MicroDock II
Introduction
a Warning
To ensure personal safety, read Safety Information - Read
First before using the MicroDock II base station.
The MicroDock II Automatic Test and Calibration Station (“the
base station”) provides automated calibration and bump testing
for the GasAlert Extreme, GasAlertClip Extreme, GasAlertMi-
cro, GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR, GasAlertMicroClip / GasAlertMi-
croClip XT, GasAlertMax XT / GasAlertMax XT II, and
GasAlertQuattro. The system is expandable to include up to six
docking modules (maximum six charging docking modules)

a Warning
Use the base station in a fresh air environment. Do not
use the base station in a hazardous area.
All required National Electrical Codes (NEC) and safety
standards must be followed.
Note
The base station can operate from either an electrical
power source or batteries. The batteries will provide
automatic backup power if the main power fails.
1. Connect the power cord to the POWER port on the
base station, and then plug the cord into an AC outlet.
To install the batteries, refer to Battery Installation.
2. Connect the charger cord to the CHARGER port on
the base station first, and then plug the cord into an
AC outlet.
3. Attach all gas connections. Inlet 1 (PURGE) is config-
ured for ambient air and inlets 2-5 are configured for
calibration/test gases. Refer to Confirm Inlet Setup.
4. A demand flow regulator must be used with all gas
cylinder connections.
5. Ensure the exhaust line is not connected to a nega-
tive pressure system.
For AC main operation, the method to disconnect power is
to unplug the power cord from the outlet. A locking device
may not be used on the power cord plug.
