Chapter 3: Preparing to Use the SDM-2012
Overview
There are four tasks that must be completed before you can begin to use the
SDM-2012: 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-2012, 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-2012 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-2012.
NOTE: If you have multiple SDM-2012s and are using a 3-port AC adapter,
plug each of the round plugs on the end of the AC adapter into the
power jack on the back of 3 separate SDM-2012s.
4. Install the exhaust line, a clear 12 inch long tube with a black plastic push-on
fitting, by pushing the open end of the exhaust tube onto the exhaust line
connection fitting located in the upper left corner of the instrument panel. You
may then push the black push on fitting of the exhaust line onto the exhaust
line storage fitting on the other side of the instrument panel.
