Introduction
The frequency of testing or calibration is
generally determined by local regulation or
standards.
There are two concepts that need to be
differentiated: bump test and calibration
Bump Test: This consists of exposing
the sensor to a gas. The objective is to
establish if the sensor is reacting to the
gas and all the sensor outputs are working
correctly. A qualified bump test is a test
carried out using ampoules or cylinders of
known concentration.
Calibration: This consists of exposing the
sensor to a calibration gas setting the “zero”
or “Standby voltage”, the span or range,
and checking/adjusting all the outputs, so
that they are activated at a specified gas
concentration.
Danfoss recommends annual
checks by qualified bump test
and replacement of the sensor
PCB with a Danfoss pre-calibrated
certified sensor PCB every two
years. The mother PCB is at the
same time tested with the GD
tester.
The alternative to this is a full
on site calibration. Sensor
replacement should be more cost
effective, eliminates end of life
concerns, and constantly renews
the detection system.
Procedures for bump test and calibration
vary depending on the sensor technology
used and the gas in question.
The GD is available in four sensor versions:
Semiconductor (SC), Electrochemical (EC),
Catalytic (CT), and Infrared (IR) for CO
2
.
Before you carry out the test or
calibration:
1. Advise occupants, plant
operators, and supervisors.
2. Check if the relays (Con6 and
Con7) are connected
to external systems such as
sprinkler systems, plant
shut down, external sirens and
beacons, ventilation, etc. and
disconnect as appropriate.
3. Deactivate alarm delays with
JP1 and JP2. See fig. 1.
For this the GD must be
powered off.
4. For Bump Test the GD should
be powered up overnight.
NOTE:
If unit has been installed and running
for about 24 hrs, and you need to power
it off to set the delay at 0 min, then the
warm-up is 2 min and you can begin the
testing or calibration.
ENGLISH
Bump test (every year)
Ideally bump tests are conducted on site in
a clean air atmosphere.
The bump test can be carried out on
following types of GD
(see table 1)
GDA
(qualified bump test)
GDC
(qualified bump test/ restricted
bump test)
GDHC
(restricted bump test)
GDHF
(restricted bump test)
GDHF-R3 (restricted bump test)
See table 1, to find the GD type and the
corresponding Bump test method.
Checking the zero (0 Voltage output).
See Appendix 1. (not required for IR sensor)
1. Remove the cover of enclosure of the
GD
2. Make sure that both the ampoules and
the calibration beaker are clean and dry
(see fig. 5).
3. Unscrew the beaker hold screw and
place the ampoule so that is sits in the
base of the beaker (see fig. 2).
4. Tighten on the screw ampoule without
breaking it.
5. For the models:
Standard Basic
Standard Basic with LCD display
IP 56 enclosure
IP 56 enclosure Low Temperature
Screw in:
EC/SC/CT-Adaptor or M35-Adaptor into
the Beaker according to table 1.
Place the beaker with the EC/SC/CT-
Adaptor over the sensor.
It should be as tight fitting as possible
to allow maximum exposure to the gas
(see fig. 5).
For the GDC (CO
2
)models:
Standard Basic
Standard Basic with LCD display
IP 56 enclosure
IP 56 enclosure Low Temperature
Place the beaker over the sensor in a
45° degree (see fig. 3). This allows gas to
flow through the back of the sensor
and through the calibration ports.
For the models:
IP 65 for High RH and Fast response
EExd model
EExd model Low Temperature
IP 66 enclosure 5 m remote IP 65 sensor
IP 66 enclosure 5 m remote IP 65 EExd
sensor
Screw/fit the beaker (possibly with
M35 Adaptor) on the remote
sensorhead (see fig. 4). It should be as
tight fitting as possible to allow
maximum exposure to the gas.
6. Connect volt meter to monitor sensor
response.
(Con3 pin 1 and 3 - see fig. 1).
7. Tighten on the ampoule until it
shatters allowing the content to diffuse
in the beaker. It should be left in place
for approximately 5 min.
8. Voltage output will increase. This
confirms that the sensor is responding.
See Pass test criteria in table 1.
9. Carefully remove any ampoule remains
from the gas detector, and reassemble
the sensor enclosure.
Fill out the GD Bump Test Certificate.
