2. INTRODUCTION
Figure 2-1: PS200-LMP Auto Bump Calibration Station
2.1. General Description
The GMI Personal Surveyor 200-LMP Auto Bump/Calibration Station (ABC) provides the user with
a quick, easy, and reliable method of gas testing PS200-LMP monitors.
The ABC can be configured to either bump test or calibrate:
• Bump Test - verifies sensor response and alarm operation.
• Calibration - adjusts the monitor so that readings match the gas applied.
The ABC is supplied with software that allows its configuration to be altered and all test results to be
extracted and viewed.
The ABC will also validate the monitor’s audible and visual alarms to ensure they operate correctly.
Power is supplied to the ABC via the supplied 12V Universal Power Supply Unit (PSU).

INTRODUCTION
2-2
The ABC will also charge a monitor after a bump test or calibration is complete.
A mounting bracket is supplied allowing the ABC to be secured to a workbench.
2.2. Easy to Use
Simply insert the PS200-LMP into the ABC and close the cover to initiate automatic testing. The
ABC uses colored LEDs to display status:
• LED 1 (Green) = ON (power)
• LED 2 (Orange) = TEST (in progress)
• LED 3 (Green) = PASS
• LED 4 (Red) = FAIL
After a successful calibration, the calibration due date on the monitor is automatically updated.
2.3. Calibration Gas and Regulators
The ABC is not supplied with calibration gas or regulators. Two gas cylinders and two regulators are
required:
• Gas cylinder #1: Combi gas comprising methane (CH4) and carbon monoxide (CO)
• Gas cylinder #2: Methane (CH4)
• Regulator: On Demand Flow Regulator
Tubing and barbed adapters are provided, as standard, to connect the ABC to the output of the gas
regulators.
2.4. Supplied Software
The ABC comes with a USB memory stick, which contains the Windows-based PS200-LMP Set-
tings software that is used to:
1. Re-configure the ABC's operation.
2. Extract bump test and calibration results from the ABC for viewing and printing.
The USB memory stick also contains copies of this handbook and the Quick Operation Guide in PDF
format.
2.5. Monitor Charging
After testing, the ABC will automatically charge the monitor. This is indicated by a battery symbol on
the monitor's display. Charging will take up to 4 hours. On completion, a full battery symbol and
'CHARGING COMPLETE' is displayed.
The monitor will not be damaged if left in the ABC once charging is complete.

3. CONNECTIONS
3.1. Calibration Gas
Gas is supplied to the ABC from two gas cylinders via on-demand flow regulators, Tygon® tubing,
and barbed adapters.
Figure 3-1: Calibration Gas Setup
One of the cylinders will contain both methane (CH4) and carbon monoxide (CO). The other cylinder
will contain only methane (CH4). Refer to Section APPENDIX A. SPECIFICATIONS for the permissible
concentrations for both cylinders.
3.1.1. VERIFY GAS CYLINDERS
Verify that the cylinder ‘use by’ date has not been exceeded as shown in Figure 3-2: Gas Cylinder
Labels.
As illustrated in Figure 3-2: Gas Cylinder Labels, the cylinder gas concentrations are also detailed on
the cylinder label.

Figure 3-2: Gas Cylinder Labels
The concentrations listed on both gas cylinders must be consistent with the ABC configuration.
Refer to Section 7. RE-CONFIGURING THE ABC for further information.
3.1.2. CONNECT GAS CYLINDER TO ABC
1. Connect the on-demand flow regulator firmly to the gas cylinder, as illustrated in Figure 3-3:
Attach Regulator to Gas Cylinder.
Figure 3-3: Attach Regulator to Gas Cylinder
2. Check the pressure gauge on the regulator to verify that the cylinders are not empty.
3. Connect the tubing to the on-demand flow regulator.
4. Connect the other end of the tubing to the barbed adapter (supplied).

5. Gas 1:
Insert the barbed adapter from the combi cylinder into the ‘Gas 1’ inlet on the ABC, as illus-
trated in Figure 3-5: Connect Tubing to ‘Gas 1’ Inlet of ABC.
Figure 3-5: Connect Tubing to ‘Gas 1’ Inlet of ABC
Gas 2:
Insert the barbed adapter from the methane only cylinder into the ‘Gas 2’ inlet on the ABC.
6. To remove an adapter from the ABC, depress the yellow-colored collar to release, then withdraw
adapter.
CAUTION: When connecting the tubing to either the on-demand flow regulator or the
barbed adapter, ensure the tubing fully connects to, and extends past, the
last barb, as illustrated in Figure 3-4: Connecting Tubing to a Barbed Fitting.

3.2. In-line Filter
During bump testing and calibration, ambient air is fed to the monitor from the ‘Air’ inlet. To improve
ABC operation, GMI recommend fitting the supplied ‘Air’ in-line filter.
1. Push the barbed adapter (of the in-line filter assembly) into the ‘Air’ inlet, as illustrated in
Figure 3-6: ‘Air’ Inlet Connection.
Figure 3-6: ‘Air’ Inlet Connection
2. Route the ‘Air’ inlet tubing from the in-line filter to a supply of fresh air (e.g. a window).
Alternatively, use a cylinder of ‘clean’ air to supply inlet air. If this option is adopted, the in-line fil-
ter cannot be used.
3.3. Exhaust
To vent calibration gas:
1. Connect a length of suitable tubing (e.g. GMI P/N 12712, Tygon E-3603, 3/16” ID x 5/16” OD -
not supplied) to the barbed adapter.
2. Push the barbed adapter (supplied) into the ‘Exhaust’ outlet.
3. Route the tubing appropriately (e.g. out a window).
4. Always keep the ends of the ‘Air’ inlet tubing and the ‘Exhaust’ outlet tubing separate.
