to 90 seconds • Set the bump test tolerance for each channel. This option for each channel allows you to set up the criteria for determining if an instrument passes a bump test. The default value for each channel for the allowable deviation for a bump test is 30% of the gas concentration used in the test. These values are adjustable from 20% to 50%. If the result of the bump test for a channel is within the set deviation, then the channel passes the bump test.
Viewing the Pre-Defined Cylinders 1. From the main program window, click the Cylinders button located along the top of the window. The Cylinders window appears. The Cylinders window lists defined cylinders and has four function buttons in the lower right corner of the window for adding, updating, or deleting cylinders. When the software is first loaded, there are two pre-defined cylinders on the list.
Adding and Updating Cylinders Add a cylinder if the correct cylinder for your bump testing and calibration needs is not on the cylinder list. For example, you may have GX-2001’s that are LEL/Oxy/CO and so do not need to use a 4-gas mix that includes H2S. In this case you would add a 3-gas cylinder to the cylinder list with the appropriate gas concentrations. When you begin using a new cylinder that is already on the cylinder list, you will need to update the expiration date of the new cylinder.

• The GAS 1 solenoid which controls the Gas 1 fitting is assigned to Cylinder 0001 which is RKI 4-gas mix 81-00154RK-02. • The GAS 2 solenoid which controls the Gas 2 fitting is assigned to Cylinder 0002 which is RKI 50% volume CH4 cylinder 81-0013RK05. • Solenoids GAS 3, GAS 4, and GAS 5 are unassigned. If you define additional cylinders and wish to assign them to unassigned solenoids or wish to change the solenoid assignments: 1.
Connecting Instruments to the Data Cal 2000 When an instrument is connected to the Data Cal 2000, the software automatically retrieves the instrument’s parameters such as serial number, calibration interval setting, and data logging interval time. It can also automatically download data, bump test, or calibrate an instrument depending on whether these items are selected in the parameter tab of the Configuration window.
NOTE:As soon as a DM-2003 docking module recognizes that a GX-2003 is installed, a solenoid in the DM-2003 that allows the GX-2003 to draw gas is opened. If a GX-2003 is installed in the docking module when the Data Cal 2000 is turned on, it takes the DM-2003 about 5 seconds after turn on to recognize the GX-2003. The solenoid remains open for 3 minutes and is then closed. Turn on all GX-2003’s after this 5 second period and within 3 minutes of the solenoid being opened.
• A GX-2003 will begin its normal startup sequence and after a few seconds, the pump will turn off and the display will indicate it is ready to communicate with the computer: PC TRANSMIT STAND BY OK 21:09 • A GX-2001 will begin its normal startup sequence and after a second or two the display will indicate the following: Conn 7.
