WatchGas SST1 Bump Test Starter SST1-BS
Description
Your crew can't bump-test their monitors if the bump station is back at the shop.
The WatchGas SST1 Bump Test Starter gives workers the ability to run a bump test at the detector, anywhere on site — no docking station, no apps, no network. One button. Instant go/no-go result. Every result logs automatically in the detector, building an audit trail without extra infrastructure.
What's included:
- SST1 Bump Test Starter accessory (attaches directly to the SST1/E monitor)
- One-button bump test activation — audible and visual pass/fail confirmation
- Automatic event logging in the monitor's memory
- Note: 3 AA batteries required, not included
When to use it:
- Field crews on confined-space entry work who can't return to a central calibration station before entry
- Mobile workers on dispersed job sites — onshore/offshore operations, utilities, maintenance, commissioning
- Supplementing a docking-station program: bump in the field, calibrate at the SST-DOCK when monitors return to base
PK Safety services the full WatchGas SST line with factory-trained technicians in-house. Call us at
800.829.9580 if you need help choosing between a bump test starter kit, a docking station setup, or a combination of both for your fleet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the WatchGas SST1 Bump Test Starter, and how does it work?
The SST1 Bump Test Starter is an accessory that attaches directly to a WatchGas SST1 or SST1/E single-gas monitor and lets a worker run a bump test at the detector — without a docking station, a network connection, or any software. Press the button, the starter releases a brief shot of calibration gas into the sensor, the monitor responds with audible and visual confirmation, and the result is logged in the monitor's memory. The starter runs on 3 AA batteries (not included).
What's the difference between a bump test starter and a docking station?
A bump test starter is a portable, standalone accessory for go/no-go field bump tests. It confirms the sensor responds to the target gas, but does not recalibrate the monitor if the response is out of spec. A docking station such as the
WatchGas SST-DOCK Touchscreen does both — bump test plus calibration if needed — and logs results with timestamps for fleet-wide compliance records. Many operations use both: a bump starter in the field for pre-entry checks, and a docking station at base for periodic full calibrations.
Which WatchGas monitors is the SST1 Bump Test Starter compatible with?
The SST1-BS is designed for the WatchGas SST1 and SST1/E single-gas monitor series. It is not compatible with the SST4 series (SST4-MICRO, SST4-MINI, SST4-PUMP) or SST5 multi-gas monitors — those monitors use a different docking-station calibration workflow. If you're unsure which accessory fits your monitor model, call PK Safety at
800.829.9580.
Does the bump test starter log results for compliance records?
Yes — every bump test result is logged automatically in the SST1 monitor's onboard memory with the date and outcome. This provides an auditable field record without spreadsheets or extra software. For fleets that need centralized logs with timestamps across multiple monitors, the
WatchGas SST-DOCK docking station with optional cloud connectivity provides fleet-wide visibility.

800.829.9580. A person who knows the SST line and the bump test workflow will pick up.
