How often are these words said each morning as millions of people are leaving their homes to go to work? Physician appointments have become a standard routine for many individuals. These monthly or yearly visits might include checking blood pressure and cholesterol levels, or even regular physical check-ups. What do these things all have in common? They are all methods of checking to make sure that you are staying healthy and that all “systems” are working properly. These preventative maintenance measures ensure that individuals stay healthy and attempt to catch problems before they arise. What does all of this have to do with gas detection? Simple – gas detection devices are just like the human body. They need maintenance to ensure that they are working properly and capable of doing their job when gas events occur. Gas monitor maintenance has become a very important topic of discussion and much focus has been placed on portable gas detectors. Many companies are now offering docking systems or calibration stations that automatically perform the maintenance functions required for fleets of portable instruments. Systems like the DS2 Docking Station™ from Industrial Scientific can be set up on schedules to run the diagnostics, bump tests and calibrations routinely and automatically with no human intervention.
