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 consists of connecting the AC adapter, installing the air 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 window.
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 the 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 the AIR fitting. Push the open end of the flexible 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 SDM-
2009 onto the exhaust fitting located in the upper left corner of the back panel.
Route the tube to an area where the exhaust can be safely dispersed, such as
an open window.
CAUTION:
The maximum recommended length for the exhaust 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.
