Page 52: Calibration And Testing
• Calibration intervals and bump test procedures may vary due to national legislation. • Honeywell recommends using calibration gas cylinders containing the gas that is appropriate to the sensor you are using, and in the correct concentration. When a bump test is done manually, the instrument makes a pass/fail decision based on sensor performance, but the user still has the responsibility to make sure all the alarms are enabled and functional. - Page 53 BW RigRat User’s Guide 6. After the audio-visual test, bump test, the instrument is ready for calibration. 7. Mount the calibration adapter and apply gas when the display shows “Apply test gas now.” Otherwise, the bump test will fail. Also, it may be necessary to change gas cylinders to provide the necessary gas for each sensor bump test.
-
Page 54: Calibration
BW RigRat User’s Guide If the Audio-Visual test fails or some sensors fail their bump test, the display will show results like this: Important! Gas must be applied only after RigRat shows “Apply test gas now.” Otherwise, the bump test will fail. -
Page 55: Maintenance
Honeywell guidelines provided in Honeywell training programs. IMPORTANT! Honeywell cannot guarantee the IP rating of an instrument that has been opened and not reassembled according to instructions.
