Chapter 3: Preparing to Use the SM-2009U

Overview

There are four tasks t hat must be completed befo re you ca n begin to use
the SM-2009U: hardware assembly, setting the bump test and calibration
parameters, connecting calibration gas, and installing the Single Module
Data View Software on your computer. This chapter describes how to
assemble the parts that are shipped with the SM-2009U and set 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, connecting the sample tubing, and setting the SM-20090U’s
bump test and calibration parameter s. Perform the following to complete
the hardware assembly

1. Place the SM-2009U 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. Insert the round plug on the end of the AC adapter’s cable into the
power jack on the back of the SM-2009U.

3. Connect the AC adapter’s wall plug into a wall AC socket.

4. Install the air filter so that the arrow on the filter that indicates
direction of flow is pointing towards the AIR fitt i ng. Push the open
end of the flexible tube that is on one end the filter onto the AIR
fitting on the back of the SM-2009U.

5. Install the 10 foot long 5/16” ID flexible tube that is included with
the SM-2009U on the exhaust fitting. Route the tube to an area
where the exhaust can be safely dispersed, such as an open
window.

12 • Overview

CAUTION: The maximum recommended length for the exhaust tube is

10 feet. Do not use more than 10 f eet of tubing or tubing with
an ID of less tha n 5/16” for the exhaust tube or t he bump test
and calibration accuracy will be adversely affected. The tube
that is shipped with the SM-2009U has an ID of 5/16” and is
10 feet long.

6. Install the 3 foot long 3/16” ID tube that is included with the
SM-2009U on the CAL. GAS fitting.

Setting the Bump Test and Calibration
Parameters

The bump test parameters def ine 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 a unit fails or passes a bump test
and whether or not a calibration automatically takes place if a bump test
fails. The calibration parameters defi ne 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 SM-2009U’s
memory. If a paramete r is changed with one particular GX-2009 installed
in the SM-2009U, the change will be in effect for the bump test or
calibration of any subsequent GX-2009 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 t o use the factory settings,
then you do not n eed to make any parameter adjustments. If you wish to
confirm or change the parameter settings, follow the instructions below
beginning with “Turning On the SM-2009U with a GX-2009” on page 15.

Air Sample Time (Air)

The air sample time can be set separately for bump testing and
calibration. It is the length of time that a SM-2009U will draw air through
the AIR fitting on the back of the stat ion. Air is drawn during a bump test
before an air adjust operation and to purge calibration gas from the
system after calibration gas has be en drawn through the CAL. GAS fitti ng
on the back of the stati on.

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 a SM-2009U will draw

14 • Setting the Bump Test and Calibration Parameters

calibration gas through the CAL. GAS fitting on the back of the station
during a bump test.

Bump Test Check Tolerance (cHE)

The bump test check tolerance only applies to bump testing. It
determines how close the GX-2009 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 t hat the GX-2009 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
GX-2009 must be 50 %LEL ± 25 %LEL.

Automatic Calibration (cAL)

Automatic calibration only applies to bump testing. It is set to on or off. If
it is set to on, then the calibration station will automatically perform a cal­ibration if a bump te st fails.

Turning On the SM-2009U with a GX-2009

Do the following to turn on the SM-2009U and establish a connection
with a GX-2009:

1. Confirm that the AC Adapter is connected to the SM-2009U and to
an AC wall socket.

2. Press and hold the SM-2009U’ s POWER button. The LEDs will turn
amber the internal pump will turn on momentarily.

3. When the pump stops and the BUMP and CAL. LEDs turn off,

Connecting Calibration Gas

The CAL. GAS fitting on the back of the calibration 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 calibration station will generally be in a fresh air area.

The type of calibration gas cylinder used depends on the gas sensors
installed in the GX-2009 being used with the 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 uni t. If the instrume nt does not have an H2S
channel, then a 3-gas mix, LEL/Oxygen/CO, is used. Although a 4-gas
cylinder will work for an instrument of any gas combination, if you have
multiple instruments with various gas combinations, you may want to
keep a 4-gas cylinder and a 3-gas cylinder to help preserve the charcoal
filter on the CO sensor in instruments without an H2S cha nnel. Use
Table 4 below as a guide in determining which calibration gas cylinder is
appropriate for your system. See “Spare Parts List” on page 50 for a list
of available cylinder part numbers.

To connect calibration gas to the SM-2009U do the following:

1. If the area around the calibration station is not considered a fresh
air area (an area free of combusti ble and toxic gases and of normal
oxygen content, 20.9%) install a t ube not longer than 10 feet on t he
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 fitting.

2. Install the demand flow regulator on the calibration gas cylinder.

3. Connect the demand flow regulator to the CAL. GAS port using the
3 foot length of 3/16” ID sample tubing provided with the station.

Chapter 4: Using the SM-2009U

Overview

When you have completed the tasks in "Chapter 3: Preparing to Use the
SM-2009U", you are ready to use the SM-2009U calibration station. The
SM-2009U is capable of performing bump tests and calibrations on the
GX-2009. It can also charge the rechargeable batt eries in the GX-2009.
This chapter describes procedures for using the calibratio n station to
bump test, calibrate, and recharge GX-2009s. It also describes the
information that is saved in a calibration st ation’s memory and how to
save that information to a USB flash drive.

Bump Testing Instruments

When a bump test is performed, the SM-2009U performs a fresh air
adjustment on a GX-2009 and then applies calibration gas to the
instrument. The 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 SM-2009U will
automatically perform a calibration if the bump test fails.

Do the following to perform a b um p te st

1. Confirm that the AC Adapter is connected to the SM-2009U and to
an AC wall socket.

2. Press and hold the SM-2009U’ s POWER button. The LEDs will turn
amber the internal pump will turn on momentarily.

3. When the pump stops and 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 SM-2009U is operating properly or solid red
if these is a system failure. The amount of free memory in the SM­2009U will dictate the condition of the COPY LED (see “Available
Memory in the SM-2009U” on page 37).

5. Install a GX-2009 in the instrument cradle. The CHARGE LED will

CHARGE LED will become solid green after about 5 minutes.
Typically a bump test or calibration will be initiated before this
happens. See “Charging an Instrument in a Calibration Station” on
page 35 for a complete description of charging the GX-2009.

NOTE: If the GX-2009 is left in the SM-2009U after calibration or

bump testing, the pump will run for 12 seconds every 2
minutes in order to keep hydrogen generated from charging
of the NiMH batteries from affecting 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-2 009 will begin it ’s power
up sequence (see exceptions below in step 7). If a successful
connection between the GX-2009 and the SM-2009U occurs, the
TRANSMIT screen will appear on the GX-2009 display and the
CHARGE LED will begin to blink green.

Charging an Instrument in a
Calibration Station

The SM-2009U can be used to charge the rechargeable batteries in a
GX-2009. To maximize the GX-2009’ s run time an d the ba ttery life, make
sure the batteries’ charge is as low as possible before recharging it. 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 function.

To recharge the battery pack in an instrument after performing a bump
test or calibration:

1. Perform a bump test or calibration on an instrument as described in
“Bump Testing Instruments” on page 25 or “Calibrating
Instruments” on pa ge 31.

2. After the bump test or calibration has been completed, turn off the

Charging an Instrument in a Calibration Station • 35

instrument by pressing and holding the EDIT ENTER and POWER
buttons simultaneously for at least one second and the n releasing
them. If no buttons are pressed for 10 minutes, the calibration
station will automatically turn off the instrument.

3. After a few seconds, the CHARGE LED will start blinking yellow.
The BUMP and/or CAL. LED will continue to be either green or red
depending on the result of the bump test or calibration.

4. If the battery pack is fully charged, then the CHARGE status LED
will turn solid green in a few minutes.

If the battery pack is drained enough for the calibration station to
charge it, the CHARGE LED will continue to blink yellow while
charging is taking place. The SM-2009U will take approximately 3
hours to charge a fully discharged GX-2009.

NOTE: If the GX-2009 is left in the SM-2009U after calibration or

bump testing, the pump will run for 12 seconds every 2
minutes in order to keep hydrogen generated from charging
of the NiMH batteries from affecting the CO sensor.

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

full. A newly saved record will over­write the oldest one.

Copying Calibration and Bump Test Records to a USB
Flash Drive

The SM-2009U will only perform a copy operation if there is at least one
record saved in it’ s me mory. If there are no records saved in t he st a tion’s
memory , the COPY LED will be off and t he COPY button will not function.
Do the following to save calibration and bum p test reco r ds in the
SM-2009U’s memory to a USB flash drive.

Calibration and Bump Test Records • 3 7

NOTE: The USB port on the front of the calibration station cannot be

used to connect the SM-2009U 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 SM-2009U and to
an AC wall socket.

2. Press and hold the SM-2009U’ s POWER button. The LEDs will turn
amber and the internal pump will turn on momentarily.

3. When the pump stops and 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 fr ee memory in the SM-2009U will
dictate the condition of the COPY LED (see “ Available Memory in
the SM-2009U” on page 37).

5. Install a USB flash drive into the USB port on the front of the SM­2009U. The SM-2009U will take a few seconds to determine how
much memory is available in the flash drive.

• If the flash drive’s available memory it is not enough for the

contents of the SM-2009U’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
SM-2009U’s memory.

• If there is enough available memory in the flash drive for the

contents of the SM-2009U’s memory, the COPY LED will begin
flashing in the same color that it was before installing the flash
drive.

6. Press and release the COPY button. The COPY LED will become
solid red while the records in the calibration station’s memory are
copied to the flash drive. In addition , the flash drive’s LED will be gin
to blink.

7. When the COPY LED returns to its original color and begins
blinking again and the flash drive’s LED stops blinking, the copy
operation is complete. Remove the flash drive from the USB port.

38 • Calibration and Bump Test Records

NOTE: If you pull out the flash drive while it’s LED is still bl inking 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 calibration
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 b een used before wit h a calibration st ation, 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 the next section, "Bump Test and
Calibration Record Files", for a discussion of these files and how t o
use them.

Clearing the SM-2009U’s Memory

Make sure that you save th e bump test and calibrat ion records in the SM­2009U’s memory to a flash drive before clearing its memory. The calibra­tion station’s memory can be cleared by simultaneously pressing and
holding the CAL. ▲ and COPY buttons for five seconds.

Bump Test and Calibration Record Files

Each time a copy function is performed, a file is sa ved to the fl ash drive in
the DAT folder. The file name will begin with “SM-2009” and the
remainder of the file name will depend on the serial number of the SM­2009U used and the date of the most recent bump test or calibration
performed on the SM-2009U. So it is possible to have multiple files in the
DAT folder from the SM-2009U.

The files that an SM-2009U 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 43 for instructions to add files to the database.

Calibration and Bump Test Records • 3 9

Bump Testing or Calibrating and Saving Files To a Flash
Drive Multiple Times In One Day

The SM-2009U 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 calibration station’s memory. If a copy operation is
performed, 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 t he first copy operation
will be overwritten by the file from the second copy operation because it’s
name will be the same as the new file. In this case, no information is lost
since the second file saved to the flas h drive includes a ll t he records t hat
were in the first file.

However, if a copy operation is performed, the SM-2009U’s mem ory is
cleared, 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 SM-2009U’s memory to a flash drive multiple

times during the same day and the SM-2009U’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 operation to
avoid loss of information.
