Introduction the Honeywell BW Solo
Honeywell BW™ Solo is an easy to service single gas detector with BLE connectivity that provides real-time visibility into the status and safety of hazardous-area workers, helping companies respond faster, more knowingly and decisively to safety incidents. Data from the detector or its docking station is downloadable to a PC, where it can be aggregated and managed through Honeywell’s Safety Suite software platform to automate key compliance tasks like regulatory records management.
Can detect up to 15 user-selected common and exotic gases. User-friendly operation, lightweight convenience and ease of maintenance and serviceability can lower long-term ownership cost of a gas monitoring system.
How to bump test the Honeywell BW Solo
- To bump test the Honeywell BW Solo, first assemble your equipment by screwing the flow regulator onto the gas cylinder, attaching the tubing to the regulator, and connecting it to the calibration cap/adaptor.
- Switch on the BW Solo by pressing and holding the main button, then wait for the startup to finish. From the main screen, double-click the button to enter the menu, scroll to “Bump”, and press and hold the button for 3 seconds to select it.
- The device will run a quick alarm test (audible, visual and vibration), and if these work correctly, select “Pass test” by pressing and holding the button to confirm.
- The display will then show “Apply Gas?”, so place the calibration cap firmly over the sensor, open the gas cylinder valve, and press and hold the button again to start the bump test. #
- A progress bar will appear while the test runs, and if successful the screen will show “Bump Passed”.
- When prompted, close the gas valve, remove the calibration cap by pulling the tab, and allow a few seconds for the sensor to clear the gas.
- Once complete, the device is ready to use again, and you can switch it off by pressing and holding the button if needed.
