Bump Test Pass

When the bump test is successful, LCD screen background changes to green and Bump test passed message is displayed. Alarm response and sensor response test items are checked. Press to return to IntelliDoX user menu.

Bump Test Fail

When the bump test fails, LCD screen background changes to red and Bump test failed message is displayed. Failed alarm response and/or sensor response test items are marked with . If the AutoCal on Failed Bump is set using PC configuration software, calibration automatically begins.

Calibration

Calibration is a two-step procedure that determines the measurement scale for the detector’s response to gas. In the first step, a baseline reading is taken in a clean, uncontaminated environment. In the second step, the sensors are exposed to known concentrations of gas. The detector uses the baseline and known gas concentrations to determine the measurement scale.

Calibration Guidelines

1. Calibrate only in a normal environment that is 20.9% O2 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.
2. Use only premium grade calibration gases and cylinders that are approved by Honeywell, and supplied by Honeywell or an authorized distributor. The calibration gases must meet the accuracy of the detector. For more information, refer to the User Manual.
3. Do not use a gas cylinder beyond its expiration date
4. All calibration cylinders must be used with a demand flow regulator and must meet these maximum inlet pressure specifications. Disposable cylinders: 000 psig/70 bar, refillable cylinders: 03000 psig/207 bar
5. Do not calibrate the detector during charging or immediately after charging.
6. Calibrate the sensor if ambient gas readings vary during startup.
7. Calibrate a new sensor before use. Allow the sensor to stabilize before starting calibration.
8. Used sensor: wait 60 seconds
9. New sensor: wait 5 minutes
10. When calibrating the same gas detector multiple times, wait 10 minutes between calibrations to allow the sensor to stabilize.
