RKI Instruments SDM-E2 - Manual (Page 12)

7 • Description
A check valve is included with the SDM-E2. It is intended for use on the exhaust
fitting when manifolding multiple docking stations together. See “Assembling a
Manifold for Multiple SDM-E2 Units” on page 12 for manifolding instructions.
Instrument Panel
The instrument panel is located on the top of the SDM-E2 and includes the
instrument cradle, the exhaust bellow, the IR port, the charging cord, and a recess for
the fitting at the end of the gas out to EAGLE 2 line. The instrument cradle is a
recessed area on the top of the SDM-E2 that is designed to accept the EAGLE 2.
Insert the EAGLE 2 in the instrument cradle before you perform a bump test,
calibrate, or charge an EAGLE 2. The exhaust bellow is at the back of the instrument
panel and must line up with the exhaust port on the EAGLE 2 when it is in the cradle.
The instrument panel also has a protective metal loop to protect the exhaust bellow
and to prevent the EAGLE 2 from being accidentally dislodged from the cradle.
Follow the instructions in this manual and at the center of the instrument cradle for
installing the EAGLE 2 in the cradle to avoid damaging the exhaust bellow. An
infrared (IR) port at the rear of the panel lines up with the EAGLE 2’s IR port when it is
inserted in the cradle and is used to communicate with the EAGLE 2. The charging
cord and the fitting at the end of the gas out to EAGLE 2 line are stored in the
instrument panel.
