should be performmed annually on all EcoSensors products to ensure maximum accuracy and safety.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CAN I BUMP-TEST MY ECOSENSORS PRODUCT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, most EcoSensors products measure ozone.\u00a0 A small ambient air ozone generator can be used to bump test the sensor.\u00a0 These are low cost and readily available.<\/p>\n<p>The C-21, and C-12 are VOC sensors.\u00a0 A simple Sharpie marker near the sensor will be a great bump test.\u00a0 Sufficient VOC gasses are emiited from an uncapped marker to bump-test these sensors.<\/p>\n<p><a
