Safety Information

CAUTION READ THIS FIRST

Use the detector only as specified in this manual, otherwise the protection provided by the detector may be impaired.

• Only the instrument capable of sounding the alarms and showing readings on a display should be used for immediate safety critical use. Wireless communication and infrastructure are only for informational monitoring.
• Use only Honeywell approved batteries (order number: HU-BAT (P/N: 50122982-130) with the Honeywell BW™ Ultra detector. Using any other battery can cause an explosion or fire.
• The lithium battery in this product presents a risk of fire, explosion, and chemical burn if misused. Do not open, crush, disassemble, incinerate, or heat above 100°C (212°F). Batteries exposed to heat at 130°C (266°F) for 10 minutes can cause fire and explosion. Follow the manufacturer's instruction. Batteries must only be charged and/or replaced in a hazardous free area.
• Deactivating the detector by removing the battery pack may cause improper operation and harm the detector.
• Use only Honeywell approved battery charger, that is certified for SELV/LVLC (isolated) with an output Um of 6.3 V.
• If using the detector near its upper or lower operating temperature, Honeywell recommends zeroing or activating the detector in that environment.
• Charge the detector before first-time use. Honeywell recommends the detector also be charged after every workday.
• Calibrate the device on a regular schedule, depending on use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. Honeywell recommends calibrating at least once every six months.
• For optimal performance, periodically zero the sensor in a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O₂) that is free of hazardous gas.
• The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50% LEL methane. If monitoring a different combustible gas in the % LEL range, calibrate the sensor using the appropriate gas.
• Only the combustible gas detection portion of this detector has been assessed for performance by CSA standard.
• Honeywell recommends that the combustible sensor is checked with a known concentration of calibration gas after any exposure to contaminants/poisons such as sulfur compounds, silicone vapors, halogenated compounds, etc.
• Honeywell recommends that the sensors be bump tested before each day's use to confirm their ability to respond to gas. Manually verify that the audible, visual, and vibrator alarms are activated. Calibrate if the readings are not within the specified limits.
• The detector is designed for use only in potentially explosive atmospheres where oxygen concentrations do not exceed 20.9% (v/v). Oxygen deficient atmospheres (<10% v/v) may suppress some sensor outputs.
• Extended exposure of the detector to certain concentrations of combustible gases and air may stress the detector element and seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to a high concentration of combustible gases, a calibration should be performed. If necessary, contact Honeywell service representative to replace the sensor.
• High concentrations of certain toxic gases, for example, H₂S, may hurt the LEL sensor. This effect, known as inhibition, is usually temporary but in extreme circumstances can impair the sensitivity of the LEL sensor after any gas exposure that causes alarm in the toxic gas sensors.

WARNINGS

• FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE OPERATED AND SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING OR SERVICING.
• Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
• Protect the combustible sensor from exposure to lead compounds, silicones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Although certain organic vapors (such as leaded gasoline and halogenated hydrocarbons) can temporarily inhibit sensor performance, in most cases the sensor will recover after calibration.
• The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) requires the LEL sensor to be bump tested before each day's use with calibration gas containing between 25% and 50% LEL. The instrument must be calibrated if the displayed LEL value during a bump test fails to fall between 100% and 120% of the expected value for the gas.
• High off-scale LEL readings may indicate an explosive concentration.
• Any rapid up scaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond the upper scale limit, which can be hazardous.
• Products may contain materials that are regulated for transportation under domestic and international dangerous goods regulations. Return product in compliance with appropriate dangerous goods regulations. Contact freight carrier for further instructions.
• Dispose of used lithium cells immediately. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire. Do not mix batteries with the solid waste stream. Spent batteries should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Keep children away from the lithium cells.
• The pellistors used in the Catalytic flammable gas sensor can suffer from a loss of sensitivity when in the presence of poisons or inhibitors, e.g. silicones, sulphides, chlorine, lead or halogenated hydrocarbons.
• DO NOT rely on the Bluetooth BW Ultra output indication for security purposes.
• DO NOT use the screen protector in the hazardous location. The screen protector must be removed in the explosive atmospheres.
• The accessories (e.g., fitting mini quick-connector to 1/8", fitting male Luer-lock to 1/8" etc.) are not the scope of intrinsic safe certification
• Do not install or remove any components when an explosive gas atmosphere is present.

CAUTION

• The Honeywell BW™ Ultra is provided with an antistatic coating over the LCD window to minimize the risk of ignition due to electrostatic discharge. Periodic inspection of this coating is required to ensure no degradation, delamination, abrasions or other deformities to this surface.
• Care must be taken to avoid exposure to excessive heat, harsh chemicals or solvents, sharp edges and abrasive surfaces. Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
• Portable safety gas detectors are life safety devices. The accuracy of ambient gas reading(s) is dependent upon factors such as accuracy of the calibration gas standard used for calibration and frequency of calibration.
• When Honeywell BW™ Ultra detector is equipped with Infrared (IR) sensor, do NOT use BW Ultra at an atmospheric pressure exceeding 110 kPa (1.1 bar). The IR sensor used in the detector is intended for use at atmospheric pressure and shall not be used in pressures exceeding 110 kPa (1.1 bar).
• DO NOT rely on the Bluetooth BW Ultra output indication for security purposes.

French Warnings (Translated):

• CAUTION: For safety reasons, this equipment must be used, maintained, and repaired only by qualified personnel. Read the entire instruction manual before using, maintaining, or repairing the equipment.
• Warning: Replacing a component of the device may alter its intrinsic safety.
• To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, cut off electrical power before any maintenance.
• Warning: To reduce the risk of ignition in flammable atmospheres, batteries must be charged in a safe area, free of dangerous gases.
• Protect the combustible gas sensor from exposure to lead compounds, silicones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Although certain organic vapors (like leaded gasoline or halogenated hydrocarbons) can temporarily inhibit sensor performance, in most cases the sensor will recover its normal function after calibration.

Acknowledge alarms and messages

Press and release the button to perform any of the following:

• To acknowledge a latching alarm
• To acknowledge a low alarm
• To acknowledge due today message (for example, calibration and bump test reminders). Note that the force calibration and force bump test features cannot be bypassed.

Latching Alarms

If enabled, during an alarm condition the Latching Alarms option causes the low and high gas alarms (audible, visual, and vibrator) to persist until the alarm is acknowledged and the gas concentration is below the low alarm setpoint. The LCD displays the peak concentration until the alarm no longer exists. Local regulations in your region may require the Latching Alarms option be enabled. The detector is shipped with the Latching Alarms option disabled.

Calibrate the detector

Perform a calibration to adjust the sensitivity levels of sensors and ensure accurate responses to gases. The detector can be calibrated in two ways:

• Apply gas from a cylinder to the sensors manually through the pump inlet.
• Use an IntelliDoX module.

Before you begin: Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O₂) that is free of hazardous gas.

1. Go to the main menu and select > Start Calibration.
2. Press and hold the button for three seconds to display the Powering Off countdown and continue to hold for the Starting Calibration countdown. The detector will enter the zero function.

4. Confirm that you want to apply Nitrogen to zero CO₂.
5. When Apply calibration gas now is displayed, apply the gas and wait for a maximum of five minutes. The detector first tests for a specific type of gas. When it detects enough of that gas for sensor calibration, a check box will be displayed next to that gas. Calibration then begins. Gas values will adjust on the screen during the calibration.
6. When Turn gas off is displayed, disconnect the device from gas. Check marks will be displayed next to the calibrated sensors. These sensors reset to the number of days until the next calibration is due (for example, 180 days). The calibration cycle will take about two minutes after which the user will be prompted to Press button to continue.
7. If the calibration was successful, Calibration Passed will be displayed. Press the button to exit calibration. If the calibration failed for some or all of the gases, either a Cal Error All gases applied mixed results message (if the detector was not successfully calibrated for all gases) or a Fail all gases message will be displayed. After the button is pressed, a Cal overdue message will be displayed.

Start a Bump Test

Perform a bump test regularly to test sensors and alarms. To bump test, expose the sensors to a gas concentration that exceeds alarm setpoints and confirm that the sensors and alarms work correctly. The detector can be bump tested in two ways:

• Apply gas from a cylinder to the sensors manually through the pump inlet.
• Use an IntelliDoX module.

Perform a manual bump test

Before you begin: Connect the calibration hose to a demand flow regulator on the gas cylinder.

1. Double-press the button and select > Start Bump test.

5. If you want to apply gas, follow on-screen instructions. Wait for about 30 seconds; gas measurements are displayed for each pertinent gas sensor. A Bump Test pass confirmation is displayed.
6. After the Turn gas off message is displayed, remove the hose from the pump inlet. The detector will remain in alarm until the gas clears from the sensors. Bump test results are displayed showing check marks next to the tested sensors. These sensors reset to the number of days until the next Bump Test is due.
7. Press the button to finish the procedure.

CAUTION Honeywell recommends to bump test the sensors before each day's use to confirm their ability to respond to gas by exposing the sensors to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints.

Set up IntelliFlash

The IntelliFlash® feature causes the detector, if it is in compliance (for example, bump tested and calibrated), to flash a green light every second (the factory setting default) from the top visual alarm indicator. In Fleet Manager II, use the IntelliFlash Interval option to change how often the detector flashes.

Set up Reverse IntelliFlash

IntelliFlash flashes a green light when the detector is in compliance, but Reverse IntelliFlash® flashes an amber light when the detector is not in compliance (a bump test or calibration is overdue, or a sensor is not working and has been overridden). Use Fleet Manager II to change how often the detector flashes for Reverse IntelliFlash. IntelliFlash and Reverse IntelliFlash can be configured in one of four scenarios:

• Scenario 1: When both IntelliFlash and Reverse IntelliFlash are enabled, the detector's green LED will flash until it goes out of compliance, then its amber LED will flash instead.
• Scenario 2: If IntelliFlash is enabled and Reverse IntelliFlash is disabled, the detector's green LED flashes until it goes out of compliance, then it stops flashing.
• Scenario 3: If IntelliFlash is disabled and Reverse IntelliFlash is enabled, neither LED will flash while the detector is in compliance. The amber LED will flash if it goes out of compliance.
• Scenario 4: When both IntelliFlash and Reverse IntelliFlash are disabled, neither LED will flash under any circumstances.

Set up the Confidence and Compliance Beep interval

The Confidence Compliance Beep is a sound that tells the user the detector is in compliance (for example, bump tested and calibrated). In Fleet Manager II use the Confidence/Compliance Beep option to change how often the detector beeps for Confidence Compliance Beep.

Configure the Detector

You can configure the Honeywell BW™ Ultra detector's device and sensor using Fleet Manager II.

Necessary to configure detector settings:

• Honeywell BW™ Ultra detector
• IR Link adapter or IntelliDoX docking station
• Computer with Fleet Manager II software installed.

For device settings, a startup message can be added; Confidence Compliance Beep can be activated, bump tests can be forced, stealth mode can be enabled, etc. For sensor settings, the calibration gas type and frequency can be changed, the bump test interval and alarm setpoints can be set, STEL and TWA can be selected, etc. You can perform some other calibrations with Fleet Manager II.

Note: When the operator configures the Honeywell BW™ Ultra using FleetManager II, Honeywell strongly recommends reviewing the detector's settings before the operation to ensure that settings were applied successfully and comply with performance requirements.

Custom configuration created in Fleet Manager II can be used to configure detector settings. Example: Five detectors must have the same bump test reminders and alarm setpoints. Each detector could be configured separately or Fleet Manager II can be utilized to create a custom settings configuration. This configuration can then be loaded on each detector. This saves time and allows settings to be managed from one location.

Connect With IntelliDoX

If a detector's calibration is overdue and the forced calibration feature is enabled, the calibration can be performed with an IntelliDoX docking station or through the calibration option from the detector's main menu.

Connect With an IR Link

The detector can be paired with an IR link, aka dongle. There is an IR connection at the bottom of the detector that allows FleetManager II configurations to be efficiently transferred to multiple detectors. The IR link will also allow new firmware to be transferred to detectors or data/event logs to be transferred to FleetManager II.

Note: You should have the IR Connectivity Kit (sold separately) to transfer the data from a computer to the detector.

Select an operation mode

The detector can be used in one of three modes: Essentials mode, Hole Watch mode, and Inert mode.

Note: Honeywell BW™ Ultra always monitors gas levels, regardless of the operating mode. If the detector detects a sudden gas exposure, it will flash, vibrate, and produce a loud siren noise. A gas level alarm takes precedence over all of the detector's other functions.

• Essentials mode: The detector only shows the gas readings.
• Hole Watch mode: The Hole Watch mode is the default operating mode. It is used for confined space monitoring. Use Hole Watch mode to monitor all gas levels in the same screen view. Hole Watch mode uses bar graphs that fill when the detector detects rising gas concentrations.
  • When the detector detects normal gas levels, Hole Watch mode displays empty bar graphs.
  • When the detector detects non-critical gas levels, Hole Watch mode displays filling bar graphs.
  • When the detector activates a single gas alarm, Hole Watch mode highlights the detected gas level for that gas in a solid bar.
  • When the detector activates a multiple gas alarm, Hole Watch mode continues to display the first detected gas level, as well as highlight other detected gas levels in a solid bar.
  • For oxygen, Hole Watch mode displays low and high levels in a bar graph. As the detector detects a low oxygen level, the bar graph fills toward LO.
  • As the detector detects a high oxygen level, the bar graph fills toward HI.
• Inert mode: You can configure Inert Mode in Fleet Manager II. The threshold for operation is 10%. If oxygen readings fall below 10%, the detector prompts the user to enter the Inert mode. The detector does not start automatically in Inert Mode. When the detector goes into Inert Mode, the alarms setpoint get activated. If the detector does not enter in Inert mode, The O₂ readings are considered normal.

Bluetooth Pairing

The user can pair the Honeywell BW™ Ultra to a mobile device via built in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The Honeywell Safety Communicator app, installed on the mobile phone, can then show gas readings and alarms from the Honeywell BW™ Ultra unit that is connected. Readings and alarms can then be sent to Honeywell's remote monitoring software.

1. On the mobile device, turn on the Bluetooth connection and look for available detectors. On the Honeywell BW™ Ultra, the Bluetooth connection is on by default.
2. On the mobile device, select the detector and then enter the last six digits from the detector's serial number.

Note: Pairing is not allowed at start up, during calibration, or bump test.

Warning: Wireless communication and infrastructure should be used as informational monitoring only.

Replace a Sensor

Use only sensors designed by Honeywell for the Honeywell BW™ Ultra detectors. Replace the sensors in a non-hazardous location. The Honeywell BW™ Ultra detector can be configured for a maximum of 5 gases and may contain dummy sensors.

Review Logs

Many of the detector events are logged and can be reviewed via IntelliDoX or BLE. Typical logged events would be:

• bump test failed
• last calibration failed
• calibration forced
• calibration error
• sensors in alarm
• sensors zeroed
• self-test failed
• calibration overdue
• calibration cancelled
• calibration passed
• system reset
• event logs vs. data logs
• "Turn cal gas off..." message is displayed

Maintenance

Maintenance

Perform the following tasks to maintain the detector in good operating condition:

• Calibrate, bump test, and inspect the detector on a regular schedule.
• Maintain an operations log of all maintenance, bump tests, calibrations, and alarm events.
• Keep the exterior of the detector clean.

Gas Cylinder Guidelines

• Use a premium-grade calibration gas that is approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
• Verify the expiration date on the cylinder before use.
• Do not use an expired gas cylinder.
• Contact Honeywell if a certified calibration of the detector is required.

Charge the Battery

You can charge the battery using the provided charging adapter, that is certified for SELV/LVLC (isolated) with an output Um of 6.3 V. It can take up to 8 hours to get the battery fully charged in a temperature range from 5 °C to 35 °C.

Note: If you charge with the power on, charging may not be completed within 8 hours.

Maintain the Battery

Lithium-ion batteries do not respond well to cycles of full discharge followed by a full charging cycle. Recharge the battery before it is exhausted. Do not charge the battery at low or elevated temperatures. 30°C (86°F) is considered an elevated temperature and should be avoided whenever possible. A rechargeable battery's runtime decreases approximately 20% over a two-year period of typical use.

Real Time Clock Display

The real time clock is displayed in the upper left corner of the detector's screen. It is configurable through FleetManager II in 12- or 24-hour formats. The date display can also be configured in several formats through FleetManager II. The time/date information is retained even when the detector's battery is being changed.

Languages

Honeywell BW™ Ultra supports eight languages: English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Italian, Dutch, Slovak, Czech, Polish, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Turkish, and Arabic. These are configurable through FleetManager II. Custom startup text can be entered in all languages except Simplified Chinese through FleetManager II.

Troubleshooting

This section provides solutions for common problems encountered with the detector.

Glossary

ACGIH: The ACGIH method is defined as the infinite (total) accumulated average, whether it is 2 hours or 8 hours.

BLE: Bluetooth Low Energy.

Bump test: A compliance test that confirms the detector's ability to respond to target gases by exposing the detector to a known gas concentration. Other procedures that are specified to occur automatically when the detector is inserted into a docking module may be performed in conjunction with the bump test.

Calibration: A two-step compliance test that determines the measurement scale for the detector's response to gas. In the first step, a baseline reading is taken in a clean, uncontaminated environment. In the second step, the sensors are exposed to known concentrations of gas. The detector uses the baseline and known gas concentrations to determine the measurement scale.

Datalog: A datalog is a file that contains detailed, date-stamped records related to detector operations and configuration settings. The datalog is continuously updated. Records that span the operating life of the detector are retained.

Event log: An event log is a file that contains detailed, time-stamped records data related to gas events, and compliance tests. The event log is updated when an event occurs. A specified number records for the most recent events are retained.

Fleet Manager: A proprietary, Windows-based software developed by Honeywell to configure and manage docking modules, calibration, bump tests, and data logs. Fleet Manager II is available for download from www.honeywellanalytics.com

Gang: A group of two to five connected IntelliDoX modules. Modules that are connected share power, network and gas connections.

IntelliDoX Docking Module: An automatic bump test and calibration docking station for use with portable gas detectors manufactured by Honeywell.

IR: Infrared. IR is an invisible radiant energy that can be used for short- range wireless communications between enabled devices.

LCD: Liquid crystal display. LCD is a technology that is commonly used for display screens on mobile digital devices.

Normal atmosphere: A fresh air environment with 20.9% v/v oxygen (O₂) that is free of hazardous gas

Operating Life: The period of operational use required to attain the specified operating limit. Operating life includes normal operating time, alarm time, and all types of idle time.

OSHA: The US OSHA method is defined as a moving average that accumulates over an 8-hour average. If the worker is in the field longer, the oldest accumulated values (first hour) are replaced by the newest values (ninth hour). This continues for the duration of the work shift until the detector is deactivated.

PPM: Parts per million, a measure of concentration.

Reboot: Restart the operating system for the module

Service Life: The expected lifetime of a product, as specified by the manufacturer.

Station: An area or zone dedicated to a specific activity. A compliance testing station may contain several IntelliDoX modules and gangs of connected modules.

Stealth mode: When enabled, the backlight, visual alarms, and audible alarms are disabled. During an alarm, the vibrator activates and readings are displayed on the LCD.

STEL: The Short-Term exposure Limit is the maximum permissible gas concentration a worker can be safely exposed to for short periods of time (5-15 minutes maximum).

TWA Alarm: The time-weighted average (TWA) is a safety measure used to calculate accumulated averages of gases. Using the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) method or the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH) method, an average is calculated to ensure the detector alarms when the TWA has accumulated.

V/V: Volume percent concentration.
