Bump Test
For optimal performance, BW Technologies recommends bump testing detectors
before each use. For more information, refer to the appropriate detector operator
manual.
A bump test is a procedure that confirms a detector’s ability to respond to target gases by
exposing the detector to a known gas concentration. The module supports two types of
bump test:
1. FastBump, an accelerated test that performs the bump procedure and event log
transfer only; and
2. Standard Bump Test, a test that performs the bump procedure and other procedures
specified to occur automatically on insertion, such as datalog transfers or firmware
updates.
Before You Begin
1. Read and understand bump test information in the appropriate detector operator
manual.
2. Read and understand Bump Test Guidelines in this section.
3. Verify that the detector is activated.
4. Verify that the detector is not in a low-battery state.
5. Bump test only in a normal environment that is 20.9% v/v O
2
and free of hazardous
gas. Do not operate the docking module in a hazardous area. Failure to adhere to this
guideline can result in possible personal injury and/or property damage.
Bump Test Guidelines
1. Perform compliance tests only in a normal environment that is 20.9% v/v O
2
and free
of hazardous gas. Do not operate the module in a hazardous area. Failure to adhere
to this guideline can result in possible personal injury and/or property damage.
2. The use of gas cylinders other than those specified by BW Technologies may result in
unsafe bump tests or possible non-recoverable failure of the equipment, and will
invalidate the warranty.
3. Do not use gas cylinders past their expiration date.
4. A demand flow regulator must be used with all gas cylinder connections. The module
inlet should not be pressurized.
5. Do not bump test the detector immediately after charging is complete.
6. Bump test the detector if ambient gas readings vary during startup.
7. Allow the sensor to stabilize before starting the bump test.
1. Used sensor: wait 60 seconds
2. New sensor: wait 5 minutes
8. When bump testing the same detector multiple times, wait 10 minutes between bump
tests to allow the sensors to stabilize.
