This chapter briefly describes the SDM-03 Docking Station and the Single Module
Data Viewer Program. This chapter also describes the SDM-03 Docking Station Standalone Operation Operator’s Manual (this document). Table 1 at the end of this
chapter lists the SDM-03’s specifications.
About the SDM-03
The SDM-03 Docking Station is an advanced, reliable system that provides
calibration, bump testing, and calibration and bump test records for the 03 Series
portable gas monitors. It is de signe d to sa ve t he calibratio n a nd bu mp te st reco rds to
a USB flash drive (standalone functionality) or to be connected directly to a computer
(PC controlled funct ional ity). If calibr atio n and bump test records are sto red 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 cal ibration 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 P r ogram while operating in the PC
controlled configuration, you may retrieve instrument data, bump test, and calibrate
up to 10 instruments at once. Instrument in formation and data for each i nstrument
can be viewed directly using the PC Controller Program and can be printed from the
PC Controller Program. For instructions to use the SDM-03 with the PC Controller
Program, see the SDM-03 Docking Station PC Controlled Configuration Operator’s Manual.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to set up and use the SDM-03 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 Program
•prepare the SDM-03 for u se
•perform a bump test
•perform a calibration
•save calibration and bump test records to a USB flash drive
•view, print, and export calibr ation and bump test records
CAUTION:The 03 Series detects oxygen deficiency, elevated levels of oxygen,
combustible gases, carbo n mono xide, or hydrogen sulfi de, all of which
can be dangerous or life threatening. When using the 03 Series, you
must follow the i nstructions and warnings in the G P- 03 a nd OX- 0 3/C O03/HS-03 Operator’s Manuals to assure proper and safe operation of
the instrument and to minimize the risk of persona l injury.
This section describes the SDM-03 docking station. It is designed to be used on a
table top and cons ists of the AC ad apter , T ype A to T y pe B USB cable, air filte r , check
valve, 2 plastic T-fittings, sample tubing, instru ment crad le, back pa nel, cont rol p anel,
status LEDs, and 2 USB ports.
AC Adapter
Single-Port AC Adapter
The single-port AC ada pt er is a w all plug style ada pter w ith a 5 f oot cable. The en d of
the cable has a plug that connects to the power jack on the SDM-03’s back panel.
The AC adapter is rated 100 - 240 VAC input, 12 VDC 1.2 A output.
4-Port AC Adapter
The 4-port AC adapt er is a wa l l p lug style adapter with four 5-foot cables . The end of
each cable has a plug that connects to the power jack on the SDM-03’s back panel.
The AC adapter is rated 100 - 240 VAC input, 12 VDC 2.0 A output.

with the PC Controlled configuration. It is not used in the Standalone configuration.
Figure 3: USB Cable
Air Filter
A cylindrical particle filter with a short l eng th of tubi ng is s upp lied with the S DM-03 for
installation to the AIR fitting on the back panel. The filter keeps particulate
contamination out of the docking station.
Sample Tubing
Three types of sample tubes are included with the docking station. One 3 foot length
of 3/16 inch ID polyurethane tubing is provided to connect the regulator on a
calibration cylinder to the GAS fitting on the back panel. One 10 foot length of 3/16
inch ID polyurethane tubing is provided for manifolding the GAS fitti ng . Th i s t ubing is
only needed in the PC Controlled configuration of the SDM-03. In addition, a 10 foot
length of 5/16 inch ID polyurethane tubing is provided for connection to the exhaust
fitting on the back panel to allow routing of the exhaust to a location such as an open
window where the exhaust can disperse.
WARNING:Do not use an exhaust tube that is longer than 10 feet. The increased flow

restriction caused by a longer tube may affect gas response and cause
inaccurate calibration and bump test results.
Check Valve
A check valve is included with the SDM-03 but is not needed for the Standalone
configuration. It is used for the PC Controlled configuration.
T-Fittings
Two T-fi ttings are included with the SDM-03. The larger fitting is for the exhaust
tubing. The smaller fitting is for the GAS tubing. Neither T-fitting is needed for the
Standalone configuration. They are used in the PC Controlled configuration.
The instrument cradle is a recessed area on the top of the SDM-03 that is designed to
accept the 03 Series. Insert the 03 Series in the instrument cradle when you perform
a bump test or ca libration. A spring-loaded cover latches into place to secure the 0 3
Series. A sample port in the cover matches up with the 03 Series’ diffusion port and
routes air and calibration gas to the sensor during a bump test or calibration. An
infrared (IR) port at the back of the cradle lines up with the 03 Series’ IR port when it
is inserted in the cradle and is used to communicate with the 03 Series.

The back panel includes the power jack, sample fittings, and a USB PC connector.
Power Jack
The power jack is located in the bottom left corner of the back panel. The plug on the
end of the AC adapter cable mates to it.
Sample Fittings
Two sample fittings are located on the back of the SDM-03. The AIR fitting is in the
upper left corner and draws air into the SDM-03. The GAS fitting is to the right of the
AIR fitting and is used to connect the SDM-03 to a calibration gas cylinder. Both
fittings accept 3/16 inch ID tubing.
An exhaust fitting is located in the upper right corner. It allows routing of the
exhausted calibration gas to a convenient location. This fitting accepts 5/16 inch ID
tubing. Even though the exhau st gas can be r outed to an area to b e safely disp ersed,
the docking station should still be installed in a well ventilated a rea.
PC Connection
A type B USB connection is located beneath the exhaust fitting on the SDM-03’s back
panel. It is only used for the PC Controlled configuration and is not used in the
Standalone configuratio n.
The control panel is us ed to setup and operate the docking station in the Standalone
configuration. It is located at the front of the docking station. It includes the control
buttons, the control button LEDs, and the power LED.
Five control butto ns are located on the control p anel. From lef t to right the y are BUMP
T , CAL S , EDIT ENTER, COPY, and POW ER. The BUMP T , CAL S , and COPY
control buttons each have an LE D above them that indi cates the status of th e function
controlled by that butto n. The POWER LED is l ocated above the POW ER bu tton an d
functions as a pilot LED and a system failure LED.
A type A USB port is located on the front of the docking station. This port can be used
to save calibration and bump test data to a USB flash drive. This USB port is for use
only in the Standalone configuration of the SDM-03.
NOTE:The SDM-03 does not support connection of a computer to the front
There are four tasks that must be completed before you can begin to use the
SDM-03: hardware assembly, se tting or confirming the bu mp 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-03, how to set or view the bump test and calibration
parameters, and how to install the Single Module Data Viewer Software on a
Windows based personal computer.
Hardware Assembly
The hardware assembly co nsist s of connecti ng the AC ad apter, installing the a ir filter,
and connecting the sample tubing. Perform the following to complete the hardware
assembly:
1.Place the SDM-03 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 c an 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-03.
NOTE:If you have multiple SDM-03s and are using a 4-port AC adapter, plug
each of the round plugs on the end of the AC adapter into the power
jack on the back of 4 separate SDM-03s.
4.Install the air filter so that the arrow on the filter that indicates direction of flow
is pointing towards th e AIR fitting. P ush the open en d of the flexib le tube that is
on one end of the filter onto the AIR fitting on the back of the SDM-03.
5.Install the 10 foot long 5/16 inch ID flexible tube that is included with the SDM03 onto the exhaust fitting located in the upper right corner of the back panel.
Route the tube to an are a wh ere t he exha ust can be saf ely d ispersed , su ch as
an open window.
CAUTION:The maximum recomme nded le ngth for th e exha ust tube is 10 feet. Do
not use more than 10 feet of tubing or tubing with an ID of less than
5/16 inch for the exhaust tube or the bump test and calibration
accuracy may be adversely affected. The tube that is shipped with the
SDM-03 has an ID of 5/16 inch and is 10 feet long.
6.Install the 3 foot lon g 3/16 in ch ID tube that is inc luded with th e SDM-03 on the
GAS fitting.
Once the hardware has been assembled, use Edit Mode to confirm or adjust the
bump test and calibration parameters before using the SDM-03.
The bump test paramete rs define how long fresh air and calibra tion 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 bump test an d calibration parameters are saved in the SDM-03’s memory. If a
parameter is changed with one particular instrument installed in the SDM-03, the
change will be in effect for the bump test or calibration of any subsequent instruments
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 calib ration gas sample time, are also
bump test paramet ers. The parameters are descr ibed 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 n eed to make an y p arame ter adj ustme nt s. If you
wish to confirm or change the parameter settings, follow the instructions below in
“Setting the Bump Test Parameters” on page 19 or “Setting the Calibration
Parameters” on page 21.

The air sample time can be set separately for bump testing and calibration. It is the
length of time that the SDM-03 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 aft er calibration gas has been
drawn through the GAS fitting on the back of the docking station.
NOTE:For the following parameters, the 03 Series’ setting takes precedence
over the SDM-03’s setting as long as the bump test function in the 03
Series is turned on. For exam p le , if t he SDM - 03 ’s CAL setting is set to
OFF but the 03 Series’ Calibrati on Af ter Bump Te st Failed se tting is se t
to ON, a calibration will still automatically be started after a failed bump
test. If the 03 Series’ bump test function is set to off, the 03 Series’
bump test set tings have no effect and the SDM-03’s settings are used.
Calibration Gas Sample Time (GAS--IN)
The calibration gas sample time can be set separately for bump testing and
calibration. It is the length of time that the SDM-03 will draw calibration gas through
the GAS fitting on the back of the docking station during a bump test or calibration.
Bump Test Check Tolerance (TOLER)
The bump test check t oler an ce on ly applies to bump testing. It determ ines how close
the instrument ga s 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 instrument gas
reading differs from the calibration gas concentration must be equal to o r 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 f or th e LEL channel on the instrument m ust b e 5 0 %LEL ± 25 %LEL.
Automatic Calibration (AUTO--C)
Automatic calibration onl y appli es to bump testi ng. It can be set to on or off. If it is set
to on, then the docking station will automatically perform a cali bration if a bump test
fails.

Connecting Calibration Gas
The GAS fitting on the back of the docking station is 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 depends on the version of the 03 Series
being used with the calibration station. Use Table 4 below as a guide in determining
which calibration gas cylinder is appropriate fo r your system. See “Spare Parts List”
on page 55 for a list of available cylinder part numbers.

24 • Installing the Single Module Data Viewer Software
When you have completed the tasks in "Chapter 3: Preparing to Use the SDM-03",
you are ready to use the SDM-03 docking station. The SDM-03 is capable of
performing bump tests and calibrations on the 03 Series. This chapter describes
procedures for usin g the dockin g stat ion t o bump test a nd calibra te instrumen ts 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 an 03 Series
When a bump test is performed, the SDM-03 pe rforms a fresh air adjustment on an
03 Series and then app lies calibration gas to the instru ment. The docki ng statio n 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 (TOLER)” on
page 16. If the automatic calibration parameter is set to ON, then the SDM-03 will
automatically perform a calibration if the bump test fails. The screens in this section
show a GP-03 but the instructions apply to all v ersions of the 03 Series.
Do the following to perform a bump test on an 03 Series:
1.Confirm that the AC Adapter is connected to the SDM-03 and to an AC wall
socket.
2.Press and hold the SDM-03’s POWER button. The LEDs will turn amber.
3.When the BUMP T and CAL S LEDs turn off, release the POWER button.
4.The POW ER LE D will be bl ink ing gr een if the SDM -03 i s opera ting pr oper ly or

automatically begin and calibration gas will continue to flow. The CAL S
LED will begin to flash amber.
NOTE:Calibration gas will continue to be applied so that the total gas
application time is the time defined by the GAS--IN calibration
parameter. This time includes the time that the instrument was being
bump tested. If the GAS--IN calibration parameter is set to 90
seconds and the GAS--IN bump test parameter is set to 30 seconds,
the instrument will sample gas for an additional 60 seconds if the bump
test fails to bring the total exposure time to 90 seconds.

for a description of calibration results.
18. The SDM-03 will then purge the system with fresh air for the time defined by
the AIR--IN bump test parameter.
19. After the fresh air purge is complete, the 03 Series screen will alternate
between the gas reading and the bu mp test or bump test a nd calibra tion result .
For a successful bump test, the gas reading at the end of the gas application
will be displayed. For a successful automatic calibration, the auto calibration
value will be displayed. For a failed bump test or automatic calibration, the gas
reading at the end of the gas application will be displayed. If the instrume nt
passed the bump test, the B UMP T LED will turn solid green. If the instrument
failed the bump test, the BUMP T LED will turn solid red. If the instrument
passed the automatic calibration, t he CAL S LED will turn solid green. If the
instrument failed the automatic calibration, the CAL S LED will turn solid red.

The SDM-03 saves a record of each bump test and calibration performed. It is
capable of saving up to 200 such records. When a n SDM-03’ s memory become s full,
the oldest record is overwritt en when a new re cord is saved . The records saved in the
SDM-03’s memory can be saved to a USB flash drive using the USB port on the front.
Avail able Memory in the SDM-03
The COPY LED indicates how much of the SDM-03’s memory has been used. The
table below describes t he various indications.
Table 6: COPY LED Indications
COPY LED IndicationMemory Used
OffNone. No records are saved
Solid GreenLess than 80% of th e SDM-03’s memory
has been used.
Solid AmberMore than 80% of t he SDM-03’s memory
has been used.
Solid RedThe 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-03 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 st a tion ’ s memo ry, 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-03’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-03 to a computer, only to save calibr ation and bump
test records to a USB flash drive.
1.Confirm that the AC Adapter is connected to the SDM-03 and to an AC wall
socket.
2.Press and hold the SDM-03’s POWER button. The LEDs will turn amber.
3.When the BUMP T and CAL S LEDs turn off, release the POWER button.
4.The COPY LED will be off or on steadily and the POWER LED will be blinking
green. The amount of free memory in the SDM-03 will dictate the condition of
the COPY LED (see "Available Memory in the SDM-03" above).
5.Install a USB flash drive into the USB port on the front of the SDM-03. The
SDM-03 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-03’s memory, the COPY LE D w ill 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-03’s memory.
•If there is eno ugh availa ble memory i n the flash drive for th e content s of the
SDM-03’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 mem ory are co pied to t he flash dr ive. In ad dition, if t he flash dr ive has
an LED, it will begin to blink.
7.When the COPY LED retu rns to it s origina l color and begins blin king agai n and
the flash drive’s LED (if it has one) stops blinking, t he 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 or the COPY
LED is still solid red, the file saved in the fl ash dri ve wi th t he calibr ati on
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 dr ive 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" belo w for a di scussion of these files
and how to use them.
Clearing the SDM-03’s Memory
Make sure that you save the bump test and calibration records in the SDM-03’s
memory to a flash drive before clea ring its memory. The docking station’s memory
can be cleared by simultaneously pressing and holding the CAL S and COPY
buttons for five seconds. After the SDM-03’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-03” and the remainder of the file name will
depend on the seri al number of the SDM-03 used and the date of the most recent
bump test or calibration performed on the SDM-03. So it is possible to have multiple
files in the DAT folder from the SDM-03.
The files that an SDM-03 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 File s In to the Database” on page 46 for instructions t o a dd fi les to th e
database.
Bump Testing or Calibrating and Saving Files To a Flash Drive
Multiple Times In One Day
The SDM-03 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 bump tests or calibrations are performed, 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 beca use 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 bump tests or calibrations are performed, a copy operation is performed,
and the SDM-03’ s memory is cleared, then additional bump te sts or calibratio ns 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 op er at ion
being lost. This is because the file saved to t he flash drive in the secon d copy
operation only includes reco rds since the memory w as cleared and when i t overwrites
the file from the first copy operation, all the information in the first file is lost.
CAUTION:If performing bump tests or calibrations and copying an SDM-03’s
memory to a flash drive multiple times during the same day and the
SDM-03’s memory is cleared, transfer the calibration/bump test record
files from the fl ash drive to a computer hard drive or some other
memory device before performing ano ther copy oper ation to avoid loss
of data.
The Single Module Data Viewer Program is used to view, organize, and print bump
test and calibration records that were created by the SDM-03 while used in the
standalone conf iguration. It can also be used to export thes e records from its
database for use in other programs. This chapt er describes how to use the Sin gle
Module Data Viewer Program.
