BUMP TEST & CALIBRATION REMINDER WINDOW
What is the bump test and calibration reminder window?
A bump test and calibration reminder window can be customized from G7’s
configuration profile in Blackline Live. This setting will prompt the device to show
a bump test or calibration reminder alarm upon startup if one of these tests is due
within the configured window of time.
What is the purpose of the bump test and calibration reminder window?
Enabling this feature will help ensure G7 goes into alarm upon startup instead of
while it is in use in the field. If you have a daily bump interval your bump test will
be due in 24 hours. However, if you start your shift 2 hours early the following day,
you will not be prompted to bump your device as 24 hours has not elapsed. When it
becomes due, you may already be out in the field without bump test materials. If you
have a 2 hour bump test/calibration reminder window, G7 will go into yellow warning
alarm for bump test due on startup when the bump is due within this 2 hour window.
BUMP TEST AND CALIBRATION LOCK
What is the bump test and calibration lock?
In the case that an organization wants to make the device unusable when it is out of
compliance, the calibration or bump test lock can be enabled from G7’s configuration
profile in Blackline Live. This feature locks the device’s screen and all functionality
when a bump test or calibration is due on startup. This means the user cannot use
their device in any capacity (including gas readings, SOS latch, message sending) until
it has been bump tested or calibrated.
What if a bump test or calibration is due during my shift?
If a bump test or calibration comes due during your shift (not on startup), the device
will not lock as this is a safety hazard, since the user will not be able to use G7 to call
for help. The device will go into a yellow warning alarm for bump test or calibration
due, and the message will display in the banner, but the device will remain fully
functional.
