Bump Testing • 187

8. When AUTO CAL in the BUMP--SET menu item in Maintenance Mode is set 

to OFF:
•

The instrument will display which channels passed or failed the bump 
test with a P (pass) or an F (fail) to the right of the gas.

•

To view the bump test gas readings press the AIR

▲

 or (SHIFT)

▼

 button. 

You can scroll between the bump test results and the bump test gas 
readings with the AIR

▲

 or (SHIFT)

▼

 button. 

•

To return to the BUMP screen in Calibration Mode, press POWER 
ENTER.   

See “Troubleshooting” on page 159 to investigate the cause of the failure and 
replace the failed sensor or sensors if necessary.
