This article contains requirements and instructions for installing firmware updates on compatible gas detectors
Device firmware updates are automatically distributed to connected X-docks. When a compatible device is placed in the X-dock and the appropriate setting is configured on the X-dock, firmware updates are automatically installed on the portable gas detectors with the test or calibration.
NOTE: The update is automatically installed when a compatible device with an available firmware update is placed in the X-Dock. The step cannot be skipped if this is set in the test profile.
⚠️ Requirements
- Connected X-dock - firmware update file download commences automatically
- Compatible gas detectors
- Dräger X-am Series

Step-by-step guide
1. Set up X-dock to install software updates on compatible devices. Software updates are a separate test step that can be selected individually for each test/calibration profile.
- Login on X-dock and open menu
- Open "Define test"
- Open edit menu for respective test & calibration
- Go to "Further options"
- Select "Update SW"
2. Update device
Compatible devices are automatically updated when new firmware is available and the "Update SW" step is selected in a test/calibration.
- Place compatible device in connected X-dock
- Run test or calibration with "Update SW" step enabled
- Update will install with the test/calibration automatically
