Bump test
For the procedure for performing a bump test See "Bump test" on page 67 for more
information.
A bump test can be performed either manually or using the AutoRAE 2 Automatic Test and
Calibration System. When a bump test is done manually, the instrument makes a pass/fail
decision based on sensor performance, but the user still has the responsibility to make sure all
the alarms are enabled and functional.
Note: Bump testing and calibration can be performed using an AutoRAE 2 Automatic Test &
Calibration System. An AutoRAE 2 bump test takes care of both the sensor and alarm tests.
Consult the AutoRAE 2 User's guide for details.
The same gas is used for a bump test as for calibration. The instrument must be connected to a
cylinder of calibration gas with supplied tubing.
IMPORTANT!
If the instrument does not pass a bump test, perform a full calibration. If calibration also fails,
the PID sensor or lamp may require cleaning or replacement. If the instrument repeatedly fails
to calibrate, turn it off and refer it for servicing.
