Hardware Setup
This section describes how to assemble the hardware that came with the SDM-2012,
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-GX Docking Station PC Controller software can support
1-10 SDM-2012 docking stations connected at the same time. Perform the following
steps to complete the hardware assembly for each SDM-2012:
1. Place the SDM-2012(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-2012, arrange them side by side as shown in
Figure 13 below. Each docking station has three connection tabs on the left
side near the bottom of the station and three connection recesses on the right
side near the bottom of the station. The tabs from one docking station can be
pushed into the recesses on another station to mechanically connect the
docking stations.
3. Insert the round plug on the end of each AC adapter’s cable into the power
jack on the back of each SDM-2012.
NOTE: If you have multiple SDM-2012s 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-2012s.
4. Connect the AC adapter’s wall plug into a wall AC socket or power strip.
5. Install the exhaust line, a clear 12 inch long tube with a black plastic push-on
