Why doesn't my BW Technologies Security Sensor accurately measure gas?
- N
  Nancy HoffmanAug 15, 2025
  If your detector isn't accurately measuring gas, there are several potential causes. First, the detector might need calibration. Second, the detector might be either colder or hotter than the ambient gas; allow it to reach ambient temperature before use. Third, the sensor screen could be blocked, so clean it. Finally, the alarm setpoints may be set incorrectly or set to zero; reset them.

How to fix a BW Technologies Security Sensor that does not activate?
- M
  Matthew DanielsAug 18, 2025
  If your detector isn't activating, it could be due to several reasons: there might be no battery installed, the battery could be depleted, the detector itself might be damaged or defective, or the battery might be reversed. Install or replace the battery, ensuring it's correctly oriented. If the detector is damaged, contact BW Technologies by Honeywell.

What to do if my BW Technologies GasAlert Extreme intermittently enters alarm mode?
- D
  Diana WilkersonAug 22, 2025
  If your detector is intermittently entering alarm mode without a clear reason, it could be because ambient gas levels are near the alarm setpoint, or the sensor is exposed to a puff of the target gas. The detector may be operating normally, so use caution in suspect areas and check the MAX gas exposure reading. It could also be caused by incorrectly set alarms, in which case you should reset the alarm setpoints. Finally, a missing or faulty sensor can cause this issue, so replace the sensor if necessary.

Why doesn't my BW Technologies Security Sensor display a normal ambient gas reading?
- T
  Tiffany SmithAug 26, 2025
  If your detector isn't displaying a normal ambient gas reading after the activation self-test, it could be due to a few reasons. The target gas might be present, indicating the detector is operating properly, so use caution in suspect areas. Alternatively, the detector might need calibration, or the sensor might not be stabilized. If the sensor is used, wait 60 seconds; if it's new, wait 5 minutes.

Why does my BW Technologies Security Sensor enter alarm mode immediately?
- R
  Ryan PayneAug 27, 2025
  If your detector immediately enters alarm mode upon activation, it could be due to a few reasons: the sensor might need time to stabilize (wait 60 seconds for a used sensor or 5 minutes for a new one), there may be a low battery alarm (replace the battery), or there could be a sensor alarm (replace the sensor).

What to do if BW Technologies Security Sensor buttons are not responding?
- K
  Katherine FoxAug 31, 2025
  If the push buttons on your detector aren't responding, it could be because the battery is depleted, so replace it. Alternatively, the detector might be performing operations that don't require user input; in this case, pushbutton operation will restore automatically when the operation ends.

What if the BW Technologies GasAlert Extreme Security Sensors start up self-test fails?
- J
  janet40Sep 2, 2025
  If the start-up self-test fails during one of the checks, it could be due to a general fault. In this case, contact BW Technologies by Honeywell. Alternatively, the alarm setpoints might be incorrect, so reset them.

Why does my BW Technologies Security Sensor automatically deactivate?
- S
  Sarah HendersonSep 6, 2025
  If the detector automatically deactivates, it's likely because the automatic shutdown feature has been activated due to a depleted battery. Replace the battery to resolve this issue.

Why is the sensor reading erratic on my BW Technologies device?
- M
  Matthew TrujilloSep 9, 2025
  If the sensor reading is erratic, the sensor may be expired. In this case, you should change the sensor.

  Mark MccarthySep 12, 2025
  If the detector does not auto zero or calibrate, the sensor may be expired and needs to be changed.
