Bump Test
A bump test is performed to confirm that the detector is responding to
gas, and that the audio and visual alarms are operational.
The following detectors transfer their event logs to the base station MMC
during a bump test:
• GasAlertClip Extreme
• GasAlert Extreme
• GasAlertMicroClip
• GasAlertMax XT
• GasAlertQuattro
a Caution
Ensure the detector is not in a low battery state prior to performing
a bump test.
Note
The base station cannot perform a bump test for O
3
and ClO
2
sensors.
If the GasAlertMicro, GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR,
GasAlertMicroClip, GasAlertMax XT, or GasAlertQuattro will be
reconfigured, reconfiguration must be completed prior to per-
forming a bump test. Refer to Reconfiguring the Detector (not
applicable to the GasAlertClip Extreme).
To perform a bump test, complete the following:
1. Ensure the MMC/SD card is inserted if datalogging is required.
If the MMC/SD card is not inserted, displays on the LCD
when the base station attempts to write results to the MMC/SD
card. If required, refer to Inserting/Replacing a MMC/SD Card
.
2. Activate the detector and wait until it is in normal operation.
Insert it into the docking module.
3. Activate the base station and wait until it is in normal operation.
4. From the docking module, press
C BUMP CHECK. The RUN
LED lights yellow.
If a bump test is initiated while in the user menu: Bump tests
are initiated after exiting the user options menu.
When the base station enters normal operation, the base station
automatically begins the bump test.
If more than one docking module is queued: If more than one
docking module is queued for a bump test, the first docking mod-
ule queued begins the bump test.
The RUN LED flashes yellow on the remaining docking modules
that are queued for a bump test. When the first module is com-
plete, the next module in the queue begins the bump test.
