185 • Bump Testing Multiple EAGLE 2s with Different Sensor Configura-
Appendix A: Multiple Instrument Configurations
EAGLE 2s with different sensor combinations can be bump tested or calibrated at
once using the PC Controller Program. Be sure that you have set up your docking
station manifold as described in “Assembling a Manifold for Multiple SDM-E2 Units”
on page 12 and that you have read “Instrument Placement for Bump Testing or
Calibration” on page 47.
Bump Testing Multiple EAGLE 2s with
Different Sensor Configurations
Standard EAGLE 2s contain some combination of the standard 4 sensors (catalytic
LEL, O
2
, H
2
S, and CO). Any other sensor that is installed in your EAGLE 2 is
considered a special sensor. A special sensor is a PID, TC, IR, or ESM-01 sensor. In
the examples that follow, three EAGLE 2s with multiple configurations are described.
One is a standard 4-gas plus NH
3
, one is a standard 4-gas plus PID, and the last is a
standard 4-gas plus TC. For instructions to bump test a standard EAGLE 2, see
“Bump Testing Standard 4-Gas Instrument(s)” on page 50. For instructions to bump
test multiple EAGLE 2s with the same special sensor configuration, see “Bump
Testing an Instrument with Special Sensors” on page 71.
The PC Controller Program is capable of performing a bump test both manually and
automatically when an EAGLE 2 is connected to it. When a bump test is performed,
the PC Controller Program performs an air adjust operation on an EAGLE 2 and then
applies calibration gas to the instrument. The program analyzes the response results
based on predefined criteria and determines if the EAGLE 2 passed the bump test.
The criteria that the PC Controller Program uses to determine if the EAGLE 2 passes
a bump test, whether the Bump Test button is active, and whether or not the PC
Controller Program automatically performs a bump test if it is due on a connected
EAGLE 2 is defined in the Parameter tab of the Configuration Window. See "Setting
Up the Configuration" step 9 on page 33 for a description of the bump test
configuration setup.
To manually bump test multiple instruments with different sensor configurations:
1. Establish a connection between the SDM-E2, EAGLE 2 and the PC Controller
program as described in “Connecting Instruments to the PC Controller
Program” on page 40.
WARNING: Do not plug the charger cable into a battery pack that contains alkaline
batteries. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries.
2. Verify that all of the bump test parameters are set correctly. See “Setting Up
the Configuration” on page 30 for instructions.
3. Verify that the appropriate calibration gas cylinder(s) are connected to the
appropriate SDM-E2(s) or manifold line(s).
4. Ensure that the gas out to EAGLE 2 line is connected to the inlet of the EAGLE
2.
