Honeywell BW™ RigRat
Transportable Multi-gas Area Monitor
Comply with safety procedures and protect workers with the most user-friendly area monitor of its kind.
The Honeywell BW™ RigRat is easy to use, allowing workers to operate it with confidence. It alerts them to gas threats in their proximity, indoors and out, in temperatures from -40 to +140°F (-40 to +60°C). The Honeywell BW™ RigRat delivers:
- Up to 8 weeks of runtime on a single charge, offering longer runtime than any area monitor 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.
- Flexible applications including zone declassification, turnarounds, confined space, routine maintenance, fence line, and more. Available with a pump for remote sampling.
- One-button operation for grab-and-go use with no expertise required.
- Simple setup with a smartphone via an easy mobile app for alarm set points, calibration records, and more.
- Added protection by alerting workers to nearby gas leaks, whereas personal detectors cover only the breathing zone.
