Annual Test
To comply with the requirements of EN378 and the F GAS regulation sensors must be tested annually.
However local regulations may specify the nature and frequency of this test. If not the Danfoss
recommended bump test procedure should be followed. Contact Danfoss for details.
For increased accuracy the unit must be calibrated at the temperature of operation.
After exposure to a substantial gas leak, sensor should be checked and replaced if necessary.
Check local regulations on calibration or testing requirements.

Bump test A Bump Test consists of exposing the sensor to a gas. The objective is to establish if the sensor is reacting to the
gas and all the sensor outputs are working correctly. A qualified bump test is a test carried out using ampoules or
similar of known concentration.
