If required, refer to Using the Base Station before adding a docking module.

Warning

Only one module can be connected at a time. Complete steps #1-20 for each docking module that is added.

To add another docking module, refer to Table 12, and Table 13, Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 13, and complete the following procedures:

Table 12. Torque Specifications

Housing Assembly	Torque
Alligator clip	4-5 in lbs
Wall mounting plate	9-10 in lbs

Table 13. Adding Another Docking Module

Item	Description
1	Phillips pan-head screw (3)
2	End plate

1. Deactivate the base station.
2. Remove the power cord from the POWER port. If applicable, remove the charger cord from the CHARGER port.
3. Remove the end plate. There are three Phillips screws on the front and three Phillips screws on the back.
4. Attach the new docking module.

Ensure the barbed fitting ports mate correctly with the gasket block. Ensure that the male and female PCB connectors mate correctly.

Initializing the New Docking Module

When a new docking module is connected, it must be initialized (setup to communicate with the base station).

5. Simultaneously press and hold BUMP CHECK on the new docking module while pressing (leftmost button) on the base station.
6. All of the LEDs on the new docking module light. On the base station LCD, the following screen displays to confirm that the new docking module has been successfully added.

7. Press OK.
8. Deactivate the base station.

Caution

The base station must be deactivated after each module has been added

Defining Pump Speed

The pump speed must be defined for each new docking module that is connected.

Warning

Perform the pump setup procedures in a clean atmosphere only.

9. Reactivate the base station and wait until it enters normal operation.
10. Connect a hose to a flow meter and to inlet 1 (PURGE) on the base station.

Allow the flow meter sufficient time to stabilize (approximately 30 minutes) before using it to ensure accurate flow readings.

11. From the base station, access the user options menu.
12. Press or to scroll to the Pump Setup option

13. Press sel to activate the pump setup field ( changes to ).

The base station immediately begins pumping the ambient air.
The factory default pump speed displays beside Pump Setup. The base station pump speed is measured as a percentage (%) and the flow meter measures speed in ml/min.

Note

The base station is shipped with the factory default pump speed set to 350 ml/min. (40-45%).

14. Monitor the flow meter until it stabilizes (5-20 minutes depending upon the type of flow meter).
15. From the base station, press or until the flow meter displays 350 ml/m.
16. From the base station, press exit to save the new value and exit the Pump Setup field ( changes to ).
17. Press exit again to return to normal operation.

18. Repeat steps # 1-17 for each docking module that is added. Continue to step #18 and 19 for the last module added.
19. After all of the modules have been added, attach the end plate. Refer to Figure 11.
20. Fasten the bottom cover plate to the space between the two docking modules using six Phillips flat-head screws. Refer to Figure 13.

Note

When assembling or reassembling parts of the base station and docking modules, refer to the Table 12.
