Bump testing verifies that G6's gas sensors and notification indicators (lights, sound, and vibration) are functioning correctly.

If configured for your device, bump testing verifies that your device’s gas sensors and notification indicators (lights, sound, and vibration) are functioning correctly. During a bump test, you apply a known concentration and amount of gas to confirm the sensor triggers a notification due to the gas exposure.

Your bump test schedule should be informed by your company’s safety policy and is configurable in Blackline Live.

G6 automatically communicates bump test data to Blackline Live at the device’s next scheduled synchronization and reminds you when a bump test is overdue.

For more information on G6 bump testing notifications, see section 3.

To manually bump test G6, you need a calibration cap (ACC-G6-CAL) and tube (ACC-G6-T2). Alternatively, you can bump test using G6 Dock.

For more information on bump testing with G6 Dock, see the G6 Dock Technical User Manual.
