Manual Bump Test/Auto Bump Test
You can select Manual Bump Test or Auto Bump Test.
If Manual Bump Test is selected, you have to manually select an instrument
or instruments in the main program window and click Bump Test in the
lower right corner of the window in order to perform a bump test.
If Auto Bump Test is selected, and an instrument is due for bump testing, a
bump test will automatically begin 1 minute after that instrument
successfully connects to the program and its instrument parameters are
retrieved by the program. When you select Auto Bump Test, a window pops
up indicating that only sensors tested with GAS 1 and one sensor tested
with GAS 2 will be bump tested in auto bump test.
Every instrument configuration except a Gas Tracer with a %volume
combustible gas sensor installed can be fully bump tested using Auto
Bump Test. If you have a Gas Tracer with a %volume combustible sensor
installed, only the standard 3 sensors (catalytic LEL, O
2
, and CO) will be
bump tested. You must perform a manual bump test in order to perform a
complete bump test that includes the ppm combustible sensor and the
%volume sensor.
If neither box is selected, you will not be able to perform a bump test. The
factory setting is Manual Bump Test selected and Auto Bump Test
deselected. Select the box for the desired operation.
The Auto Bump Test selection also has a Standard GAS and an All GAS
selection. If Standard GAS is selected, only the standard sensors (catalytic
LEL, O
2
, CO, and H
2
S [GX-2012 only]) will be bump tested during an
automatic bump test. If All GAS is selected, all installed sensors will be
bump tested during an automatic bump test for every instrument
configuration except for a Gas Tracer with a %volume sensor installed.
Only the standard 3 sensors (catalytic LEL, O
2
, and CO) will be bump
tested in a Gas Tracer with a %volume sensor installed.

Interval
The Interval can be set anywhere between 1 and 30 days and is the length
of time that can pass before the program will prompt you to perform a bump
test. The factory setting is 30 days.
