dualsense ™ technology
New Bump test recommendation
The Tango incorporates
revolutionary patent pending
DualSense Technology which
includes two of the same type
sensor for the detection of a single gas. The
two sensor readings are processed through
a proprietary algorithm and displayed as
a single reading to the user. DualSense
Technology was developed to address the
major challenge of making sure workers
are always using fully functioning, reliable
instruments in the field. Until Tango, that
required a bump test of the instrument before
each day’s use. DualSense Technology
ensures that regardless of your current bump
test policy, you will be significantly safer with
the Tango than with any other single gas
instrument on the market today*.
Instruments without DualSense Technology:
Based on the data in the chart, Industrial Scientific
recommends that a bump (functional) test be
performed prior to each day’s use for all instruments
without DualSense Technology. If conditions do not
permit daily testing, bump tests may be done less
frequently based on instrument use, exposure to
gas, and environmental conditions.
The frequency of testing of instruments without
DualSense Technology is best determined by
company policy or local regulatory agencies.
Instruments with DualSense Technology:
Regardless of bump test frequency (from daily to
monthly), Industrial Scientific’s instruments with
DualSense Technology are safer than traditional
instruments without the technology. The frequency
of bump testing for instruments with DualSense
Technology is best determined by company policy or
local agencies based upon regulatory, environmental
and other company-specific factors.
These conclusions and recommendations are based on
field data, safe work procedures, industry best practices
and regulatory standards to ensure worker safety.
