2.4 Test Result Status Indication

During the process of the test the LED will flash amber. If the test is passed I-Test will display the 

following icon 

and the LED 

À

 on the I-Test gas monitor pod will be illuminated green. If the test 

is failed I-Test will display the following icon 

 and the LED on the I-Test gas monitor pod will be 

illuminated red (see below).

Figure 8: Result indications

I-Test will also display the 

 icon if I-Test was unable to perform the configured test. 

This may occur for example if a monitor is inserted with an unsupported sensor/gas fitment or if the 

attached cylinder does not contain a suitable test gas for a specific sensor type in the monitor.

If the monitor is not correctly inserted in the gas monitor pod it may not be recognised by I-Test. 

This will be indicated by the I-Test gas monitor pod LED red and the icon 

 flashing for a period of 

approximately 30 seconds. The monitor must be removed from the I-Test and reinserted.

Note:

 

If a monitor is inserted into I-Test with a specific sensor due bump test (not all sensors may be due a 

bump test on the same date) and the attached cylinder does not contain the required gas, I-Test will 

display the 

 icon and not perform a bump test on any sensors. 

 

If a monitor is inserted into I-Test with a specific sensor(s) 

not

 due a bump test and the attached 

cylinder does not contain that required gas(s) but the cylinder does contain the gas for remaining 

sensors due a bump test. I-Test will continue to bump test the sensors due and will not bump test the 

sensor(s) not due.
