Evacuation alert over Bluetooth connection
The device has the ability to receive an evacuate message over the Bluetooth connection. The user
must successfully pair the device and Bluetooth host confirming that the six digit security code matches
both on the device and the Bluetooth host. Once connected, an evacuate message sent to the device
will send the device into alarm while displaying EVACUATE on the display. Press the
silence the Evacuation alert and confirm the alert was received. Press the
reset the Evacuation alert once in a safe area.

Function Tests on the Device
Alarm Test
Turn ON the device.
The user should verify that:
-
alarm LEDs flash
-
horn sounds briefly
-
vibrating alarm triggers briefly.
4.9
Bump Test
Perform a Bump Test before each day's use to verify proper device operation. Failure to perform this
test can result in serious personal injury or death.
Bump test frequency is often stipulated by national or corporate regulations; however,
bump testing before each day's use is generally the accepted best safety practice and
is therefore MSA's recommendation.
This test quickly confirms that the gas sensors are functioning. Perform a full calibration periodically to
ensure accuracy and immediately if the device fails the Bump Test. The Bump Test can be performed
using the procedure below or automatically using the GALAXY GX2 Test Stand.
CSA requires (per 22.2 NO. 152) that combustible sensor sensitivity be tested before each day's use
on a known concentration of methane equivalent to 25 to 50 % of full scale concentration. ACCURACY
MUST BE WITHIN 0 to +20 % OF ACTUAL. Correct accuracy by performing the calibration procedure
described in chapter 4.10.
NOTE: The GALAXY GX2 cannot test the Chlorine Dioxide sensor. For this sensor, use this Bump Test
procedure and/or manually calibrate as described in chapter 4.10.
Equipment
See accessory chapter for ordering information for these components.
-
Calibration Check Gas Cylinder(s)
See chapter 6.3 for calibration gas target values and appropriate MSA calibration gas cylinders.
