9. loss of sensitivity Verification of Accuracy With so many reasons why a sensor can lose sensitivity and given the fact that dependable sensors can be key to survival in a hazardous environment frequent verification of sensor performance is paramount There is only one sure way to verify that a sensor can respond to the gas for which it is designed That is to expose it to a Known concentration of target gas and compare the reading with the concentration of the gas This is referred to as a bump test This test is very simple and takes only a few seconds to accomplish The safest course of action is to doa bump test prior to each day s use It is not necessary to make a calibration adjustment if the readings fall between 90 and 120 of the expected value As an example if a CO sensor is checked using a gas concentration of 50 PPM it is not necessary to perform a calibration unless the readings are either below 45 PPM or above 60 PPM The Canadian Standards Association CSA requires combustible gas sensors to undergo calibration when the displayed value during a bump test fails to fall between 100 and 120 of the expected value for the gas Lengthening the Intervals between Verification of Accuracy We are often asked whether there are any circumstances in which the period between accuracy checks may be lengthened Sperian Instrumentation is not the only manufacturer to be asked this question On
