Page 2: Warning
WARNING This instrument generates test gas for toxic gas detectors. The instruction manual should be read and understood prior to operation of the instrument. Failure to operate the instrument correctly can lead to improper testing of your detection system. This instrument conforms to the protection requirements of the EC DIRECTIVE 2014/30/EU on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), in accordance with the provisions of Statutory Instrument 2372. -

Page 6: General Description
The MiniBump is a small battery-powered, portable electrochemical gas generator designed to functionally test and or calibrate toxic gas sensors and alarm systems. The MiniBump is designed to 'bump' a gas detection system into alarm within approximately 30 seconds when used with a MiniBump generating source. -
Page 7: Microprocessor-Based Circuitry
Users should also be aware that use of rechargeable batteries will void the CSA approval of the MiniBump for intrinsic safety. Microprocessor-Based Circuitry When powered-up, the microprocessor checks for what type of generating source is inserted, the gas type and concentration as well as if the source is a “bump”... -

25 seconds. Note: Some sensors have faster response times than others. If the system does not respond to the gas within 30 seconds, continue to leave the MiniBump attached to the sensor throughout the purge cycle and if needed, run the bump cycle a second time. -
Page 9: Normal Operation Minibump Source
The instrument is designed to generate gas for approximately 36 seconds per bump test. Each source will provide up to 1000 tests. The MiniBump will generate gas until either the battery becomes discharged or the source is consumed. If either condition occurs, a RED LED will light, indicating a non- normal condition (refer to the Non-Normal Operation section that follows.) -
Page 10: Start-Up Minical Source
It will shut off automatically after an additional 25 seconds. Note: Some sensors have faster response times than others. Leave the MiniBump calibrator attached to the sensor until the sensor has stabilized and then proceed with the calibration procedure for that sensor. -
Page 11: Normal Operation Minical Source
The instrument is designed to generate calibration gas at .5LPM (liters per minute). Each MiniCal source will provide 5 hours of calibration gas. The MiniBump will generate gas until either the battery becomes discharged or the source is consumed. If either condition occurs, a RED LED will light, indicating a non-normal condition (refer to the Non-Normal Operation section that follows.) -
Page 12: Non-Normal Operation
VI. NON-NORMAL OPERATION If either the batteries or the generating source become depleted, or the generating source is removed from the MiniBump, the instrument enters a non-normal operating condition and the RED LED will turn on. Under a low battery condition, the RED LED will begin to flash. If the low battery condition occurs during power up, the RED LED will flash for approximately 30 seconds and then the instrument will power down. -
Page 13: Cell Life
Different types of generating sources can be used with each instrument. The microprocessor in the MiniBump reads the type of gas of the source from a memory chip embedded in the source body. It then adjusts itself for each type of gas output. -
Page 14: Maintenance
VIII. MAINTENANCE The MiniBump instrument is designed to operate at 0.5 liters per minute flow rate. For most accurate calibration when using a MiniCal source, the flow should be checked and adjusted if necessary. Check the flow using a volumetric flow meter connected directly to the output of the instrument. -
Page 15: Caution
Caution Both the electrochemical source and the alkaline batteries used in the MiniBump instrument contain corrosive chemicals.While it is not expected that the chemicals in the source or alkaline batteries will leak during normal operation, it is recommended that both the source and the batteries be removed from the instrument if it is being stored for periods longer than one week between use. -
