Adhere to safety procedures and protect workers with the most user-friendly area detector of its kind.
The Honeywell BW™ RigRat detector is so easy to use that workers can operate it with confidence, knowing it will alert them to gas hazards in their vicinity – indoors or outdoors, in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C. The Honeywell BW™ RigRat detector offers:
- Up to 8 weeks of operation on a single charge.
- Longer operating time than any other area detector in its class.
- Up to six universal sensor ports for gas sensors. Choose from electrochemical, PID, and infrared sensors, and sensors with catalytic bead (measuring LEL in percent and percent volume).
- Integrated noise sensor and meteorological sensors.
- Highly configurable with programmable input and output.
- Explosion-proof approval. Certified for ATEX/IECEx, Zone 0 and CSA C1D1.
- Flexible use. Accessing zones, confined spaces, maintenance, turnarounds, and more. Available with a remote sampling pump.
- One-button operation. Pick up and go. No specialized knowledge required.
- Easy smartphone setup. An intuitive mobile app for alarm activation points, calibration records, and more.
- Enhanced protection. It alerts workers to gas leaks in their vicinity, while personal detectors only cover the breathing zone.

Functions and Benefits
Wireless Safety Network
Deploy multiple Honeywell BW™ RigRat detectors to create a wireless network.
Remote Monitoring
To view gas readings, location, and other data from any internet-connected device and make quick, informed decisions, use a device with remote monitoring software. Add an optional noise sensor and meteorological sensor.
Other Functions of the Honeywell BW™ RigRat Detector:
- Line-powered for extended field operation.
- Input/output ports provide additional options for local command activation.
- Inert mode, which prevents false alarms in normal ambient air.
- Large, easy-to-read display.
Compatible with Honeywell Touchpoint™ Plus Controller
Use with the Honeywell Touchpoint™ Plus controller to view Honeywell BW™ RigRat detectors and workers' personal detectors.
Rugged, waterproof construction with an optional protective cage.
