The TS888/999 and TX888/999 test stations quickly and automatically perform the required function tests on Microtector III G888 and Polytector III G999 personal gas detection devices. The TX888/999 can also be used to adjust sensors with test gas. Both test stations are available with an optional charging function for the portable gas detectors. Gas detection devices make a significant contribution to safety, if they are tested every working day.
Before each use of a portable gas detection device, its operational capability must be checked with a function test ("bump test"). We developed the TS888/999 and TX888/999 test stations to make this process as simple, quick and cost-effective as possible for our G888 and G999 portable devices, while still complying with the DGUV information 213-056 (T021) and 213-057 (T023). During the bump test, the test station can be operated using the display and buttons of the inserted detector.
Bump test and adjustment
Ten seconds after a switched-on gas detection device has been inserted into either of the two test stations, the station will automatically start a function test. Within a maximum of 30 seconds, the alarms and response times are tested, the time and test interval are set, and the data is stored on a microSD card (optional). The device will then give you feedback about the test's success or, if applicable, any errors. The TX888/999 can also be used for sensor adjustment. Before starting the adjustment, the zero point of the sensors must be set with fresh air. The sensor sensitivity is then readjusted using the appropriate test gas.
