Start a bump test
Start a Bump Test
Perform a bump test regularly to test sensors and alarms. To bump test, expose the sensors to a gas concentration that exceeds alarm setpoints and confirm that the sensors and alarms work correctly
The detector can be bump tested in two ways:
- Apply gas from a cylinder to the sensors manually through the pump inlet.
- Use an IntelliDoX module
Perform a manual bump test
Before you begin.
Connect the calibration hose to a demand flow regulator on the gas cylinder
- Double-press the button and select > Start Bump test.
- Press and Hold the button for three seconds. The detector displays Starting Bump test. Bump test started is displayed, and then the detector makes noise, flash, and vibrate.
- The detector will prompt you Did you see and hear the alarms?, select Pass, and Press and hold for three seconds to confirm that the visual, audible, and vibrator alarms work correctly.
An Audio-Visual test passed message is
displayed.
Skip to Step 5. - If the visual, audible, and vibrator alarms failed, select Fail, and press and hold the button. An Audio-Visual test failed message is displayed.
Then you can:
a) Apply gas, Skip to Step 5
b) Press the button to skip gas application and follow on-screen instructions to end the Bump Test. Bump test results are displayed, and the test ends. - If you want to apply gas, follow on-screen instructions. Wait for about 30 seconds; gas measurements are displayed for each pertinent gas sensor. A Bump Test pass confirmation is displayed.
- After the Turn gas off message is displayed, remove the hose from the pump inlet. The detector will remain in alarm until the gas clears from the sensors. Bump test results are displayed showing check marks next to the tested sensors. These sensors reset to the number of days until the next Bump Test is due.
- Press the button to finish the procedure.
CAUTION
Honeywell recommends to bump test the sensors before each day
