Draeger Introduces a new E-Cal System to Automatically Calibrate up to 10 Draeger Monitors Simultaneously


September 30, 2002 - - Pittsburgh, PA - - The new Draeger E-Cal system will easily calibrate Draeger gas detection instruments while saving time and money. The E-Cal system automatically calibrates up to 10 Draeger gas monitors and documents the entire process making it ideal for ISO-9001 compliance. In addition to calibration and documentation, Draeger's E-Cal Station will also perform bump tests, download stored information, charge the instruments, and change instrument configurations with the included CC-Vision software. This computer control ensures that the calibration is done properly every time according to Draeger's exacting specifications. The E-Cal system supports different calibration gases, even mixed gases and many non-standard gases. Draeger's E-Cal system is designed so that the user can start with as little as a single drop-in instrument module and expand with the needs of the instrument program. Instrument modules can work alone as remote bump test or calibration modules. The E-Cal system makes use of "parallel" processing to simultaneously process instruments yielding significant savings in cal-gas, time, and money.
