SINGLE-GAS DETECTOR
Part Number 50115903-067 | OM-EN-PALO-A4 | BW Clip Operator Manual
BW Clip is a portable, single-gas detector manufactured by
BW Technologies by Honeywell (BW). BW Clip continuously measures
the concentration of a specic gas in the ambient environment, and
activates an alarm when concentrations exceed alarm setpoints. It is your
responsibility to respond appropriately to the alarms.
BW Clip is a member of the GasAlert family of products. It is compatible
with IntelliDoX and MicroDock II automatic test and calibration stations,
as well as Fleet Manager II software version 4.0 or higher. For more
information, visit the product website at www.honeywellanalytics.com
Safety Information: Read First
1. Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
2. Periodically test the response of the sensor by exposing the detector
to a target gas concentration that exceeds the low alarm setpoint.
Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated.
3. Detectors in hibernation mode are not functional.
1. Activate the detector before the activation date on the package.
2. This product is a gas detector, not a measurement device.
3. Ensure that the sensor grill is free of dirt, debris, and is not obstructed.
4. Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
5. Bump test the detector in a normal atmosphere that is free of
hazardous gas.
6. For optimal performance, periodically zero the sensor in a normal
atmosphere (20.9% v/v O
2
) that is free of hazardous gas.
Informations de sécurité – À lire au préalable
AVERTISSEMENT
1. Le remplacement d’un composant de l’appareil peut compromettre la
sécurité intrinsèque du détecteur.
2. Testez périodiquement la réponse du capteur en exposant le détecteur
à une concentration de gaz supérieure au seuil d’alarme basse. Vériez
manuellement que les alarmes sonores et visuelles sont activées.
3. Détecteurs en mode veille prolongée ne sont pas fonctionnels.
MISE EN GARDE
1. Activez le détecteur avant la date d’activation sur l’emballage.
2. Ce produit est un détecteur de gaz, pas un dispositif de mesure.
3. Veillez à assurer que la grille du capteur est exempt de saleté, les
débris, et ne soit pas obstrué.
4. Nettoyez l’extérieur de l’appareil à l’aide d’un chiffon doux et humide.
5. Veillez à effectuer un test fonctionnel du capteur dans une atmosphère
normale qui est exempte de gaz dangereux
6. Pour des performances optimales, zéro périodiquement le capteur
dans une atmosphère normale (20,9% v/v O
2
) qui est exempte de gaz
dangereux.
