WatchGas SST Dock Automated Test Station User Guide

WatchGas SST Dock Automated Test Station

Product Information

The SST Dock is an automated test station that allows Bump and Calibration testing. It is compatible with the full SST Range in one module. It has the capability to be connected via Wi-Fi, BLE, or Cellular and allows for desk, wall, and hard case mounted dependent on your application. With two inlets, it allows for calibration of the standard four gases plus another gas type. With built-in NFC, it is easier than ever to assign gas cylinders to the correct gas in ports.

Product Usage Instructions

CAUTIONS & BEST PRACTICES

• To ensure personal safety, read Safety Information and Warnings before using the SST Dock.
• Use the SST Dock only as specified by the manufacturer. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the SST Dock.
• Always ensure filters are clean and replaced on a regular basis.
• Follow all required National Electric Codes (NEC) and safety codes.
• Only use in a well-ventilated space, in normal atmosphere, with 20.9% Oxygen and a non-hazardous environment known to be free of toxic and/or flammable gas.
• Only use the supplied charging adapter, 12V 1.5A.

PREPARE FOR USE
The SST Dock must be attached to a venting system or be used in a well- ventilated area.

MOUNTING THE SST DOCK
The SST Dock can be mounted with the invertible mounting bracket at 2 different angles. Use the extended screws and plastic spacer included in the box.

Wall mounting:
The provided mounting brackets can be used to mount the SST Dock to a wall or table. Mounting screws and plug are not provided. WatchGas recommends checking the strength of the mounting area and selecting the proper mounting hardware before mounting the SST Dock. Mounting the SST Dock should be performed by a qualified installation contractor.

Installing the brackets:

1. Attach the mounting brackets to the SST Dock using the provided screws and plastic spacer.
2. Select the desired angle for mounting.
3. If wall mounting, secure the brackets to the wall using appropriate mounting hardware.
4. If table mounting, secure the brackets to the table using appropriate mounting hardware.

CAUTIONS & BEST PRACTICES

• If the SST Dock appears to be damaged or is not functioning properly, please contact WatchGas or a local WatchGas distributor.
• SST Dock uses Calibration Gas to carry out testing and calibrations so always ensure that these tests are done in a well-ventilated area.
• Always ensure filters are clean and replaced on a regular basis.
• Avoid the station encountering liquids. SST Dock cannot be mounted in an outdoor location that could be exposed to rain or wet conditions.
• The maximum exhaust tubing length is 10 meters (30 feet).
• Always use the SST Dock in conjunction with a demand flow regulator.
• SST Dock has no hazardous location approvals and can only be used in a safe and non-hazardous environment known to be free of toxic and/or flammable gas.
• Servicing can only be carried out by a WatchGas office or trained service technician.
• Ensure calibration gas cylinders are the correct concentration, within their expiration date and contain gas. Failure to do so may result in an incorrect calibration.
• The warranty does not cover electrical surges, physical and/or water damages.

WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: READ FIRST

• To ensure personal safety, read Safety Information and Warnings before using the SST Dock.
• Use the SST Dock only as specified by the manufacturer. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the SST Dock. The safety and security of any system or network incorporating the SST Dock and its accessory components is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
• Follow all required National Electric Codes (NEC) and safety codes.
• Do not attempt to adjust, disassemble, or service the equipment.
• Only use in a well-ventilated space, in normal atmosphere, with 20.9% Oxygen and a non-hazardous environment.
• Only use the supplied charging adapter, 12V 1.5A.
• Do not apply positive pressure to the gas inlets. Only use a demand flow regulator.

PREPARE FOR USE

• Use only Luer PG-63 for all gas inlets/outlets.

• Tubing diameter no less than 3mm (1/8 in) internal. The tubing should be suitable for the gas used, consult WatchGas for a proper Last-o-More tube or compatible tube.

• Only use Demand Flow Regulators from WatchGas compatible part list.
  NOTE: Only connect up to 10 meters (30 feet) of tubing on the fresh air inlet and outlet.

• Ventilation – the outlet should be routed to a ventilated area.

• Adjust the fresh air purge time accordingly.

• Ensure tubing and cables are properly installed.

• Use the shortest length of tubing possible.

• Ensure a fresh air inlet filter is installed.

• If potentially harmful gas is used for calibrations, users must read the MSDS of the gas connected. The SST Dock must be attached to a venting system or be used in a well-ventilated area.

MOUNTING THE SST DOCK

The SST Dock can be mounted with the invertible mounting bracket at 2 different angles. Use the extended screws and plastic spacer included in the box.

Wall mounting
The provided mounting brackets can be used to mount the SST Dock to a wall or table. Mounting screws and plug are not provided. WatchGas recommends checking the strength of the mounting area and selecting the proper mounting hardware before mounting the SST Dock. Mounting the SST Dock should be performed by a qualified installation contractor.

SWITCH ON THE SST DOCK

• If the SST Dock is fully discharged, please allow 5 min of charging prior to switching on the unit. The LED will show red switching to white prior to start-up.
• Connect the SST Dock to an electrical outlet (or surge protector) by means of the included power adapter. The Status light will then turn on. Use the ON / OFF key (fig 1. part 16 and part 2) to power on the touch screen.

ENTER SET UP

1. Use the Password “admin” to enter the setup menu
   IMPORTANT: If optional pressure sensors are utilized these shall be activated or the SST Dock will ignore the signal

2.  Add calibration gas bottle in the Gas bottle list either manually or utilizing Watch Tab enabled bottles. It is important to fill in all data as the Dock produces a full calibration certificate.

1. Assign the gas cylinder to the input port selected (the input will light up when the port is open during operation).
   NOTE: The SST Dock will not perform any bump or calibration if the gas does not match the detector target gas.

2. Status LED Green normal operation and on charge / yellow running on battery / red fault

3.   Server setup – linking to the WatchGas compliance software the server ID must be set up. This link will be provided upon purchase of the software

USE

If the touch screen is in sleep mode – double-tap the screen to wake up the unit. The screen will instruct the next step.

INSERTING THE DETECTOR

1. Step 1
   Power on the gas detector if required, if it is a 2- or 3-year SST1 then the device will already be activated. Turn on NFC.

2. Step 2
   Lift the lid on the SST Dock by using the two-finger guides and the red latch.

3. Step 3
   Insert the device by locating the alligator clip into the guide in the SST Dock.

4. Step 4
   Close the lid until you hear the click.

5. Step 5
   Select the function on the SST Dock display that you want to carry out: Bump Test, Calibra-tion, or Fresh Air calibration. The SST Dock will then carry out the selected test.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Detector fails bump, fresh air, or calibration:

1. If fresh air fails, verify the filter is not clogged and the air at the inlet is not contaminated.
2. Check that gas bottles are connected, sufficiently pressurized, and contain the right gas concentration. (information on the bottle)
3. Verify the station function with a known functional detector.

Detector fails alarm test:

1. Redo the test
2. Manually inspect the detector for LED, vibration, and audio alarms
