Instrument Cradle
The instrument cradle is a recessed area in the middle of the SDM-6000 that is
designed to accept the GX-6000. Insert the GX-6000 in the instrument cradle with the
belt clip facing out before you perform a bump test, calibration, alarm check or charge
a GX-6000. Follow the instructions in this manual and at the center of the instrument
cradle for installing the GX-6000. An infrared (IR) port at the rear of the panel lines up
with the GX-6000’s IR port when it is inserted in the cradle and is used to
communicate with the GX-6000. Charging contacts in the bottom of the cradle line up
with the GX-6000’s charging contacts.
Gas In/Gas Out Cover
The red gas in/gas out cover mates to the GX-6000’s inlet and exhaust fittings and
routes calibration gas to and from the GX-6000. The cover is spring loaded. To
connect the cover to the GX-6000, push it down until it touches the GX-6000 and then
release it. It should lock into place. To release the cover, push it toward the GX-6000
and then release it. It should return to its unconnected position at the top of the
SDM-6000.
