DETECTOR MAINTENANCE
Battery
This detector is designed so that the battery will not need to be charged during the life of the detector. If the battery is too
low, the detector will display "LOW BAT".
If this occurs prior to detector's end of life, contact GCT for technical support .
DO NOT substitute any other battery type than specified and supplied by GCT .
Bump Testing
The detector can be configured to keep track of regular bump testing intervals in a Bump Log. The interval can be individually
adjusted for each sensor using the GCT IR Link software. When a programmed bump test comes due, or if the last bump test
has failed, then the detector’s display will continually flash “BUMP DUE” until the detector has been successfully bump tested.
Performing a bump test that will be recorded in the Bump Log can be done either automatically (insert the detector into the
MGC Simple Clip Dock), or manually (apply gas according to the
Manual Bump Test Instructions
described below).
Manual Bump Test Instructions
Press the Power/Menu Button two separate times in quick succession (double-tap) to access the Main Menu. The
display will then show, in the following order:
When the screen displays “SHOW STATUS”, quickly press and release the Power/Menu Button to display the current
calibration status followed by the current bump test status. The next step depends on the following situations:
• When a bump interval has been programmed into the detector and a bump test is due
, the current bump
test status will show: “L. BUMP ___” (the date of the last bump test) followed by “BUMP DUE”. Audible, visual &
vibrating prompting to apply gas will automatically start. The display will alternate between “BUMP DUE” and
“APPLY GAS”. Clip the MGC-S Calibration Cap (provided with the detector) into place over the sensor ports. Apply
gas to the detector at a flow rate of 0.5 LPM and do not disturb while test is being performed. Once all of the
sensors have been tested, the detector will go into alarm. Remove the MGC-S Calibration Cap and the detector
will return to normal operation after a short period of time. The bump due date will be automatically reset. The
bump test will be recorded in the Bump Log
.
