SDM-E2 PC Controlled Manual

A check valve is included with the SDM-E2. It is intended for use on the exhaust fitting when manifolding multiple docking stations together. See “Assembling a

Manifold for Multiple SDM-E2 Units” on page 12 for manifolding instructions.

Instrument Panel

The instrument panel is located on the top of the SDM-E2 and includes the instrument cradle, the exhaust bellow, the IR port, the charging cord, and a recess for the fitting at the end of the gas out to EAGLE 2 line. The instrument cradle is a recessed area on the top of the SDM-E2 that is designed to accept the EAGLE 2.

Insert the EAGLE 2 in the instrument cradle before you perform a bump test, calibrate, or charge an EAGLE 2. The exhaust bellow is at the back of the instrument panel and must line up with the exhaust port on the EAGLE 2 when it is in the cradle.

The instrument panel also has a protective metal loop to protect the exhaust bellow and to prevent the EAGLE 2 from being accidentally dislodged from the cradle.

Follow the instructions in this manual and at the center of the instrument cradle for installing the EAGLE 2 in the cradle to avoid damaging the exhaust bellow. An infrared (IR) port at the rear of the panel lines up with the EAGLE 2’s IR port when it is inserted in the cradle and is used to communicate with the EAGLE 2. The charging cord and the fitting at the end of the gas out to EAGLE 2 line are stored in the instrument panel.
