HONEYWELL BW™ RIGRAT
Transportable Multi-gas Area Monitor
Safety and Reliability
Comply with safety procedures and protect workers with the most user-friendly area monitor of its kind.
The Honeywell BW™ RigRat is designed for ease of use, allowing workers to operate it with confidence. It alerts users to gas threats in their proximity, whether indoors or outdoors, across a wide temperature range from -40 to +140°F (-40 to +60°C).
Key Features:
- Up to 8 weeks of runtime on a single charge, offering longer runtime than other area monitors in its class.
- Up to six slots for interchangeable gas sensors, supporting electrochemical, PID, infrared, and catalytic bead sensors (measuring percent LEL and percent by volume).
- Integrated Noise sensor and Metrological data sensors.
- Enhanced configurations with programmable input and output.
- Approval for explosive atmosphere, certified for ATEX/IECEx Zone 0 and CSA C1D1.
Versatile Applications and Operation
- Flexible applications: Suitable for zone declassification, turnarounds, confined space, routine maintenance, fence line monitoring, and more. Available with an optional pump for remote sampling.
- One-button operation: Designed for grab-and-go use with no expertise required.
- Simple smartphone setup: An easy-to-use mobile app allows for setting alarm points, accessing calibration records, and more.
- Added protection: Alerts workers to nearby gas leaks, providing broader coverage than personal detectors that only monitor the breathing zone.
Features and Benefits
Wireless Safety Perimeter
Position several Honeywell BW™ RigRat monitors to form a wireless safety perimeter.
Remote Monitoring
Use with Honeywell's remote monitoring software to view gas readings, location, and other data from any internet-connected device for fast, informed decisions. An optional noise sensor or meteorological sensor can be added.
Honeywell Touchpoint™ Plus Compatible
Use with the Honeywell Touchpoint™ Plus controller for visibility of Honeywell BW™ RigRat monitors and workers' personal detectors.
Additional Honeywell BW™ RigRat Features
- Line power option for extended runtime in the field.
- I/O ports providing additional input capabilities and local executive activation.
- Large, easy-to-read display.
- Inert mode that prevents alarm in normal ambient air.
- Rugged, weatherproof design, with an optional protective cage.
