6. Manual Bump Test Options

6.1. Bump Testing

A bump test verifies sensor response and alarm operation by exposing the monitor to a known
concentration of gas.
The monitor has 2 manual bump test options:
• QUICK bump test validates sensors respond to gas and alarms are working.
• FULL bump test checks the response of all sensors against set limits and alarms are
working.
By default, both of these options are disabled.
A bump test kit (Part No. 64051) is available and contains test gas, a regulator, and Tygon®
tubing.
WARNING: A QUICK BUMP TEST ONLY CHECKS THE OPERATION OF
THE AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALARMS. IT DOES NOT VALIDATE SENSOR
ACCURACY OR RESPONSE TIME.
WHEN PERFORMING A BUMP TEST, THE TEST GAS CONCENTRATION
SHOULD BE HIGH ENOUGH TO TRIGGER THE MONITOR'S ALARMS. IF
ANY MONITOR FAILS A BUMP TEST, PERFORM A FULL CALIBRATION
BEFORE USING THAT MONITOR.
