Performing a Bump Test (BUMP TEST)
Bump test the instrument before each day’s use with a known concentration of each target gas.
The instrument does not need to be calibrated unless it does not pass the bump test.
To bump test the GX-3R Pro, you will need:
Known calibrating samples of the gases being detected
A 0.25 LPM fixed flow regulator
Non-absorbent tubing
Calibration cup
1. Confirm that the GX-3R Pro’s calibration gas values match the concentrations listed on the
calibration gas cylinder(s) as described on page 85.
2. Confirm that your cylinder selections are appropriate as described on page 88.
