	Monitors and Calibration Equipment (308) Follow These 3 Steps in Gas Detection. 1. Bump Test: Before you use your instrument, it's important that you know that the senor and alarms will function properly. The only way that you can be sure of this is to expose your instrument to a known concentration of gas and verify that it responds correctly. 2. Calibrate: Conditions such as temperature, humidity, age and gas exposure will all affect the output of your sensor. Calibrating your instrument compensates for these factors and guarantees that your reading are accurate. 3. Review Data: Almost all gas detectors in use today provide some form of datalogging. Information stored in your gas detector can provide keen insight into potential problems that may be hiding in your work environment.
