Section 1 Introduction
Users can easily perform gas dilution, ozone, and GPT
calibrations with Sabio Instruments Inc.'s intelligent Model
2010D gas dilution calibrator. The Model 2010D was designed to
set a new government and industry standard of quality and
performance for gas calibrations. Enhanced with the latest
technology, Sabio's Model 2010D Gas Dilution Calibrator is an
uncomplicated and effective way to precisely control the
dilution of gas standards for calibration of ambient air and
source monitoring analyzers.
An easy-to-read display, with touch panel operation, userfriendly menu software and sturdy hardware amenities make the
Model 2010D both highly practical and easy to operate. Each
Model 2010D component was selected or designed with great care to
meet Sabio's quality performance standards and government
environmental agency goals and requirements.
User Benefits
Quality Construction. Sabio selected very high quality, inert valves
for the source, permeation and dilution streams. The source and
permeation oven valves wetted surfaces are manufactured with inert
materials. To ensure the manifolds do not react with the gases, the
manifolds are made of inert materials. Sabio minimized dead space
in the valves and manifolds to assure fast rise times. A source
purge-valve is standard for sweeping trapped gas out of the source
manifold. Static mixers enhance homogeneous blending of diluent and
source gases and the reaction chamber meets EPA requirements.
Mass-flow controllers precisely meter all gas streams.
Modern technology means precision calibration. In combining superior
software, components and materials, Sabio's Model 2010D is
setting a new benchmark for precisely diluting gas standards.
Elemental design means no lengthy training period required. The design of
the Model calibrator makes it easy for non-technical personnel with
little or no specialized training to perform precise calibrations
of gas analyzers.
Introduction Page 1-

_________________________________________________________________
A complete calibration system. The Model 2010D Calibration System
makes use of embedded microprocessor technology to enhance the
accuracy and control features of the calibration system. The
Model 2010D is designed to be used manually, automatically or
semi-automatically by remote control to conduct calibrations.
The unit features an optional internal ozone generator. An
optional permeation oven and UV absorption photometer are also
available.
Versatile programming options. The calibrator has the capability to
produce and store in memory 20 calibration sequences, with up to 20
levels of source/dilution in each sequence. Users employ the front
panel membrane keypad or serial port to input calibration parameters.
A bright, easy-to-read, 25-line x 80-character display shows
calibration and system configuration information.
Additional features include continually updated display of dilution
and source information, local and remote calibration control,
eight-port output manifold with port connections for up to seven gas
analyzers, and portable and 19-inch rack mounting options.
The Model 2010D's precision ozone generator is suitable for use
as a transfer standard for ozone calibrations or can be used for
performing nitrogen dioxide calibrations by means of gas phase
titration (GPT). The ozone generator eliminates the need for an
additional ozone transfer standard to conduct audits or perform
calibrations.
The Model 2010D's ozone generator's advanced electronic
circuitry and propriety photo detector enable the ozone
generator output to be so stable and accurate that the need for
a photometer is eliminated.
The internal UV absorption photometer option is a complete UV ozone
analyzer that can be used independently for monitoring ozone
production.
The Model 2010D external permeation oven option is an effective
tool for generating precise gas concentrations for calibrating a
wide range of gas analyzers. The large oven capacity
accommodates many types and sizes of permeation devices. An
internal clean air supply, precise mass flow controller and
temperature controller ensures a highly accurate gas
concentration process.

verify that all items were received. Retain the original
shipping container for warranty returns.
Temporarily place the unit on a table or counter top in a convenient
spot for easy access to the front control panel. Locate the power
cable and connect it to the rear panel power receptacle. Plug the
other end of the power cable into a suitable AC power outlet.
Start-Up
On most Models of the 2010D, the power switch is located on the
lower right hand corner of the rear panel next to the power cord
inlet connector. Some units may have a power switch located on
the lower right hand corner of the front panel. Depress the
rocker switch to energize the unit.
The display should illuminate in a few seconds and initialization
messages should appear on the display. In approximately one minute
the main menu screen should be displayed.
When under power, the Model 2010D pneumatics and electronics
will begin their warming sequence.
Standby Operation Upon Power Up
Upon application of power to the Model 2010D, the unit defaults
to Standby Mode. In this mode, the Model 2010D is ready to
receive user commands from the front panel or external keyboard,
execute preprogrammed calibration sequences, accept commands from
the RS232 serial communications ports or invoke sequences based
on status information received from the status input/output
ports.
Getting Started Page 2-2
User Interface
After the Model 2010D has finished it's power-up sequence, the
screen shown in Figure 2-1 will be displayed on the 2010D's front
panel. The operation of the Model 2010D is similar to operation
of many popular Windows applications. The front panel touch
buttons are used in conjunction with the display when entering
Model 2010D commands. The touch buttons are active at all times
when the unit is under power. Section 3, "System Operations",
describes in more detail general guidelines for operating the
Model 2010D.

Button Description
Special External Keyboard Factory Test Keys:
--- CAUTION ---
The following special keys are normally used
only at the factory for testing purposes.
Improper use of these functions or leaving
the 2010D is a test mode could result in a
malfunction of the unit.
ALT-Q Quick mode.
This special test mode is used for testing
sequence timing. When in quick mode, each
minute in a sequence is equal to one
second.
ALT-H Fake Hardware.
This special test mode is used at the
factory for software testing. When fake
hardware is selected, the normal 2010D
hardware is bypassed and simulated in
software.
ALT-W Analog input averaging mode. This
function is used for factory testing and
allows four analog input processing
options to be selected:
No Z/S Adjust The automatic zero and span
adjustments are disabled.

Main Screen Layout
The Model 2010D's main screen, displayed after the power up
sequence has been completed, allows operator interaction using a
familiar windows-style interface. Figure 3-2 is an example of
the Main Screen as it would appear when setting the system time
and date.
Figure 3-2 The Main Screen
The main screen consists of four parts: the menu bar at the top,
a status line near the bottom, a function key line at the bottom and
a large central area for displaying windows and screens.
The menu bar at the top supports drop-down menus and sub-menus. To
select
an item, move the selection highlight with the arrow keys to
the item of choice and then press the enter button. The end sequence
(escape) button is used to exit or abort the current operation or
to back up through the menus.
If an external keyboard is used or if the 2010D is being operated
remotely using terminal mode, a quicker way of selecting menu items
is available. Each menu or sub-menu item has a "shortcut" letter
associated with it. By entering the shortcut letter when a menu is
displayed, the associated menu item will be selected. There is no
need to press Enter after a shortcut letter, so entering a string
System Operations Page 3-9
of shortcut letters is a quick way to navigate a menu path.
Since the display does not support gray-scales, the shortcut letters
are not evident from the front panel, but they are usually the first
letter of the menu item. For example, by entering "SE" on an external
keyboard, the Sequence Edit screen will be selected.
When operating the 2010D via a serial port in terminal mode, the
shortcut keys are indicated as a different color, as shown in the
figure below.
Figure 3-3 External Keyboard Shortcuts in Terminal Mode
Near the bottom of the screen, a status line displays information
about the current state of the 2010D. The following information
may be found on the status line:
Time and Date The current time and date is always
displayed at the left side of the status
line. The format in which the date is
displayed may be changed from the Set Time
and Date screen under the System menu.
Status message To the right of the status line, a short
status message may be displayed. This
message might indicate that a certain mode
of operation has been selected or, if a
sequence is active, will indicate the
active sequence name and point.
COM1, COM2 To the right of the status message area,
a COM1 and/or COM2 indicator will appear
when the associated communication port is
active.
System Operations Page 3-10
ALT If the ALT key is pressed on the front
panel, an "ALT" indicator will be shown on
the status line. Pressing buttons on the
front panel while in ALT mode causes the
alternate key definitions (indicated to
the upper left of the key) to be selected.
OVR/INS To the far right of the status line the
"OVR" indicator is usually shown,
indicating that the unit is in overwrite
mode. Pressing the Ins button will change
this indicator to "INS" indicating that
insert mode has been selected.
The bottom line of the screen displays the functions associated with
the seven function keys, F1 through F7.
The remaining portion of the screen is used to display menus setup
screens and system status information.
A screen saver program will blank the screen if there is no user input
from the keypad/keyboard or serial communications ports. To bring
the screen back, press the sun button.
Main Menu Topics
The current Menu is broken up into seven main topics: Sequences,
Gases, System, Devices, Comm, Status and Diag. A brief description
of
each main menu item follows. Note the underlined letter in each
menu name, which represents the shortcut key that is available when
using an external keyboard.
System Operations Page 3-11
Sequences The Sequences menu item invokes screens
for defining, editing, viewing, deleting,
running and aborting calibration
sequences.
Gases The Gases menu item invokes screens to
define gas table items, gas standards and
assign gas standards to ports. Screens
are provided for defining, editing,
viewing, and deleting these items.
System The System menu is used to set-up system
parameters, set the clock, restart the
program and exit to the DOS operating
system.
Devices The dilution unit, ozone generator and the
optional perm oven and photometer are
covered under the Devices topic.
Options, parameters, and calibration
routines are provided for these devices.
Comm The Communications topic is used to
configure the serial communications ports
for remote terminal communications or
command mode operation.
Status The Status option is used to display status
information for the system when it is idle
or while calibration routines are running.
Diag System diagnostic routines are made
available by the Diag menu option.
Using the 2010D Screens
Most menu selections result in a screen being activated.
Several types of screens may be displayed while operating the
2010D:
Error Popup If an error occurs while operating the 2010D, an
Error Popup containing the error message will be
displayed. The Error Popup will prevent any other
actions until it is acknowledged by pressing the
Enter button.
System Operations Page 3-12
Confirmation Sometimes, when a critical operation is performed,
Popup
the 2010D will pop up a box asking if the user
really wants to do that. For example, when the End
Sequence button is pressed after something has been
changed in an Edit Screen, the following box will be
popped up:
Confirmation Popups remain active, preventing any other
actions, until the user responds by positioning the
highlight over the appropriate response and pressing
Enter. If an external keyboard is being used, the user
can respond simply by pressing "Y" or "N". Pressing End
Sequence causes the Confirmation Popup to disappear,
returning the user to the original screen without
changing anything.
View Screen Some screens are displayed for informational purposes
only. View Screens generally allow configuration
information to be viewed, but don't allow the contents
to be altered. View Screens may be removed by pressing
the End Sequence key.
Status Screen Status Screens contain information about the current
operation of the 2010D. Information presented in
these screens is updated each second. Status Screens
are removed by pressing the End Sequence key.
Edit Screen Edit screens allow the user to enter or change
information. Pressing Escape after making a change to
an Edit Screen will cause a Confirmation Popup to
appear, asking if the screen should be saved.
Edit Screens
Edit screens are the main mechanism by which a user configures
the 2010D. These screens are usually called up by selecting
menu items associated with setup functions and contain one or
more "fields" for entering or changing data.
Using Edit screens is very simple. Usually, the F2 (Shift-TAB) and
F3 (TAB) keys are used to move the cursor to the field that contains
the data to be entered or changed. Alternatively, the Enter button
