A bump test is performed to confirm that the detector is responding to gas, and that the audio and visual alarms are operational.
The following detectors transfer their event logs to the base station MMC during a bump test:

• GasAlertClip Extreme
• GasAlert Extreme
• GasAlertMicroClip
• GasAlertMax XT

Caution

Ensure the detector is not in a low battery state prior to performing a bump test.

Note

If the GasAlertMicro, GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR, GasAlertMicroClip, or GasAlertMax XT will be reconfigured, reconfiguration must be completed prior to performing a bump test. Refer to Reconfiguring the Detector (not applicable to the GasAlertClip Extreme).

To perform a bump test, complete the following:

If the MMC/SD card is not inserted, displays on the LCD when the base station attempts to write results to the MMC/SD card. If required, refer to Inserting/Replacing a MMC/SD Card.
2. Activate the detector and wait until it is in normal operation. Insert it into the docking module.
3. Activate the base station and wait until it is in normal operation.

4. From the docking module, press BUMP CHECK. The RUN LED lights yellow.

If a bump test is initiated while in the user menu: Bump tests are initiated after exiting the user options menu.

When the base station enters normal operation, the base station automatically begins the bump test.

If more than one docking module is queued: If more than one docking module is queued for a bump test, the first docking module queued begins the bump test.

The RUN LED flashes yellow on the remaining docking modules that are queued for a bump test. When the first module is complete, the next module in the queue begins the bump test.
5. Depending upon the type of detector, the option to reconfigure is provided.
If the detector was reconfigured without user
