Test Gas Generator for easy Bump Test

of Gas Detectors

Safety in ten Seconds

Personnel working in chemical plants, uses gas

detectors to protect themselves from exposure to toxic

gases. Gas leaks fortunately happen very rarely, so the

gas detector will normally read “zero” all the time.

The “zero” reading may have two reasons:

a) The gas concentration is zero.

b) The gas detector is defective.

For this good reason a daily performance test of the

gas detector is mandatory in many plants. A complete

calibration would be too time-consuming, but a bump

test will prove that the detector is working. It will reliably

indicate any damage by wear and tear or abuse.

The gas generator can be operated by everyone without

extra training. The gas generation starts, as soon as a

gas detector is attached to it. It stops gas generation

automatically after ten seconds, or if the gas detector

is removed. If the detector fails to alarm within this time

interval, it needs to be serviced.
