Bump Interval
Define how often a bump check should be performed for each sensor in
the Bump Interval field. A different bump interval can be defined for
each sensor.
1. Enter the value (1-365 days) for each sensor.
2. Enter 0 to disable the Bump Interval option. Entering 0
automatically disables the Force Bump When Overdue
option.
The detector is shipped with the factory default set to 1 day.
Note
BW recommends to bump test the sensors before each day’s
use to confirm their ability to respond to gas by exposing the
detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints.
Verify that the audible and visual alarms activate. Calibrate if the
readings are not within the specified limits.
Low Alarm
Enter the low alarm setpoints for each sensor. Refer to Factory Gas
Alarm Setpoints for factory defined alarm setpoints.
Applicable to all sensors.
High Alarm
Enter the high alarm setpoints for each sensor. Refer to Factory Gas
Alarm Setpoints for factory defined alarm setpoints.
Applicable to all sensors.
TWA Alarm
The time-weighted average (TWA) is a safety measure used to deter-
mine accumulated average exposure to gases. An average is deter-
mined using the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) method to ensure the worker is warned when the maximum
average is accumulated.
The US OSHA method is defined as a moving average that accumu-
lates over an 8-hour average. If the worker is in the field longer, the old-
est accumulated values (first hour) are replaced by the newest values
(ninth hour). This continues for the duration of the work shift until the
detector is deactivated.
TWA Alarm applies to CO and H
2
S sensors only.
1. Refer to Factory Gas Alarm Setpoints
for the factory
alarm setpoints.
