Performing a Bump Test in BUMP
NOTE: Bump Test Function
must be set to On using the 03 Series User
Setup Program in order for BUMP to appear in Calibration Mode.
If Bump Test Function is set to Off, BUMP will not appear. See
the 03 Series User Setup Program Operator’s Manual for
instructions. The factory setting for Bump Test Function is Off.
Entering the BUMP menu item allows you to perform a bump test to
determine if the instrument is responding properly to gas.
Performing a bump test requires the use of a calibration kit. A calibration kit
is available from RKI Instruments, Inc. for each 03 Series model (see
“Parts List”). You will need:
•
A gas cylinder with an appropriate concentration of the target gas for
the CO-03 or HS-03, or a cylinder of 100% nitrogen for the OX-03.
NOTE:
On the OX-03, instead of 100% nitrogen (0% oxygen), it is
allowable to use higher than 0% oxygen to set the zero level. RKI
Instruments, Inc. recommends 18% oxygen or lower.
•
a fixed-flow regulator with a flow rate of 0.5 LPM (liters per minute)
WARNING: Use a 0.5 LPM (liters per minute) fixed flow regulator
when bump testing. Using a different flow rate may
adversely affect the accuracy of the bump test.
