Air Sample Time (AIR TIME)
The air sample time can be set separately for bump testing and calibration. It is the
length of time that the SDM-E2 will draw air through the AIR fitting on the back of the
docking station. Air is drawn during a bump test or calibration before an air adjust
operation and to purge calibration gas from the system after calibration gas has been
drawn through the GAS 1 or GAS 2 fittings on the back of the docking station.
Calibration Gas Sample Time (GAS TIME)
The calibration gas sample time can be set separately for bump testing and
calibration. It is the length of time that the SDM-E2 will draw calibration gas through
the GAS 1 or GAS 2 fittings on the back of the docking station during a bump test. If
the GAS TIME is set to AUTO, the SDM-E2 applies calibration gas for the appropriate
amount of time based on the sensors installed in the EAGLE 2.
Bump Test Check Tolerance (CHECK)
The bump test check tolerance only applies to bump testing. It determines how close
the EAGLE 2 gas reading must be to the calibration gas concentration for each
channel during a bump test in order to pass the bump test. It is defined as a
percentage of the calibration gas concentration.The amount that the EAGLE 2 gas
reading differs from the calibration gas concentration must be equal to or less than
this percentage of the calibration gas concentration. For example, if the tolerance is
set to ±50%, and the %LEL calibration gas concentration is 50% LEL, then the bump
test gas reading for the LEL channel on the EAGLE 2 must be 50 %LEL ± 25 %LEL.
