  • Page 17: Setting The Bump Test And Calibration Parameters

    The bump test and calibration parameters are saved in the SM-2009U’s memory. If a parameter is changed with one particular GX-2009 installed in the SM-2009U, the change will be in effect for the bump test or calibration of any subsequent GX-2009 until the parameter is changed again.
  • Page 18 The air sample time can be set separately for bump testing and calibration. It is the length of time that a SM-2009U will draw air through the AIR fitting on the back of the station. Air is drawn during a bump test before an air adjust operation and to purge calibration gas from the system after calibration gas has been drawn through the CAL.
