Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
This chapter briefly describes the SM-2009U Single Module Calibration
Station and the Single Module Data View Software. This chapter also
describes the SM-2009U Single Module Calibrat ion Station Operator’s
Manual (this document). Table 1 at the end of this chapter lists the
SM-2009U’s specifications.
About the SM-2009U
The SM-2009U Single Module Calibration Station is an advanced,
reliable system that provides charging, calibration, bump testing, and
calibration and bump test records for the GX-2009 gas detect or. It is
designed to save the records to a USB flash drive. The Single Module
Data Viewer Software 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.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to set up and use the SM2009U and the Single Module Data Viewer Software. You will learn how
to:
• install and launch the software
• prepare the SM-2009U 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 reco rds
• use the SM-2009U to charge a GX-2009

Chapter 2: Description
Overview
This section describes the SM-2009U single module calibration station. It
is designed to be used on a table top and consist s of the AC adaptor, air
filter and sample tubing, instrument cradle, back panel, control panel,
status LEDs, and USB port.
AC Adapter
The AC adapter is a wall plug style adapter with a 5 foot cable. The end
of the cable has a plug that connects to the power jack on the SM2009U’s back pan el. The AC adapter is rated 100 - 240 VAC input, 12
VDC 1.2 A output.

Air Filter & Sample Tubing
A cylindrical particle filter with a short length of tubing is supplied wi th the
SM-2009U for installation to the AIR fit ting on the back panel. The filter
keeps particulate contamination out of the calibration station.
Two sample tubes are included with the calibration station. A 3 foot
length of 3/16” ID polyurethane tubing is provided to connect the
regulator on a calibration cylinder to the CAL. GAS fitting on the back
panel. A 10 foot length of 5/16” ID polyurethane tubing is provided for
connection to the exhaust fitting on the b ack panel to allow routing of the
exhaust to a location such as open window where the exhaust can
disperse.

WARNING: Do not use an exhaust tube that is longer than 10 feet.
Using an exhaust tube longer than 10 feet will cause
inaccurate gas response by the GX-2009 during a bump
test or calibration.
6 • Air Filter & Sample Tubing
Instrument Cradle
The instrument cradle is a recessed area on the top of the SM-2009 that
is designed to accept the GX-2009. Insert the GX-2009 in the inst rumen t
cradle when you perform a bump test or calibration. The cradle has
charging contacts on the bottom that mate with the contacts on the back
of the GX-2009. There are sample ports in the front of the cradle that
match up with the GX-2009’ s sensors and route air and calibration gas to
the sensors during a bump test or calibration. An infrared (IR) por t at the
back of the cradle lines up with the GX-2009’s IR port when it is inserted
in the cradle and is used to communicate with the GX-2009. A retaining
tab that holds the GX-2009 in the cradle is located to the right of the IR
port.

Sample Fittings
Three sample fittings are located on the back of the SM-2009 U. The AIR
fitting is in the upper left corner and draws air into the SM-2009U. The
CAL. GAS fitting is next to the AIR fitting and is used to connect the SM2009U to a calibration gas cylinder. Both the AIR and CAL. GAS fittings
accept 3/16” ID tubing.
An exhaust fitting is located in t he up per right corne r of t he ba ck p anel. It
allows routing of the exhausted calibration gas to a convenient location.
This fitting accepts 5/16” ID tubing. Even though the exhaust gas can be
routed to an area to be safely dispersed, the docking station should still
be installed in a well ventilated area.

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.
