Glossary
ACGIH
The ACGIH method is defined as the infinite (total) accumulated average, whether it is 2 hours or 8 hours.
BLE
Bluetooth Low Energy.
Bump test
A compliance test that confirms the detector’s ability to respond to target gases by exposing the detector to a known gas concentration. Other procedures that are specified to occur automatically when the detector is inserted into a docking module may be performed in conjunction with the bump test.
Calibration
A two-step compliance test that determines the measurement scale for the detector’s response to gas. In the first step, a baseline reading is taken in a clean, uncontaminated environment. In the second step, the sensors are exposed to known concentrations of gas. The detector uses the baseline and known gas concentrations to determine the measurement scale.
Datalog
A datalog is a file that contains detailed, date-stamped records related to detector operations and configuration settings. The datalog is continuously updated. Records that span the operating life of the detector are retained.
Event log
An event log is a file that contains detailed, time-stamped records data related to gas events, and compliance tests. The event log is updated when an event occurs. A specified number records for the most recent events are retained
Fleet Manager
A proprietary, Windows-based software developed by Honeywell to configure and manage docking modules, calibration, bump tests, and data logs. Fleet Manager II is available for download from www.honeywellanalytics.com
Gang
A group of two to five connected IntelliDoX modules. Modules that are connected share power, network and gas connections.
IntelliDoX Docking Module
An automatic bump test and calibration docking station for use with portable gas detectors manufactured by Honeywell.
IR
Infrared. IR is an invisible radiant energy that can be used for short- range wireless communications between enabled devices.
LCD
Liquid crystal display. LCD is a technology that is commonly used for display screens on mobile digital devices.
Normal atmosphere
A fresh air environment with 20.9% v/v oxygen (O2) that is free of hazardous gas
Operating Life
The period of operational use required to attain the specified operating limit. Operating life includes normal operating time, alarm time, and all types of idle time.
OSHA
The US OSHA method is defined as a moving average that accumulates over an 8-hour average. If the worker is in the field longer, the oldest accumulated values (first hour) are replaced by the newest values (ninth hour). This continues for the duration of the work shift until the detector is deactivated.
PPM
Parts per million, a measure of concentration.
Reboot
Restart the operating system for the module
Service Life
The expected lifetime of a product, as specified by the manufacturer.
Station
An area or zone dedicated to a specific activity. A compliance testing station may contain several IntelliDoX modules and gangs of connected modules.
Stealth mode
When enabled, the backlight, visual alarms, and audible alarms are disabled. During an alarm, the vibrator activates and readings are displayed on the LCD.
STEL
The Short-Term exposure Limit is the maximum permissible gas concentration a worker can be safely exposed to for short periods of time (5-15 minutes maximum).
TWA Alarm
The time-weighted average (TWA) is a safety measure used to calculate accumulated averages of gases. Using the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) method or the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH) method, an average is calculated to ensure the detector alarms when the TWA has accumulated.
V/V
Volume percent concentration.
