Chapter 1: Introduction
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.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to set up and use the SDM-2009 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-2009 for use
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
use the SDM-2009 to charge an instrument

Air Filter and Sample Tubing
A cylindrical particle filter with a short length of tubing is supplied with the SDM-2009 for installation to the AIR fitting on the back panel. The filter keeps particulate contamination out of the docking station.
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-2009. 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.

restriction caused by a longer tube may affect gas response and cause inaccurate calibration and bump test results.
A check valve is included with the SDM-2009 but is not needed for the Standalone configuration. It is used for the PC Controlled configuration.
Two T-fittings are included with the SDM-2009. 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 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
Three sample fittings are located on the back of the SDM-2009. The AIR fitting is in the upper left corner and draws air into the SDM-2009. The GAS fitting is to the right of the AIR fitting and is used to connect the SDM-2009 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-2009’s back panel. It is only used for the PC Controlled conf iguration and is not used in the Standalone configuratio n.

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.
