Hardware Setup
This section describes how to assemble the hardware that came with the SDM-E2,
assemble a manifold, and connect calibration gas.
Hardware Assembly
The hardware assembly consists of connecting the AC adapter(s), installing the air
filter(s), installing the check valve(s), connecting the sample tubing and connecting
the USB cable(s). The SDM Docking Station PC Controller software can support 1-10
SDM-E2 docking stations connected at the same time. Perform the following steps to
complete the hardware assembly for each SDM-E2:
1. Place the SDM-E2(s) on a convenient table top near an AC wall socket or
power strip 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. If you have more than one SDM-E2, arrange them side by side as shown in
Figure 10 below.
3. Insert the round plug on the end of each AC adapter’s cable into the power
jack on the back of each SDM-E2.
NOTE: If you have multiple SDM-E2s 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-E2s.
4. Connect the AC adapter’s wall plug into a wall AC socket or power strip.
5. Install the air filter to the AIR fitting of each SDM-E2 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-E2.
