Overview

This chapter briefly describes the SDM-2009 Docking Station and the Single Module Data Viewer Program. This chapter also describes the SDM-2009 Docking Station Standalone Operation Operator’s Manual (this document). Table 1 at the end of this chapter lists the SDM-2009’s specifications.

About the SDM-2009

The SDM-2009 Docking Station is an advanced, reliable system that provides charging, calibration, bump testing, and calibration and bump test records for the GX-2009 portable gas monitor. It is designed to save the calibration and bump test records to a USB flash drive (standal one functional ity) or to be conn ected directly to a computer (PC contr olled f unctiona lity). If calibra tion an d bump test recor ds are stor ed 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 comput er’s hard drive if the fi les have b een transferre d to the hard driv e 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 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-2009 with the PC Controller Program, see the SDM-2009 Docking S ta tion PC Co ntrolled Co nfiguration Op erator’s Manual.

Chapter 3: Preparing to Use the SDM-2009

Overview

There are four tasks that must be completed before you can begin to use the SDM-2009: 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-2009, 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-2009 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 windo w.

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-2009.

NOTE: If you have multiple SDM-2009s 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 th e back of 4 separate SDM-2009s.

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-2009.

5. Install the 10 foot long 5/16 inch ID flexible tube that is included with the SDM2009 onto the exhaust fitti ng locate d in the upper lef t corner of th e back p anel . 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-2009 has an ID of 5/16 inch and is 10 feet long.

6. Install the 3 foot long 3/16 inch ID tube that is included with the SDM-2009 on the GAS fitting.

Setting the Operational Parameters in Edit Mode

Once the hardware has been assembled, use Edit Mode to confirm or adjust the bump test and calibration parameters before using the SDM-2009.

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 and calibration parameters are saved in the SDM-2009’s memory. If a parameter is changed with one particular instrument installed in the SDM-2009, 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 17 or “Setting the Calibration Parameters” on page 19.

Air Sample Time (AIr)

The air sample time can be set separately for bump testing and calibration. It is the length of time that the SDM-2009 will draw air through the AIR fitting on the back of the docking stati on. Ai r is dra wn duri ng a bu mp tes t or cali bratio n before an air ad just 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 GX-2009’s setting takes precedence

over the SDM-2009’s setting as long as the bump test function in the GX-2009 is turned on. For example, if the SDM-2009’s CAL setting is set to OFF but the GX-2009’s Calibration After Bump Test Failed setting is set to ON, a calibration will still automatically be started after a failed bump test. If the GX-2 009’s bump test function is set to off, the GX-2009’s bump test settings have no effect and the SDM-2009’s settings are used.

Calibration Gas Sample Time (GAS)

The calibration gas sample time can be set separately for bump testing and calibration. It is the length of time that the SDM-2009 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 (CHE)

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 (CAL)

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 calibratio n g as cyli nd er u s ed de pen ds on the gas sensors installed in the instrument bein g used with th e calibration station . A 4-gas mix, LEL/Oxygen/CO/H2S,

is used if the instrument being used with the calibration station is a 4-gas unit. If the instrument does not have an H2S channel, then a 3-gas mix, LEL/Oxygen/CO, is

used. Although a 4-ga s cylinder will work for an instrume nt of any gas combina tion, if you have multiple instruments with various gas combinations, you may want to keep a 4-gas cylinder a nd a 3-gas cylinder to help preserve the charcoal filter on the CO sensor in instruments without an H2S channel. Use Table 4 below as a guide in

determining which calibration gas cylinder is appropriate for your system. See “S pa re Parts List” on page 51 for a list of available cylinder part numbers.

To connect calibration gas to the SDM-2009, 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 de mand flow regulator on the calibration gas cylinder(s).

Chapter 4: Operation

Overview

When you have completed the tasks in "Chapter 3: Prep aring to Use the SDM-2009", you are ready to use the SDM-2009 docking station. The SDM-2009 is capable of performing bump tests and calibrations on the GX-2009. It can also charge the rechargeable bat teries in the instrume nt. This chapter describes procedur es for using the docking station to bump test, calibrate, and recharge instruments 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 a GX-2009

The following instructions apply to GX-2009s with one or more of the standard four sensors (catalytic LEL, O2, CO, and H2S).

When a bump test is perfor m ed , the SD M - 200 9 pe rf or m s a fresh ai r ad j ustm en t on a GX-2009 and then applies ca libr ation g as to the i nstrum ent. The d ocking 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 (CHE)” on page 15. If the automatic calibration parameter is set to ON, then the SDM-2009 will automatically perform a calibration if the bump test fails.

Do the following to perform a bump test on a GX-2009:

1. Confirm that the AC Ada pte r is connected to the SDM-2009 and to an AC w al l socket.

2. Press and hold the SDM-2009’s POWER button. The LEDs will turn amber.

3. When th e BUMP T and CAL S 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-2009 is operating properly or solid red if there is a system failure. The amount of free memory in the SDM-2009 will dictate the condition of the COPY LED (see “Available Memory in the SDM-2009” on page 38).

5. Install a GX-2009 in the instrument cradle.

NOTE: If the GX-2009 is left in the SDM-2009 after bump testing or calibration,

the pump will run for 12 seconds every 2 minutes in order to keep hydrogen gener ated from cha rging of t he NiMH ba tteries from aff ecting the CO sensor.

In this case, continue with step 18.

14. The SDM-2009 will apply calibration gas to the instrument for the time defined by the GAS bump test parameter.

15. The SDM-2009 will analyze the results.

• If the bump test passes, continue with step 16.

• If the bump tes t fails, and CAL is set to OFF, continue with step 16.

• If the bump test fails, and CAL is set to ON, a calibration will 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 calibration parameter. This time includes the time that the instrument was being bump tested. If the GAS calibration parameter is set to 90 seconds and the GAS 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.

Calibrating a GX-2009

The following instructions apply to GX-2009s with one or more of the standard four sensors (catalytic LEL, O2, CO, and H2S).

When a calibration is performed, the docking station performs a fresh air adjustment on an instrument and then applies calibra tion gas to the instrument. The docking station analyzes the calibration results and determines if the instrument passed the calibration.

To perform a calibration on a GX-2009:

1. Confirm that the AC adapter is connected to the SDM- 2009 and to an AC wall socket.

2. Press and hold the SDM-2009’s POWER button. The LEDs will turn amber.

3. When th e BUMP T and CAL S LEDs turn off, release the POWER button.

5. Install a GX-2009 in the instrument cradle.

NOTE: If the GX-2009 is left in the SDM-2009 after bump testing or calibration,

the pump will run for 12 seconds every 2 minutes in order to keep hydrogen gener ated from cha rging of t he NiMH ba tteries from aff ecting the CO sensor.

6. Press and hold the POWER MODE button on the GX-2009 until you hear a beep, then release it. The GX-2009 will begin its power up sequence (see exceptions below in step 7). If a successful connection be tween the inst rument and the SDM-2009 occurs, the home screen will appear on the instrument display at the end of the startup sequence. The auto calibration values for all installed sensors will be displayed. If the charge LED was amber, it will begin to blink green.

Charging an Instrument in a Docking Station

The SDM-2009 can be used to charge the rechargeable batteries in a GX-2009. To maximize the instrument’s run time and the battery life, make sure the batteries’ charge is as low as possible before recharging them. You can use the GX-2009’s REFRESH function to discharge the batteries. See the GX-2009 Operator’s Manual for a complete description of the REFRESH button.

Recharging the Batteries After Perf orming a Bump Test or Calibration

1. Perform a bump test or calibration on an instrument as described in “Bump Testing a GX-2009” on page 23, “Calibrating a GX-2009” on page 29.

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. The docking station will automatically turn off the instrument 15 seconds after a successful bump test or calibration or if no buttons are pressed for 10 minutes.

3. While the instrument is on, the CHARG E LED will be blinking green. Wh en the instrument is turned off, the CHARGE LED will blink amber. The BUMP T and/ or CAL S LED will continue to be either green or red depending on the result of the previous bump test or calibration.

NOTE: The SDM-2009 does not start charging the batteries until the

instrument is off. While the instrument is on, the CHARGE LED will blink green. Once the instrument is shut off, the CHARGE LED will begin to blink amber.

4. If the batteries are fully charged, then the CHARGE LED will turn solid green in a few minutes.

If the batteries are drained enough for the docking station to charge them, the CHARGE LED will continue to blink amber while charging is taking place. The SDM-2009 will take approximately 3 hours to charge a fully discharged GX-2009.

If the charging process encounters a fail condition, the CHARGE LED will turn steadily red.

NOTE: If the GX-2009 is left in the SDM-2009 after bump testing or calibration,

the pump will run for 12 seconds every 2 minutes in order to keep hydrogen gener ated from cha rging of t he NiMH ba tteries from aff ecting the CO sensor.

5. When the charge is complete, the CHARGE status LED will turn solid green.

Calibration and Bump Test Records

The SDM-2009 saves a record of each bump test and calibration performed. It is capable of saving up to 200 such records. When an SDM-2009’s memory becomes full, the oldest record is overwritten when a new record is saved. The records saved in the SDM-2009’ s me mory can be save d to a USB f lash dri ve us ing th e USB por t on the front.

Avail able Memory in the SDM-2009

The COPY LED indicates how much of the SDM-2009’s memory has been used. The table below describes t he various indications.

Table 6: COPY LED Indications

COPY LED Indication Memory Used

Off None. No records are saved Solid Green Less than 80% of the SDM-2009’s memory

has been used.

Solid Amber More than 80% of the SDM-2009’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-2009 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- 2009’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-2009 to a computer, only to save calibration and bump test records to a USB flash drive.

1. Confirm that the AC Ada pte r is connected to the SDM-2009 and to an AC w al l socket.

2. Press and hold the SDM-2009’s POWER button. The LEDs will turn amber.

3. When th e BUMP T and CAL S 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-2009 will dictate the condition of the COPY LED (see "Available Memory in the SDM-2009" above).

5. Install a USB flash drive into the USB port on the front of the SDM-2009. The

38 • Calibration and Bump Test Records

SDM-2009 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-2009’s m emory, the COPY LED will alte rnate betwee n green and red. Enough memory will have to be cleared in the flash drive to make room for the records in the SDM-2009’s memory.

• If there is enough available m emory in the flash drive f or the content s of the

SDM-2009’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 returns to its orig inal color and begi ns blinking again 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" below for a discussi on of th ese fi les and how to use them.

Clearing the SDM-2009’s Memory

Make sure that you save the bump test and calibration records in the SDM-2009’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 . A fte r the SDM -2009’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-2009” and the remainder of the file name will depend on the serial number of the SDM-2009 used and the date of the most recent bump test or calibration performed on the SDM-2009. So it is possible to have multiple files in the DAT fold er from the SDM-2009.

Calibration and Bump Test Records • 3 9

The files that an SDM-2009 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 43 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-2009 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-2009’s memory is cleared, then addition al bump tests or calibrations are performed, a nd an oth er co py operation is performed with the sam e 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 performing bump tests or calibrations and copying an SDM-2009’s

memory to a flash drive multiple times during the same day and the SDM-2009’s memor y is cleared, transfer the calibration/bump test record files from t he fl ash dri ve to a com puter hard d rive or som e oth er memory device before performing ano ther copy oper ation to avoid loss of data.
