ppbRAE 3000 User’s Guide
24
A bump test is required (and indicated by this icon) if:
The defined period of time between bump tests has been
exceeded (bump test overdue).
The sensor has failed a previous bump test.
The sensor(s) should be challenged on a periodic basis.
Policy Enforcement
The ppbRAE 3000 can be configured to enforce a facility/company’s
requirements that calibration and/or bump testing be performed at
specified intervals, and to explicitly prompt the user that
calibration/bump testing is required. Depending on how Policy
Enforcement features are configured, the user may be required to
perform a bump test or calibration prior to being able to use the
instrument. That is, it can be set to not allow normal operation of the
instrument unless calibration or bump testing is performed.
If the instrument has been bump tested and calibrated in compliance
with the policy settings, a check-mark icon is included along the top
of the ppbRAE screen:
If Policy Enforcement is enabled, then after startup the ppbRAE
displays a screen that informs the user that the instrument requires
either a bump test or a calibration. If both are required, then they are
shown in sequence.
Note: Policy enforcement features are disabled by default.
Setting Policy Enforcement
You must use ProRAE Studio II to make changes to Policy
Enforcement settings. You must use an AutoRAE 2 Cradle, a
ppbRAE 3000 Travel Charger, or a ppbRAE 3000 Desktop Cradle.
Policy violations are captured in the datalog.
