Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
This chapter briefly describes the SM-2009U Single Module Calibration
Station and the Single Module Data View Software. This chapter also
describes the SM-2009U Single Module Calibration Station Operator’s
Manual (this document). Table 1 at the end of this chapter lists the
SM-2009U’s specifications.
About the SM-2009U
The SM-2009U Single Module Calibration Station is an advanced,
reliable system that provides charging, calibration, bump testing, and
calibration and bump test records for the GX-2009 gas detector. It is
designed to save the records to a USB flash drive. The Single Module
Data Viewer Software can then be used with a Windows-based personal
computer to retrieve calibration and bump test data files from the USB
flash drive or from the computer’s hard drive if the files have been
transferred to the hard drive from the flash drive.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to set up and use the SM-
2009U and the Single Module Data Viewer Software. You will learn how
to:
• install and launch the software
• prepare the SM-2009U for use
• perform a bump test
• perform a calibration
• save calibration and bump test records to a USB flash drive
• view, print, and export calibration and bump test records
• use the SM-2009U to charge a GX-2009
2 • System Requirements
CAUTION: The GX-2009 detects oxygen deficiency and elevated levels
of oxygen, combustible gases, carbon monoxide, and
hydrogen sulfide, all of which can be dangerous or life
threatening. When using the GX-2009, you must follow the
instructions and warnings in the GX-2009 Operator’s Manual
to assure proper and safe operation of the unit and to
minimize the risk of personal injury.
CAUTION: The operator of this instrument is advised that if the
equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Chapter 2: Description
Overview
This section describes the SM-2009U single module calibration station. It
is designed to be used on a table top and consists of the AC adaptor, air
filter and sample tubing, instrument cradle, back panel, control panel,
status LEDs, and USB port.
AC Adapter
The AC adapter is a wall plug style adapter with a 5 foot cable. The end
of the cable has a plug that connects to the power jack on the SM-
2009U’s back panel. The AC adapter is rated 100 - 240 VAC input, 12
VDC 1.2 A output.
Air Filter & Sample Tubing
A cylindrical particle filter with a short length of tubing is supplied with the
SM-2009U for installation to the AIR fitting on the back panel. The filter
keeps particulate contamination out of the calibration station.
Two sample tubes are included with the calibration station. A 3 foot
length of 3/16” ID polyurethane tubing is provided to connect the
regulator on a calibration cylinder to the CAL. GAS fitting on the back
panel. A 10 foot length of 5/16” ID polyurethane tubing is provided for
connection to the exhaust fitting on the back panel to allow routing of the
exhaust to a location such as open window where the exhaust can
disperse.

WARNING: Do not use an exhaust tube that is longer than 10 feet.
Using an exhaust tube longer than 10 feet will cause
inaccurate gas response by the GX-2009 during a bump
test or calibration.
