The Dräger X-dock Station is a modular calibration and data management system.
X-dock can be used as an autonomous station for bump tests and calibration as well as a system
with networked stations, which documents (on a single server) and offers an extensive reporting by
PC software.
Technical details:
This document is the Service Manual for the X-dock family. Repair measures and the configuration
of the station are described in here. In addition to this and in case of discrepancy the Service
Information of the X-dock family issued in the DORIS and Lotus Notes when necessary prevail.
The Product Management Portable Gas Detection is responsible for the preparation.
With each system start a detailed self-test is run. This test contains the following test steps:
1. Module identification
2. SD cards identification
5. Testing the internal tightness (this test does not occur directly after the start-up, but before
the first test which will be performed following this. And subsequently again before the first
test after 24h, if not switched off)
6. Test pump
Notice:
For test step 5 a test gas cylinder must be connected to a gas valve and the gas
configuration set.
An error during the self-test will be directly shown. Also, the results of the self-test will be recorded
in the files custom.log and service.log, which are stored in the station. The file custom.log can be
read out by an export of the event logger.
The event logger can be read out via the menu and copied on an USB stick. Connect an USB stick,
log in and store via the data administration the event logger on the stick.
All files should be opened via the Windows standard program “Wordpad” as the program “Notepad”
shows the files incorrectly. Furthermore it is important that the station does not use the customers
date and time settings on this level, but the internal system time which is based on the UTC time
zone. This leads to a deferred time stamp of all events, e.g. for Germany -2 hours.
Below is an example of a customer event logger. The real point of time of the first recognizable
event was for Germany the valid GMT +1 or MEZ so 12:06:47 p.m.
Note
Log in as a service user as well to read out the service logger. Otherwise, only the
data of the customer event logger will be transferred.

The Info Screen is located in the instrument setting under the “System Configuration”. It contains
information about the versions, the installed APP version, the hardware version, the kernel version
as well as the firm MAC address and the allocated IP address.
To unlock the service menu it is necessary to log in as a service user. For this, do not select a user
in the login screen and enter the following password:

Now additionally, the item „Service“ is available on the system menu. Behind it there are two sub
menus:
Hardware Test
For each module and for the master the parameter will be displayed individually. The
valves as well as the pump can be switched manually for test purposes. Additionally, it is
possible to activate manually the charging function for the X-am+ modules here.
Notice
If the module flap is open, the valve will not switch on test gas although the valve
switches are activated. The firmware prohibits the exposure of test gas to an open
module.
Notice
Version 01.01.01 – 01.02.27: The file must be unzipped and copied on the stick
Version >SU2 (>=01.03.xx): The *.xup file must copied on the stick.
SU2 master (>01.04.xx) is necessary.
The test of all functions of the X-dock Station is ensured using the following scenarios. Within the
remedial measures it will be referred to one or more of the below described scenarios to be
performed according to the necessity.
Necessary tests
S1 S2 S3 S4
X-am 2000/5X00 with CH4, O2, H2S, CO sensors and FW 6.3 (X-am 5X00),
FW 6.0 (X-am 2000) or higher.
2.6.1 S1 Self-test
After the start of the initial test following the power-up, the X-dock dock will run and record a self-
test automatically. Additionally, this test will be repeated at least every 24 hours even when the
instrument is not switched-off (again before the start of the selected test).
Accordingly, for this scenario the gas supply must be connected, a system start and any test to be
performed. See also Chapter 2.1 and Chapter 5.1.
Additionally, for all X-am+ Modules the charging function must be tested. For this, start the
charging function via service menu manually and insert an X-am device. The flash of the charging
LED indicates the charging of the X-am instrument and shows its correct function.
Alarm test ON
Purge ON
With the extended bump test this test unit will be checked in the modules. If it passes, the test will
be successful. Simultaneously, the alarm elements can be tested exemplary.
Notice
This test only examines the first three layer of the OSI model. It is still possible that a
for example a firewall blocks the data movement on one port. In this case the station
won’t reach the data base, although the ping command has been performed
successfully.
If screws get lost during the mending (or generally not available any more), parts of the tubing must
be replaced or bits and pieces like case feet and the model numbering are missing there following
spare parts are available apart from the main components:
Note
Ensure that all test gas cylinders are closed and the hose connections are detached
as well as the X-dock is de-energized before starting the repairs.
Now, the modules can be separated or an additional module affixed. To connect two modules
always a pneumatic module connector is necessary for the tubing, which has to be attached (see
3.2.6).
New modules or the removal of modules will be identified automatically by the master and will be
operative after the start of the station. There is no additional configuration necessary.

For the reassembling, all three cradle types must be attached to the module housing firstly with the
head position below the retaining flap. Then carefully seat the lower part until the cradle sits flush
with the module housing. Then fix again the hex screw with a tightening torque of 35N/cm.
Note
The IR diode for the Pac cradle is located directly in the cradle. The X-am charging
cradle is as well connected by a cable with the PCB to control the charging contacts.
To exchange these two cradles disconnect the cable from the PCB and connect it to
the new one (see picture – Pac instrument cradle).
In case the instrument cradle was marked with a number label before, it has to be replaced and
affixed to the new cradle.

First, loosen the instrument cradle as described in 3.2.4 and remove it. Now, unfasten the bracket
from the module housing by pushing in the holders on both sides. The bracket can now be
exchanged.

Check whether the o-ring is in its place between the nozzle and the valve block before the new
valve nozzle is built in. Additionally, check whether the sealing surface is dust and dirt-free.
Assemble the new nozzle using an 8 mm jaw spanner or box wrench with a tightening torque of 35
N/cm, then assemble the side part again.
S1 S2 S3 S4

Note
Ensure that all test gas cylinders are closed and the hose connections are detached
as well as the X-dock is de-energized before starting the repairs.
Now, carefully separate the top housing with the bottom part from the rail and lift it upwards
completely from the lower housing. For a first overview the top housing can be put aside still wired.
After having opened the housing and loosened the left side part as well, all electrical and
pneumatic plug-in connections which are connected with the PCB can be loosened now.
Now, the single components can be removed and exchanged. See also the following chapters.

The 6gas version has got seven 2/2 way valves and the 3gas version four 2/2 way valve (green
marking). Both valve block versions are additionally equipped with a 3/2 way valve (blue marking).
Important is the type of valve to be exchanged, pay attention to exchange it with the corresponding
one.
The new way valve will be delivered with two spare screws and spare o-rings. Exchange the o-
rings and take care of the correct positioning of the o-rings. An indentation in the valve block
defines its seat. Ensure that the sealing surfaces are absolutely dust and dirt-free.

Once the new valve block is installed and the tubing according to the tubing layout 3.3.3 restored,
assemble the PCB again. Be aware that the thin tubes leading to the pressure sensor are placed
through the notch and are not seized. When connecting the PCB follow the screws’ order according
to 3.3.5.3.
Now, reconnect all control contacts (according to the assignment) and check again all plug
connections on the PCB for firm and correct seating before the housing is closed.

Equip the new PCB with the two SD cards. The slots are at the board’s bottom. Normally, the two
SD cards of the old PCB can be used again so that the station’s database is also available after the
PCB’s exchange in its previous state. The SD cards can be easily relocated.
Note
To use the old SD cards on the new PCB, ensure that they are located in the same
slots as on the old PCB!
Additionally, the SD cards can be formatted (FAT32) and programed with an update package. As a
result, an update is performed after starting the station and the SD cards are activated.
First, bolt the new PCB together with the housing’s underside (red marked screws first, then the
orange marked one) and reconstruct all plug connections. The correct wiring of the valve controller
can be seen in the picture. All the other plugs are marked directly on the PCB. Otherwise see PCB
layout 3.3.2. The flat ribbon cable must be placed again in the socket, which has to be locked.
Check the firm fit by a slight traction on the cable.
After having closed the housing first connect the mains and then switch on the X-dock. The
configuration of the new SD cards will be done automatically and will take some time.

Now, lay the top housing aside scratch protected on a flat surface and loosen the four hex Allen
screws of the display frame. Now, remove the old display. The new display’s spare part set will be
delivered apart of the display also with sealing, the frame, the flat ribbon cable and four hex Allen
screws. For the new display, it is mandatory to replace also all the other mentioned parts
accordingly. Use these parts for the new touch display only.
Once the new display is positioned over the display frame and fixed by the hex Allen screws
reconstruct the plug connection to the PCB. To this, push the cable coming from the valve block
and with the blue stripe in direction to the PCB through the slot of the cable routing and into the
prior unlocked plug. Lock it and check the firm fit by a slight traction on the cable.
Finally, reconnect all plug connections and test the station after the assembly. Calibrate the display
when necessary (see Chapter Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.)

The replacement of the display frame is described in Chapter 3.3.5.4. To change the top housing,
disassemble the pump, the loud speaker, the hosing and the exchange display from the old top
housing. They will be used for the new housing as well as the thread for the dust filter, which is not
included in the set and has to be reused also.
Included in the housing set is a type label. It has to be fixed on the master’s backside and the part
and serial number of the present instrument has to be entered by hand.

To disassemble the top housing completely remove the sealing cartridge from both hose lines as
described in 3.2.2 and if necessary unlock the plug connections to the PCB.
Now, the module PCB, the non-return valve and the 3/2 way valve as well as the entire top housing
are in access.

Ensure that a SD card is inserted again before building in the new PCB. Use either the old SD card
or a new SD card, which is now available as a spare part and insert it at the bottom of the PCB.
After that, use the guide rail again for the new PCB.
Now, link the charging PCB of the X-am+ Module and hand tight the plastic screws.
Place the PCB now in reverse order in the housing and fix it with the four screws with a tightening
torque of 35 N/cm. The orange marked screw is the last one to tighten.
Finally, configure the PCB to the appropriate module according to the following switch positions
(the PCB’s switch positions see 3.3.7).
Note:
The DIP layout has been changed. Older PCBs in the field have a different jumper
setting! The current design is using two 3-dip-switches.
The old layout used one 3-dip-switch and two 1-dip-switches.
Note
A configuration of the new PCB by software is not necessary. A firmware is
preinstalled. The part number and the altered serial number of the module are
available on the insert. The SD card will be configured automatically as well.

The AA-Version has a slightly different module-to-module connector. Instead of using the rubber
connector the hoses must be attached manually. To reach the hoses an additional plate at the
bottom was introduced which can be opened and closed.
The master is always the same but the modules have a different connection on the right side.
The AA-Version has a slightly different module-to-module connector. Instead of using the rubber
connector the hoses must be attached manually. Furthermore a plate offers the necessary access.
The hoses must directly be connected to the connector block as seen in the picture.
Please refer to the training videos and the assembly instructions for further information how to
assemble and disassembly the AA-Version.
There is not a big difference in the service on the AA-Versions. The repair instructions are the
same but with a slightly different assembly and disassembly.
The service may (currently no script is released) get script files which will be necessary for the
correction of more in-depth software problems. This procedure is intended for special actions which
will be announced by a service information when necessary.
To run them, save the file you want to use on an USB stick and put it in a switched off station.
Now, start the station and press the start button for additional 30 seconds. The station will now
search for a script file and will run it.
Note:
There must not be more than one script file on the plugged in USB stick. Otherwise,
the station will not run any file.
Please refer to the Doris service information and D-World news for current known issues and how
to repair.
E.g. the SD card update (service information no. 2) will fix nearly all known non-systematic
software issues but all data/configuration is lost on the X-dock itself.
