The GMI Personal Surveyor 200 (PS200) Series Auto Bump / Calibration Station provides the user with a quick, easy and reliable method of ensuring that PS200 series instruments are correctly calibrated where company policy dictates. Equipment does not have to be taken out of service for extended periods while testing is undertaken.
The Auto Bump / Calibration Station can be used for:
- A ‘Quick’ Bump Test, approximately 15 seconds gas duration, to verify that the instrument alarms will activate when the alarm setpoints are reached.
- A ‘Full’ Bump Test (factory default), approximately 60 seconds gas duration, performs a full Bump Test of alarm setpoints and sensor response. This is followed up, if applicable, with an automatic calibration of failed gas ranges.
- A complete instrument calibration, approximately 60 seconds of gas duration. The unit can be free-standing on a workbench or secured to the workbench individually or in a daisy chain fashion using the mounting bracket and screws supplied with the unit.
Power is supplied to the rear of the unit via a 12V Universal Power Supply Unit (PSU) provided with the unit. A 12V Vehicle Power Supply is available as an accessory. Gas is connected to the marked inlet adaptor at the rear of the unit. An integral pump automatically draws gas into the instrument for bump/calibration operation. The user inserts the PS200 instrument to be tested into the Auto Bump / Calibration Station and then closes the cover, initiating the automatic testing process.
The Auto Bump / Calibration Station uses a traffic light system to display progress/results and thus provides the user with a clear indication of whether the PS200 meets selected parameters. i.e. LED 1 (Green) = ON (power) LED 2 (Orange) = TEST (in progress) LED 3 (Green) = PASS LED 4 (Red) = FAIL. The ‘PASS’ or ‘FAIL’ LEDs indicate the overall result.
GMI ‘PS200 Settings’ Software is a Windows™ based ‘stand-alone’ application allowing users to edit test parameters and view and print test results. This software will run on any PC / Laptop with Windows software installed (Net Framework 2.0 or higher may also be required on early Windows XP operating systems).
The Auto Bump / Calibration Station and USB memory stick have installed the necessary ‘PS200 Settings’ software. This pre-installed software is configured to factory default parameters. The software configuration parameters can be edited via PC or Laptop, and then the settings file is transferred to the Auto Bump / Calibration Station using the supplied USB memory stick. The software provides a complete audit trail of tested instruments, and the resulting data is retained in the station memory until downloaded to the USB memory stick before being transferred to any compatible PC / Laptop for long-term storage, review, and printing. The instrument ‘Cal Due’ date is also updated on the successful completion of calibration.
A Calibration Certificate can also be generated automatically after completing instrument testing.
A permanent PC connection is provided via a mini-USB socket at the rear of the Auto Bump / Calibration Station. An Ethernet socket is also provided at the rear of the unit to allow results to be gathered over a network. Both of these options require a ‘flexiCal Plus’ software package.
The Auto Bump / Calibration Station can also charge the instrument while the power supply is connected. This is indicated as a flashing battery symbol and ‘CHARGING’ on the instrument display. Charging will take up to 4 hours to complete. A full battery symbol and ‘CHARGING COMPLETE’ is displayed on completion. After charging, the instrument will not be damaged if left in the Auto Bump / Calibration Station.
