Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
This chapter briefly describes the SDM-E2 Docking Station and the Single Module
Data Viewer Program. This chapter also describes the SDM - E2 Do cki ng Stati on
Standalone Operation Operator’s Manual (this document). Table 1 at the end of this
chapter lists the SDM-E2’s specifications.
About the SDM-E2
The SDM-E2 Docking Station is an advanced, reliable system that provides charging,
calibration, bump testing, and calibration and bump test records for the EAGLE 2
portable gas monitor. It is designed to save the calibration and bump test records to a
USB flash drive (standalone functionality) or to be connected directly to a computer
(PC controlled functionality). If calibration and bump test records are stored to a USB
flash drive while operating in the standalone configuration, the Single Module Data
Viewer Program can then be used with a Windows-based personal computer to
retrieve calibration and bump test data files from the USB flash drive or from the
computer’s hard drive if the files have been transferred to the hard drive from the
flash drive. If you are using the PC Controller Program while operating in the PC
controlled configuration, you may retrieve instrument data, bump test, and calibrate
up to 10 instruments at once. Instrument information and data for each instrument
can be viewed directly using the PC Controller Program and can be printed from the
PC Controller Program. For instructions to use the SDM-E2 with the PC Controller
Program, see the SDM-E2 Docking Station PC Controller Configuration Operator’s
Manual.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to set up and use the SDM-E2 in
Standalone configuration. It also explains how to use the Single Module Data Viewer
Program. You will learn how to:
• install and launch the Single Module Data Viewer
• prepare the SDM-E2 for use
• perform a bump test
• perform a calibration
• save calibration and bump test records to a USB flash drive
• view, print, and export calibration and bump test records
• use the SDM-E2 to charge an EAGLE 2

Chapter 3: Preparing to Use the SDM-E2
Overview
There are four tasks that must be completed before you can begin to use the
SDM-E2: hardware assembly, setting or confirming the bump test and calibration
parameters, connecting calibration gas, and installing the Single Module Data Viewer
Software on your computer. This chapter describes how to assemble the parts that
are shipped with the SDM-E2 and set or view the bump test and calibration
parameters. It also describes how to install the Single Module Data Viewer Software
on a Windows based personal computer.
Hardware Assembly
The hardware assembly consists of connecting the AC adapter, installing the air filter,
and connecting the sample tubing. Perform the following to complete the hardware
assembly:
1. Place the SDM-E2 on a convenient table top near an AC wall socket in a well
ventilated area. A location near a window that can be opened is best so that
the exhaust can be routed to the window.
2. Connect the AC adapter’s wall plug into a wall AC socket.
3. Insert the round plug on the end of the AC adapter’s cable into the power jack
on the back of the SDM-E2.
NOTE: If you have multiple SDM-E2s and are using a 3-port AC adapter, plug
each of the round plugs on the end of the AC adapter into the power
jack on the back of 3 separate SDM-E2s.
4. Install the air filter so that the arrow on the filter that indicates direction of flow
is pointing towards the AIR fitting. Push the open end of the flexible tube that is
on one end of the filter onto the AIR fitting on the back of the SDM-E2.
NOTE: If you have an EAGLE 2 with an IR CO2 sensor in the 0-10,000 ppm or
0-5.00 %vol range, be sure to replace the air filter at the AIR inlet fitting
with the CO2 scrubber when testing an instrument with a CO2 sensor
installed to ensure that the CO2 present in fresh air is scrubbed out.
Remove the black end caps from each end of the scrubber before
installing onto the AIR inlet fitting. Replace the caps when the scrubber
is not in use. See the “Spare Parts List” on page 81 for a scrubber with
a tubing stub.
5. Install the 10 foot long 3/16 inch ID flexible tube that is included with the SDME2 on the exhaust fitting. Route the tube to an area where the exhaust can be

Page 18
safely dispersed, such as an open window.
CAUTION: The maximum recomme nded le ngth for th e exha ust tube i s 30 feet. Do
not use more than 30 feet of tubing or tubing with an ID of less than
3/16 inch for the exhaust tube or the bump test and calibration
accuracy may be adversely affected. The tube that is shipped with the
SDM-E2 has an ID of 3/16 inch and is 10 feet long.
6. Install the 3 foot long 3/16 inch ID tubes that are included with the SDM-E2 on
the GAS 1 and GAS 2 fittings.
Setting the Operational Parameters
in Edit Mode
Once the hardware has been assembled, use Edit Mode to confirm or adjust bump
test, calibration, and gas inlet parameters before using the SDM-E2.
The bump test parameters define how long fresh air and calibration gas are applied to
an instrument during a bump test. They also define the tolerance used in determining
whether an instrument fails or passes a bump test and whether or not a calibration
automatically takes place if a bump test fails. The calibration parameters define how
long fresh air and calibration gas are applied to an instrument during a calibration.
The gas inlet parameters define what gas inlet fittings (GAS 1, GAS 2, or both) will be
used during bump tests and calibrations.
The bump test and calibration parameters are saved in the SDM-E2’s memory. If a
parameter is changed with one particular EAGLE 2 installed in the SDM-E2, the
change will be in effect for the bump test or calibration of any subsequent EAGLE 2
until the parameter is changed again.
Bump Test & Calibration Parameters
There are four bump test parameters and two calibration parameters. The two
calibration parameters, air sample time and calibration gas sample time, are also
bump test parameters. The parameters are described below. Table 3 below shows
the factory settings for the bump test and calibration parameters. If you wish to use
the factory settings, then you do not need to make any parameter adjustments. If you
wish to confirm or change the parameter settings, follow the instructions below in
“Setting the Bump Test Parameters” on page 18 or “Setting the Calibration
Parameters” on page 20.

Air Sample Time (AIR TIME)
The air sample time can be set separately for bump testing and calibration. It is the
length of time that the SDM-E2 will draw air through the AIR fitting on the back of the
docking station. Air is drawn during a bump test or calibration before an air adjust
operation and to purge calibration gas from the system after calibration gas has been
drawn through the GAS 1 or GAS 2 fittings on the back of the docking station.
Calibration Gas Sample Time (GAS TIME)
The calibration gas sample time can be set separately for bump testing and
calibration. It is the length of time that the SDM-E2 will draw calibration gas through
the GAS 1 or GAS 2 fittings on the back of the docking station during a bump test. If
the GAS TIME is set to AUTO, the SDM-E2 applies calibration gas for the appropriate
amount of time based on the sensors installed in the EAGLE 2.
Bump Test Check Tolerance (CHECK)
The bump test check tolerance only applies to bump testing. It determines how close
the EAGLE 2 gas reading must be to the calibration gas concentration for each
channel during a bump test in order to pass the bump test. It is defined as a
percentage of the calibration gas concentration.The amount that the EAGLE 2 gas
reading differs from the calibration gas concentration must be equal to or less than
this percentage of the calibration gas concentration. For example, if the tolerance is
set to ±50%, and the %LEL calibration gas concentration is 50% LEL, then the bump
test gas reading for the LEL channel on the EAGLE 2 must be 50 %LEL ± 25 %LEL.
Setting the Operational Parameters in Edit Mode • 14
Page 20
The F±10%, F±20%, F±30%, etc. options represent a fast bump tolerance. If one of
these “F” type tolerances is selected and the gas reading for the sensor(s) being
tested is above the lower tolerance and below the upper tolerance within 10 seconds,
the sensor(s) pass bump testing, the gas application will be stopped, and the test will
move on to the next sensor(s) or to the fresh air purge. If the gas reading on any of
the tested channels is below the lower tolerance or above the upper tolerance within
10 seconds, the gas application will continue for the time period defined by the GAS
TIME bump test parameter, and the pass/fail status of the sensor(s) will be
determined at that point. Using an “F” type tolerance allows calibration gas to be
saved when the sensor respond quickly and accurately.
Consider the following scenario as an example.
• 50% LEL methane used for bump testing the combustible gas channel
• GAS TIME bump test parameter set to 20 seconds
• Tolerance set to F±50%, which means that the acceptable reading range is 25%
LEL - 75% LEL
The table below shows possible readings at 10 seconds and the effect on the gas
application.
Table 4: Example Fast Bump Scenarios
Gas Reading 10 Seconds
Into Fast Bump
Outcome
15% LEL (-70% of 50% LEL) • Gas application continues for the full 20 seconds
• Pass/fail determined at end of 20 seconds
30% LEL (-40% of 50% LEL) • Gas application stops
• Sensor passes bump testing
60% LEL (+20% of 50% LEL) • Gas application stops
• Sensor passes bump testing
80% LEL (+60% of 50% LEL) • Gas application continues for the full 20 seconds
• Pass/fail determined at end of 20 seconds
Automatic Calibration (AUTO CAL)
Automatic calibration only applies to bump testing. It can be set to on or off. If it is set
to on, then the docking station will automatically perform a calibration if a bump test
fails.
Turning on the SDM-E2 with an EAGLE 2
Do the following to turn on the SDM-E2 and establish a connection with an EAGLE 2:
1. Confirm that the AC Adapter is connected to the SDM-E2 and to an AC wall

With the exception of the default settings outlined in “Appendix A: Bump Testing and
Calibrating EAGLE 2s with IR Sensors” on page 84, all of the standard 4 sensors
(catalytic LEL, O2, H2S, and CO) are assigned to GAS 1 and special sensors (PID,
TC, IR, and ESM-01) are assigned to GAS 2. When you change a gas inlet
assignment for a particular gas combination (for example, changing the gas inlet for a
high range PID channel to GAS 1 so that a 5-gas cylinder can be utilized), the SDME2 will remember the gas inlet setting for other EAGLE 2s with the same gas
combination. The SDM-E2 will remember the gas inlet setting for 10 EAGLE 2 gas
combinations. When an 11th gas combination is connected, the 1st gas

Connecting Calibration Gas
The GAS 1 and GAS 2 fittings on the back of the docking station are designed to be
used with a calibration gas cylinder that is fitted with a demand flow regulator. The
AIR fitting may be used with a demand flow regulator and a cylinder of zero
emissions air, but this is not normally necessary since the docking station will
generally be in a fresh air area.
The type of calibration gas cylinder used for the GAS 1 fitting depends on the gas
sensors installed in the EAGLE 2. A 4-gas mix, LEL/Oxygen/CO/H2S, is used for the
GAS 1 fitting if the instrument being used with the docking station is a standard 4-gas
instrument or is a version that has less than 4 standard channels but still has an H2S
channel. If the instrument does not have an H2S channel, then a 3-gas mix, LEL/
Oxygen/CO, is used for the GAS 1 fitting. Although a 4-gas cylinder will work for an
instrument of any standard gas combination, if you have multiple 3- and 4-gas
instruments, you may want to keep a 4-gas cylinder and a 3-gas cylinder to help
preserve the charcoal filter that protects the CO sensor in instruments without an H2S
channel.
The GAS 2 fitting is intended to be used for special sensors (i.e. PID, TC, ESM-01,
etc.). If you have a special sensor installed (i.e. PID, TC, ESM-01, etc.), a special
cylinder for the target gas of that sensor needs to be used for calibration. For
example, if you have a standard 4-gas instrument plus a PID sensor, you will need
both a 4-gas cylinder and a cylinder of 10 ppm isobutylene for low range or 100 ppm
isobutylene for high range calibration. The isobutylene cylinder needs to be
connected to the GAS 2 fitting on the back of the SDM-E2. Similarly, if you have a
standard 4-gas EAGLE 2 plus an ammonia ESM-01 sensor, you will need a cylinder
of 10 ppm ammonia connected to the GAS 2 fitting on the back of the SDM-E2. If you
have a standard 4-gas EAGLE 2 plus a PID sensor and an ammonia ESM-01 sensor,
you will need both an isobutylene calibration cylinder and an ammonia calibration
cylinder. If you have an EAGLE 2 configuration for which a 5-gas cylinder is available
(ie. standard 4 plus SO2 or standard 4 plus high range PID), you may use the 5-gas
cylinder and connect it to the GAS 1 fitting. The SO2 or high range PID channel will
have to be assigned to GAS 1 (see “Setting the Gas Inlet Parameters” on page 22).
For instruments with 2 special sensors, the calibration cylinder for the first special
sensor channel (typically channel 5) needs to be connected to the GAS 2 fitting first.
During bump testing or calibration, the EAGLE 2 screen will prompt you to change the
GAS 2 calibration cylinder when it needs to calibrate the second special sensor
(typically channel 6). If one of the two special sensors has a target gas that’s in a
5-gas cylinder (ie. SO
2
5-gas cylinder is used and the appropriate channel is reassigned to GAS 1.

To connect calibration gas to the SDM-E2, do the following:
1. If the area around the docking station is not considered a fresh air area (an
area free of combustible and toxic gases and of normal oxygen content,
20.9%) install a tube not longer than 10 feet on the filter attached to the AIR
fitting on the back of the docking station and route it to a fresh air area or
connect a cylinder of zero air with a demand flow regulator to the AIR fitting.
2. Install the demand flow regulator on the calibration gas cylinder(s).
WARNING: RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends that you dedicate a regulator for use
with chlorine (Cl2) gas and that you do not use that dedicated regulator for
any other gases, particularly hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
3. Connect the demand flow regulator to the GAS 1 or GAS 2 inlet fitting using
the 3 foot length of 3/16 inch ID sample tubing provided with the docking
station.
For a 3- or 4-gas mix, connect the regulator to the GAS 1 inlet.
For a special calibration cylinder (PID, TC, ESM-01, etc.), connect the
regulator to the GAS 2 inlet.

Chapter 4: Operation
Overview
When you have completed the tasks in "Chapter 3: Preparing to Use the SDM-E2",
you are ready to use the SDM-E2 docking station. The SDM-E2 is capable of
performing bump tests and calibrations on the EAGLE 2. It can also charge the
optional rechargeable NiMH batteries in the EAGLE 2. This chapter describes
procedures for using the docking station to bump test, calibrate, and recharge
EAGLE 2s in the standalone configuration of the docking station. It also describes the
information that is saved in the docking station’s memory and how to save that
information to a USB flash drive for use with the Single Module Data Viewer Program.
Bump Testing Instruments with Standard
Sensors
The following instructions apply to EAGLE 2s with one or more of the standard four
sensors (catalytic LEL, O2, CO, and H2S). If your EAGLE 2 includes one or more
special sensors such as a TC, PID, ESM-01, etc., see “Bump Testing an Instrument
with Special Sensors” on page 42 for bump testing instructions.
When a bump test is performed, the SDM-E2 performs a fresh air adjustment on an
EAGLE 2 and then applies calibration gas to the instrument. The docking station then
analyzes the response results based on criteria defined by the bump test check
tolerance parameter and determines if the instrument passed the bump test. The
bump test check tolerance is defined in “Bump Test Check Tolerance (CHECK)” on
page 14. If the automatic calibration parameter is set to ON, then the SDM-E2 will
automatically perform a calibration if the bump test fails.
Do the following to perform a bump test:
1. Confirm that the AC Adapter is connected to the SDM-E2 and to an AC wall
socket.
2. Press and hold the SDM-E2’s POWER button. The LEDs will turn amber.
3. When the BUMP and CAL LEDs turn off, release the POWER button.
4. The COPY LED will be off or on steadily and the CHARGE LED will be blinking
green if the SDM-E2 is operating properly or solid red if there is a system
failure. The amount of free memory in the SDM-E2 will dictate the condition of
the COPY LED (see “Available Memory in the SDM-E2” on page 69).

20. Remove the EAGLE 2 from the SDM-E2.
21. If you wish to calibrate additional instruments, repeat step 5 - step 20 above
for each additional instrument.
Bump Testing an Instrument
with Special Sensors
When a bump test is performed, the SDM-E2 performs a fresh air adjustment on an
EAGLE 2 and then applies calibration gas to the instrument. The docking station then
analyzes the response results based on criteria defined by the bump test check
tolerance parameter and determines if the instrument passed the bump test. The
bump test check tolerance is defined in “Bump Test Check Tolerance (CHECK)” on
page 14. If the automatic calibration parameter is set to on, then the SDM-E2 will
automatically perform a calibration if the bump test fails.
Instruments that have one or more special sensors installed need one or more gas
cylinders to connect to the GAS 2 fitting. Be sure that you have the required
calibration cylinders for your sensors. If you are using a 5-gas cylinder for a special
sensor, be sure that the gas inlet parameters are appropriately assigned as described
in “Setting the Gas Inlet Parameters” on page 22. If your EAGLE 2 has an IR sensor
installed, see “Appendix A: Bump Testing and Calibrating EAGLE 2s with IR Sensors”
on page 84 for a brief description of operation specific to IR sensors.
NOTE: If you wish to calibrate only the standard four sensors or only the
special sensors, be sure that the Gas Inlet Parameters are set
appropriately as described in “Setting the Gas Inlet Parameters” on
page 22.
Do the following to perform a bump test:
1. Confirm that the AC Adapter is connected to the SDM-E2 and to an AC wall
socket.
2. Press and hold the SDM-E2’s POWER button. The LEDs will turn amber.
3. When the BUMP and CAL LEDs turn off, release the POWER button.
4. The COPY LED will be off or on steadily and the CHARGE LED will be blinking
green if the SDM-E2 is operating properly or solid red if there is a system
failure. The amount of free memory in the SDM-E2 will dictate the condition of
the COPY LED (see “Available Memory in the SDM-E2” on page 69).

55 • Bump Testing an Instrument with Special Sensors
Page 61
Calibrating an Instrument
with Special Sensors
When a calibration is performed, the docking station performs a fresh air adjustment
on an instrument and then applies calibration gas to the instrument. The docking
station analyzes the calibration results and determines if the instrument passed the
calibration.
Instruments that have one or more special sensors installed need one or more gas
cylinders to connect to the GAS 2 fitting. Be sure that you have the required
calibration cylinders for your sensors. If you are using a 5-gas cylinder for a special
sensor, be sure that the gas inlet parameters are appropriately assigned as described
in “Setting the Gas Inlet Parameters” on page 22. If your EAGLE 2 has an IR sensor
installed, see “Appendix A: Bump Testing and Calibrating EAGLE 2s with IR Sensors”
on page 84 for a brief description of operation specific to IR sensors.
NOTE: If you wish to calibrate only the standard four sensors or only the
special sensors, be sure that the Gas Inlet Parameters are set
appropriately as described in “Setting the Gas Inlet Parameters” on
page 22.
To perform a calibration on an instrument:
1. Confirm that the AC Adapter is connected to the SDM-E2 and to an AC wall
socket.
2. Press and hold the SDM-E2’s POWER button. The LEDs will turn amber.
3. When the BUMP and CAL LEDs turn off, release the POWER button.
4. The COPY LED will be off or on steadily and the CHARGE LED will be blinking
green if the SDM-E2 is operating properly or solid red if there is a system
failure. The amount of free memory in the SDM-E2 will dictate the condition of
the COPY LED (see “Available Memory in the SDM-E2” on page 69).

equipped with them. To maximize the EAGLE 2’s run time and the battery life, make
sure the batteries’ charge is as low as possible before recharging them.
WARNING: Do not plug the charger cable into a battery pack that contains alkaline
batteries. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries.
Recharing a Battery Pack After Performing a
Bump Test or Calibration
1. Perform a bump test or calibration on an instrument as described in “Bump
Testing Instruments with Standard Sensors” on page 28 or “Calibrating
Instruments with Standard Sensors” on page 36.
2. After the bump test or calibration has been completed, turn off the instrument
by pressing and holding the EDIT ENTER and POWER buttons
simultaneously until the instrument turns off, about one second, and then
releasing them. If no buttons are pressed for 10 minutes, the docking station
will automatically turn off the instrument and begin the charge cycle.
3. Be sure that the AC adapter is plugged into a wall outlet, that the power jack is
plugged into the back panel of the SDM-E2, and that the charger cable is
plugged into the back of the EAGLE 2.
4. Before you plug in the charger cable, the CHARGE LED will be blinking green.
After you plug in the charger cable, the CHARGE LED will blink amber. The
BUMP and/or CAL LED will continue to be either green or red depending
on the result of the previous bump test or calibration.
NOTE: The SDM-E2 does not start charging the batteries until the EAGLE 2 is
off. If the charger cable is plugged into the charging jack on the EAGLE
2 while the instrument is still on, the CHARGE LED will blink green.
Once the instrument is shut off, the CHARGE LED will begin to blink
amber.
5. If the battery pack is fully charged, then the CHARGE LED will turn solid green
in a few minutes.
If the battery pack is drained enough for the docking station to charge it, the
CHARGE LED will continue to blink amber while charging is taking place. The
SDM-E2 will take approximately 10 hours to charge a fully discharged EAGLE
2.
If you are attempting to charge alkaline batteries, the CHARGE LED will either
turn steadily red or start to blink red 2-3 minutes after the charger cable has
been plugged into the charger jack.
Charging an Instrument in a Docking Station • 66
Page 72
NOTE: If alkaline batteries are detected, the SDM-E2 must be turned off and
on again before attempting to charge another battery pack.
If the charging process encounters a fail condition, the CHARGE LED will turn
steadily red. A fail condition could indicate that there is something wrong with
the NiMH batteries, or that there is something wrong with the charger.
6. When the charge is complete, the CHARGE status LED will turn solid green.
Recharging a Battery Pack Without Performing Any Operations
1. Confirm that the AC Adapter is connected to the SDM-E2 and to an AC wall
socket and that the power jack is plugged into the back panel of the SDM-E2.
2. Plug the charger cable into the EAGLE 2.
3. Press and hold the SDM-E2’s POWER button. The LEDs will turn amber.
4. When the BUMP and CAL LEDs turn off, release the POWER button.
5. The CHARGE LED will be blinking amber.
6. If the battery pack is fully charged, then the blinking amber LED will turn solid
green in a few minutes.
If the battery pack is drained enough for the SDM-E2 to charge it, the
CHARGE LED will continue to blink amber while charging is taking place. The
SDM-E2 will take approximately 10 hours to charge a fully discharged EAGLE
2.
If you are attempting to charge alkaline batteries, the CHARGE LED will either
turn steadily red or start to blink red 2-3 minutes after the charger cable has
been plugged into the charger jack.
NOTE: If alkaline batteries are detected, the SDM-E2 must be turned off and
on again before attempting to charge another battery pack.
If the charging process encounters a fail condition, the CHARGE LED will turn
steadily red. A fail condition could indicate that there is something wrong with
the NiMH batteries, or that there is something wrong with the charger.
7. When the charge is complete, the CHARGE status LED will turn solid green.

If the charger is connected to the EAGLE 2 and the batteries in the EAGLE 2 do not
have enough power to keep the instrument on, it will go into a 20 minute charge cycle
and the following screen will be displayed on the EAGLE 2.
It will not connect to the SDM-E2. The instrument cannot be bump tested or
calibrated in the charge cycle. Once the 20 minute charge cycle has ended, the unit
will automatically turn back on and connect to the SDM-E2. The unit can now be
bump tested or calibrated.

Calibration and Bump Test Records
The SDM-E2 saves a record of each bump test and calibration performed. It is
capable of saving up to 200 such records. When an SDM-E2’s memory becomes full,
the oldest record is overwritten when a new record is saved. The records saved in the
SDM-E2’s memory can be saved to a USB flash drive using the USB port on the
front.
Available Memory in the SDM-E2
The COPY LED indicates how much of the SDM-E2’s memory has been used. The
table below describes the various indications.
Table 7: COPY LED Indications
COPY LED Indication Memory Used
Off None. No records are saved
Solid Green Less than 80% of the SDM-E2’s memory
has been used.
Solid Amber More than 80% of the SDM-E2’s memory
has been used.
Solid Red The docking station’s memory is full. A
newly saved record will overwrite the oldest
one.
Copying Calibration and Bump Test Records to a USB Flash Drive
The SDM-E2 will only perform a copy operation if there is at least one record saved in
its memory. If there are no records saved in the docking station’s memory, the COPY
LED will be off and the COPY button will not function. Do the following to copy
calibration and bump test records in the SDM-E2’s memory to a USB flash drive.
NOTE: The USB port on the front of the docking station cannot be used to
connect the SDM-E2 to a computer, only to save calibration and bump
test records to a USB flash drive.
1. Confirm that the AC Adapter is connected to the SDM-E2 and to an AC wall
socket.
2. Press and hold the SDM-E2’s POWER button. The LEDs will turn amber.
3. When the BUMP and CAL LEDs turn off, release the POWER button.
4. The COPY LED will be off or on steadily and the CHARGE LED will be blinking
green.The amount of free memory in the SDM-E2 will dictate the condition of
the COPY LED (see "Available Memory in the SDM-E2" above).
5. Install a USB flash drive into the USB port on the front of the SDM-E2. The
69 • Calibration and Bump Test Records
Page 75
SDM-E2 will take a few seconds to determine how much memory is available
in the flash drive.
• If the flash drive’s available memory is not enough for the contents of the
SDM-E2’s memory, the COPY LED will alternate between green and red.
Enough memory will have to be cleared in the flash drive to make room for
the records in the SDM-E2’s memory.
• If there is enough available memory in the flash drive for the contents of the
SDM-E2’s memory, the COPY LED will begin flashing in the same color
that it was before installing the flash drive.
6. Press and hold the COPY button until the COPY LED turns red, then release
it. The COPY LED will become solid red while the records in the docking
station’s memory are copied to the flash drive. In addition, if the flash drive has
an LED, it will begin to blink.
7. When the COPY LED returns to its original color and begins blinking again and
the flash drive’s LED (if it has one) stops blinking, the copy operation is
complete. Remove the flash drive from the USB port.
NOTE: If you pull out the flash drive while its LED is still blinking and the COPY
LED is still solid red, the file saved in the flash drive with the calibration
and bump test records may be incomplete.
8. If the flash drive has not already been used with a docking station, a folder
named DAT will be created on the flash drive and a file with all the saved
calibration and bump test records will be saved to this folder.
If the flash drive has been used before with a docking station, the file will be
saved to the existing DAT folder.
9. The files on the flash drive can now be either transferred to a computer or kept
on the flash drive for use with the Single Module Data Viewer Software. See
"Bump Test and Calibration Record Files" below for a discussion of these files
and how to use them.
Clearing the SDM-E2’s Memory
Make sure that you save the bump test and calibration records in the SDM-E2’s
memory to a flash drive before clearing its memory. The docking station’s memory
can be cleared by simultaneously pressing and holding the CAL and COPY
buttons for five seconds. After the SDM-E2’s memory has been cleared, the COPY
LED will turn off indicating there are no records to be copied.
Bump Test and Calibration Record Files
Each time a copy function is performed, a file is saved to the flash drive in the DAT
folder. The file name will begin with “SDM-E2” and the remainder of the file name will
depend on the serial number of the SDM-E2 used and the date of the most recent
bump test or calibration performed on the SDM-E2. So it is possible to have multiple
files in the DAT folder from the SDM-E2.
Calibration and Bump Test Records • 70
Page 76
The files that an SDM-E2 saves to a USB flash drive are structured so that they can
be imported into a database controlled by the Single Module Data Viewer Software.
See “Importing Files Into the Database” on page 74 for instructions to add files to the
database.
Bump Testing or Calibrating and Saving Files To a Flash Drive
Multiple Times In One Day
The SDM-E2 assigns file names to calibration and bump test record files based on
the day of the most recent calibration or bump test record saved in the docking
station’s memory. If a copy operation is performed, then additional bump tests or
calibrations are performed, and another copy operation is performed with the same
flash drive all on the same day, the existing file on the flash drive from the first copy
operation will be overwritten by the file from the second copy operation because its
name will be the same as the new file. In this case, no information is lost since the
second file saved to the flash drive includes all the records that were in the first file.
However, if a copy operation is performed, and the SDM-E2’s memory is cleared,
then additional bump tests or calibrations are performed, and another copy operation
is performed with the same flash drive all on the same day, this will result in the
information in the file from the first copy operation being lost. This is because the file
saved to the flash drive in the second copy operation only includes records since the
memory was cleared and when it overwrites the file from the first copy operation, all
the information in the first file is lost.
CAUTION: If copying an SDM-E2’s memory to a flash drive multiple times during
the same day and the SDM-E2’s memory is cleared, transfer the
calibration/bump test record files from the flash drive to a computer
hard drive or some other memory device before performing another
copy operatio n to avoid loss of data.

Appendix A: Bump Testing and Calibrating EAGLE 2s
with IR Sensors
The default gas port assignments for EAGLE 2s that have IR sensors installed are
different from EAGLE 2s without IR sensors and depend on the type of IR sensor.
Table 9 below outlines the default gas port assignments for various typical sensor
combinations. The gas combinations listed under the “Multiple IR Sensors” section
are listed as the channels appear on the screen. The gas port assignments can be
changed if the default assignment is not desireable. See “Setting the Gas Inlet
Parameters” on page 22 for instructions to change the gas port assignment.
NOTE: These default gas port assignments apply only to the SDM-E2 when
used in its Standalone Configuration. See the SDM-E2 PC Controlled

IR CO2 (any range) + IR “HC” (LEL only or autoranging) IR CO2: GAS 2
IR “HC”: GAS 1
IR CH4 (volume only) + IR “HC” (LEL only or autoranging) IR CH4: GAS 2
IR “HC”: GAS 1
IR CH4 (volume only) + IR “IBU” (LEL only or autoranging) IR CH4 vol only: GAS 2
IR “IBU”: GAS 1
IR CH4 (volume only) + IR “custom name” (LEL only or
autoranging)*
IR CH4 vol only: GAS 1
IR “custom”: GAS 2
IR CH4 (volume only) + IR CH4 (LEL only or autoranging) IR CH4 vol only: GAS 2
IR CH4 LEL/auto: GAS 1
IR CH4 (volume only) + IR CO2 (any range) IR CH4: GAS 1
IR CO2: GAS 2
* Depending on special requirements, your infrared hydrocarbon channel’s gas name may be
something other than “HC” or “IBU”.
An IR sensor that can be bump tested or calibrated with one or more of the standard
4 sensors (catalytic LEL, oxygen, H
S, or CO) using a 3-gas or a 4-gas cylinder will
2
be assigned to GAS 1, except for an IR HC sensor that has been given a custom
name. If only an IR sensor is installed in an instrument, it will be assigned to GAS 1.
Generally, if there are 2 IR sensors installed in one EAGLE 2, the first channel listed
will be assigned to the GAS 1 port and the second channel listed will be assigned to
the GAS 2 port. If an LEL only or autoranging range of an IR CH4 or an IR HC sensor
(without a custom name) is installed, that sensor will always be assigned to GAS 1
regardless of its place in the channel order.
