the inlet fitting, and then connect the plastic fitting on the end of the straight green tube to the exhaust fitting. If you take more than a few seconds before continuing, the CHARGE LED may begin blinking yellow indicating that the calibration station is charging the battery pack in the instrument if the instrument has a battery pack whose charge is low enough. 5. Turn on the instrument.
• Apply fresh air to the instrument for 30 seconds. • Perform a zero operation on the instrument. NOTE: If one or more of the sensors fails the zero operation, then the calibration station will abort the bump test and will not apply calibration gas. If this happens, the CAL. status LED will blink red indicating a failure and the BUMP control LED will stop blinking and be on steadily green. • Apply calibration gas to the instrument for the time defined by the MODE Switch setting.
CAUTION: When using the GX-2001 with the SM-2001U or the GX-2003 with the SM-2003U, do not turn off the instrument using the instrument power switch. Use the BUMP and VOL. control buttons on the calibration station to turn off the instrument. 14. Remove the instrument from the calibration station. Calibrating Instruments The SM-2001U and SM-2003U calibration stations are capable of performing a calibration on an instrument that is connected to it.
4. Turn on the instrument. • 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 calibration station: PC TRANSMIT STAND BY OK 21:09 If LB Mode is activated on a GX-2003, press the POWER ENTER button as soon as the unit turns on to avoid waiting 20 seconds for the unit to time out of the Mode Select screen to begin its startup sequence.
NOTE: If one or more of the sensors fails the zero operation, then the calibration station will abort the calibration and will not apply calibration gas. If this happens, the CAL. status LED will blink red indicating a failure and the CAL. control LED will stop blinking and be on steadily green. • Apply calibration gas to the instrument for 90 seconds. • Purge the system with fresh air for 30 seconds. 8. After the system is purged, the CAL.
Bump Testing and Calibrating a GX-2003 with 100% Volume Methane The GX-2003 can have a %volume methane detector installed. This detector cannot be bump tested or calibrated using the typical gas mix that is used for the other detectors. To accommodate this special need, the SM-2003U includes the VOL. control button. This button activates the %volume gas function.
the back of the station. The CHARGE status LED will begin to blink green. 4. Put the GX-2003 to be bump tested or calibrated into the SM2003U, connect the plastic fitting on the end of the coiled black tube to the inlet fitting, and then connect the plastic fitting on the end of the straight green tube to the exhaust fitting.
following functions: • It will apply fresh air to the instrument for 30 seconds. • It will perform a zero operation on the GX-2003. NOTE: If the %volume methane detector fails the zero operation, then the calibration station will abort the bump test or calibration and will not apply calibration gas. If this happens, the CAL. status LED will blink red indicating a failure and the CAL. control LED will stop blinking and be on steadily green.
CAUTION: When using the GX-2001 with the SM-2001U or the GX-2003 with the SM-2003U, do not turn off the instrument using the instrument power switch. Use the BUMP and VOL. control buttons on the calibration station to turn off the instrument. 15. Remove the instrument from the SM-2003U. Charging an Instrument in a Calibration Station The SM-2001U and SM-2003U calibration stations can be used to charge the rechargeable battery pack in a GX-2001 or GX-2003.
4. If the battery pack is fully charged, then the CHARGE status LED will turn solid green in a few minutes. If the battery pack is drained enough for the calibration station to charge it, the CHARGE status LED will continue to blink yellow while charging is taking place. Both the GX-2001 and GX-2003 will take approximately 90 minutes to fully charge. 5. When the charge is complete, the CHARGE status LED will turn solid green.
Calibration and Bump Test Records The SM-2001U and SM-2003U save a record of each bump test and calibration performed. The calibration stations are capable of saving up to 200 such records. When a calibration station’s memory becomes full, the oldest record is overwritten when a new record is saved. These saved records can be saved to a USB flash drive using the USB port.
Copying Calibration and Bump Test Records to a USB Flash Drive The calibration station will only perform a copy operation if there is at least one record saved in it’s memory. If there are no records saved in the station’s memory, the COPY LED will be off and the COPY button will not function. Do the following to save calibration and bump test records in the calibration station’s memory to a USB flash drive. 1. If the calibration station is off, turn it on using the power switch on the back of the station.
4. Wait until the flash drive’s LED stops blinking, then remove the flash drive from the USB port. NOTE: If you pull out the flash drive while it’s LED is still blinking, the file saved in the flash drive with the calibration and bump test records may be incomplete. 5. If the flash drive has not already been used with a calibration station, a folder named DAT will be created on the flash drive and a file with all the saved calibration and bump test records will be saved to this folder.
Bump Testing or Calibrating and Saving Files To a Flash Drive Multiple Times In One Day The SM-2001U and SM-2003U assign file names to calibration and bump test record files based on the day of the most recent calibration or bump test record saved in the calibration station’s memory.
Chapter 5: Single Module Data Viewer Software Overview The Single Module Data Viewer Software is used to view, organize, and print bump test and calibration records that were created by the SM2001U and SM-2003U.
