibration logs so you can enter
additional notes on the instruments if
you wish. Have the complete service
history of your instruments at your fingertips
so you can compute your cost
of ownership and service costs for
budgetary purposes.
The E-Cal system is ideal for service
areas that are governed by ISO
(International Standards Organization)
or other management systems that
require documentation of calibration.
The automatic documentation also
covers you for regulatory compliance
and liability protection purposes.
Computer Requirements
Computer System: IBM Compatible PC
Processor: Pentium I or faster
Available RAM: Minimum 16 MBytes
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows NT, Window 2000, Windows XP
Connections: Two available serial ports, 1 available USB port
with appropriate adapters, or combination
Expandable
Calibration System
The modular construction of the E-Cal
station makes it flexible to meet your
specific needs. Once you have the
E-Cal system, you can add more
instrument modules as your pool of
gas detection instruments grows or
changes. Pac III, MiniWarn and
Multiwarn II Modules can be mixed
within a single system and up to 10
instrument modules can be linked to a
single Master Station. The Master
Station is capable of accepting up to 6
or 12 different gas cylinders, so additional
calibration gases or concentrations
can be added when needed.
Users with smaller quantities of instruments
can start out with as little as a
single E-Cal module. Each calibration
module is intelligent and a single module
can operate independently of the
Master Station. This gives you many of
the benefits of a larger E-Cal system,
including automatic documentation,
with a lower investment.
