Gas tester ensures compliance

The new T3 Gas Tester
ensures Crowcon’s Tetra:3
(T3) portable, multi-gas
detector complies with
relevant national/regional
safety regulations and
individual company
requirements.

The device feeds the T3’s
sensors a known
concentration of gas, a
process known as ‘bumping’,
to ensure the sensors are
working correctly. The way it
works is simple: when a T3 is
inserted into the Gas Tester,
the T3 automatically switches
into ‘bump’ mode and either
passes or fails. Once the test
is complete the T3 is
removed and the bump result
is then accepted by the user
and automatically logged in
the T3. When the test has
passed, the user is safe in the
knowledge their detector is in
good working order while, if
it fails the bump, it informs
the user that their instrument
needs to be re-calibrated or
serviced. All this is done
without requiring a power
supply, as the T3 detector
does all the work.

The Gas Tester can bump
for flammable, oxygen,
carbon monoxide, hydrogen
sulphide and carbon dioxide
sensors. Capable of testing up
to four gases within just 60
seconds, it is a fast and
simple way of ensuring all T3
detectors in a fleet are
working correctly. In
addition, the device also tests
that a T3’s visual and audible
alarms are working correctly.
