How to fix a BW Technologies detector that does not activate?
If your BW Technologies detector doesn't activate, it might be due to depleted batteries. Try replacing the alkaline batteries to resolve this issue. Also, a damaged detector can be the reason. In this case, you should contact BW Technologies by Honeywell.
What to do if BW Technologies Other enters alarm immediately?
If your BW Technologies detector enters alarm immediately upon activation, several factors could be at play. First, the sensor may need time to stabilize; if it's a used sensor, wait 60 seconds, or if it's a new sensor, allow 5 minutes. The low battery or critical low battery alarm can also cause this problem, so try replacing the alkaline batteries. Also, you may be in a hazardous environment, so leave the area immediately and reactivate the detector in a safe area with 20.9% oxygen. Finally, if a new sensor has been inserted, calibrate the sensor.
Why does my BW Technologies detector automatically deactivate?
If your BW Technologies detector automatically deactivates, it could be due to automatic deactivation caused by a critically low battery. Replacing the alkaline batteries might solve the issue. Another cause may be that the Lockout on Self-Test Error is enabled, and a sensor has failed the startup self-test. In this case, you should refer to Replacing the Sensors on page 26 and Lockout on Self-Test Error in the GasAlertQuattro Technical Reference Guide. Also, the sensors may require calibration.
What to do if BW Technologies detector does not respond to pushbutton?
If your BW Technologies detector does not respond to the pushbutton, the battery might be in a critical low state or completely depleted, so try replacing the alkaline batteries. Also, the detector might be performing operations that do not require user input. In this case, pushbutton operation will restore automatically when the operation ends.
Why BW Technologies GasAlertQuattro Other does not accurately measure gas?
If your BW Technologies detector does not accurately measure gas, it might be because the sensors require calibration. Also, if the detector is colder or hotter than the gas temperature, allow the detector to attain ambient temperature before use. In addition, the sensor filter may be blocked.
What to do if BW Technologies detector does not display normal gas reading after startup?
If your BW Technologies detector does not display a normal gas reading after startup, the sensors may not be stabilized. If it is a used sensor, wait 60 seconds; if it is a new sensor, wait 5 minutes. The sensors may also require calibration. If the target gas is present, the detector is operating properly, so use caution in suspect areas.
Why does BW Technologies detector intermittently enter alarm without reason?
If your BW Technologies detector intermittently enters alarm without 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; in this case, the detector is operating normally, so use caution in suspect areas and check the peak gas exposure reading. The alarm setpoints may also be set incorrectly. Additionally, the sensors may require calibration. Finally, there might be missing or faulty sensors.
Why BW Technologies GasAlertQuattro Other does not enter alarm?
If your BW Technologies detector does not enter alarm, it could be because the alarm setpoints are set incorrectly or set to zero. Also, the detector might be in calibration mode; if so, complete the calibration procedure.
What to do if BW Technologies activation startup self-test fails?
If the activation startup self-test fails on your BW Technologies detector, it could be due to a general fault. In this case, contact BW Technologies by Honeywell. Alternatively, it could be a sensor error.
Why LCD display freezes on BW Technologies detector?
If the LCD display freezes on your BW Technologies detector, it may be because an external power supply or charger has been used to operate the detector for periods greater than 24 hours. If powering from an external source, power cycle the detector once every 24 hours to ensure proper operation. To power cycle the detector, press and hold C until OFF is displayed. Release C, then press and hold until the detector begins the start-up sequence. Do not use an external power source or charger to operate the detector in a hazardous environment, as the chargers are not certified for such environments.
