automatically turn the instrument off 10 minutes after the last button push.
To turn off the GX-6000 before it is automatically turned off, press the Detector
Off button in the lower left corner of the station’s Unit Tab. If you have a multi-
station installation, only the master (leftmost) station will have a Unit Tab. The
slave stations will only have a main screen and the Detector Off button will be
displayed in the lower left corner.
22 . The results of the bump test and calibration (if applicable) will be stored in the
SDM-6000’s SD card.
23 . Push the red gas in/gas out cover toward the GX-6000 and then release it. It
should return to its unused state at the top of the SDM-6000.
24 . Remove the GX-6000 from the SDM-6000.
25 . Repeat step 21 - step 24 for any additional GX-6000s.
Calibration
When a calibration is performed, the docking station performs a fresh air adjustment
on a GX-6000 and then applies calibration gas to the instrument. The docking station
analyzes the calibration results and determines if the instrument passed the
calibration.
Be sure that you have the required calibration cylinders for your sensors. If you are
using a 5-gas cylinder for a special sensor, be sure that the gas inlet parameters are
appropriately assigned as described in “Inlet Parameters” on page 47.
NOTE:
If you wish to calibrate only the standard four sensors or only the smart
sensors, be sure that the Gas Inlet Parameters are set appropriately as
described in “Inlet Parameters” on page 47.
To perform a calibration on a GX-6000:
1 . Turn on the SDM-6000 system as described in “Turning on a SDM-6000
2 . Confirm that you have an SD card installed in the system.
NOTE:
If an SD card is not installed, then test data and instrument data logger
data downloaded manually or automatically cannot be saved.
3 . If necessary, confirm that the calibration parameters are set to the desired
values. See “Calibration Parameters” on page 44.
4 . If a connected GX-6000’s channels does not have an assigned gas inlet or if
the gas inlet setup is not correct, a gas inlet error will occur. A calibration can
still be initiated but the incorrectly set up channel will not be calibrated.
5 . If you have a multi-station system and a slave station is turned on but you do
not want it to be included in the testing, deselect the Active box in the lower
