Definition – Bump Test & Calibration Bump Test – Qualitative function check
• Check unit’s ability to respond to a challenge gas within a given amount time. For typical applications, a bump test is sufficient to determine the general functionality of the detector.
• A bump test confirms that gas entries are free and that the sensor(s) are functioning.
Full Calibration – Accuracy adjustment • Adjustment of the sensor(s) output to match the known
traceable calibration gas concentration. Full calibration ensures maximum accuracy of the instrument.

Why Bump Test and Calibrate? There are many corporate, local, or regional recommendations
and/or requirements for bump testing and calibrations Why bump test?
• All sensors will eventually fail. Some fail suddenly and some fail over a long period of time. Bump testing will alert the user of a non-functional sensor. This failed condition could be a loss of sensitivity, a loss of response time, or both.
• Gases or vapors must be able to reach the sensor. Bump testing will alert the user if a gas inlet has become blocked, even if the blockage is not visible to the human eye.
Why calibrate? • All sensors will have some amount of drift over time. Calibration
ensures that the instrument is reading as accurately as possible.• Situations like over-exposures, introduction of poisons, heavy impacts,
or extreme environmental changes can cause sensors to be less accurate. Calibration will correct for these potential uncontrollable effects.

Why use an Automated Test System? Makes bump testing and calibration so easy, that anyone can do it Records/stores bump testing and calibration records for
traceability Tracks bump testing and calibrations over an entire fleet of
instruments, and can provide alerts of failures or overdue units Can print bump receipts or calibration labels to provide visual
indication of compliance Can download alarm indications, datalogs, and other information
from the instruments into customizable reports so that the entire instrument fleet can be easily and proactively managed
Track gas usage, gas expiration, end of sensor life warnings, sensor replacements, and instrument history to reduce down-time and overall maintenance costs

Overview – Instrument Self-Test Many detectors on the market today, including MSA,
perform an automatic self-test. MSA gas detectors perform a self test at instrument turn-on
or after the “test” button is pressed. Self-tests generally check the electronic circuit and that sensors
are present. They also typically light the display and sound the alarms so they can be verified by the user.
Today’s self-tests cannot confirm gas entries are free from any blockages or that the sensor(s) are responding to gas.
A Bump test is necessary to confirm that gas is reaching the sensor and that the sensor is functional.
FFresh AAir SSet-up (FAS) is not a bump test. It only refreshes the zero point and does not indicate sensor functionality.

MSA Recommendation
Bump test frequency is often stipulated by national or corporate regulations; however, bump testing before each day’s use is the accepted best safety practice to verify proper instrument operation.
• Customers who want to maintain the maximum amount of accuracy may choose to calibrate each day instead of bump testing.
• A calibration should be performed after a failed bump test.
A full calibration should be performed at regular intervals according to national standards or internal company policies, and after any failed bump tests.
• If high accuracy is desired, a daily calibration is allowed and will not damage the sensors or shorten their life.
• If a calibration of one or more sensors repeatedly fails, the sensor(s) need to be replaced or instrument should be removed for servicing.
