Product Questions

The BW Solo single gas detector is a reusable monitor, designed to reduce costs whilst still ensuring workers are protected and compliant.

Please note: there are currently long lead times on the BW Solo HCN models. Check with our Sales Team for expected delays and up to date information.

This single gas detector is available in numerous configurations including O2, CO, H2S, NH3, CO2, SO2, HCN, CL2, NO, NO2, PH3, ETO, CLO2, O3 and H2. It has a typical battery life of 6-12 months, depending on the type of sensor chosen. The Solo is the first single gas detector to use 1-series sensors for CO, H2S and O2. This makes it highly accurate, fast-responding but at a low cost.

It’s easy to maintain and the sensors, batteries and sensor filters can be replaced without having to take the unit apart. There's an option to activate the Intelliflash or non-compliance flash to show at a glance that the unit is ready to be used in operation. It comes with a triple alarm system showing a visual alarm, vibrating alarm and audible alarm when gas is present.

Key Features

  • Can be used with the IntelliDox for automatic bump and calibration
  • Simple user interface which is easy to read

Honeywell BW Solo Serviceable Single Gas Detector (2024)

FAQs

What is the Honeywell gas detector solo? ›

Honeywell BW™ Solo is a 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.

How do I test my Honeywell gas detector? ›

Accuracy is tested by comparing a known concentration against the stabilized reading of the sensor with a known concentration of test gas. This test should be performed before calibration and several months after calibration to ensure that the instrument will perform acceptably throughout its life.

How do single gas detectors work? ›

How do Disposable Single Gas Detectors Work? The disposable single gas monitors use one single sensor to detect levels of one single gas type where the users can set the alarm set points to their gas detection needs.

Are single gas monitors designed to detect a single specific gas? ›

A single gas detector is basically measuring only one gas at a time with a single sensor. Many companies have put great care and thought witch dangers are present at a location or site. Single gas detectors offer a great solution for customers who know what they are dealing with.

How do I reset my Honeywell gas detector? ›

In order to reset a GasAlert Extreme, you just have to take off the battery and leave like that for 24 hours and then put the battery back again, that will reset the unit.

What is the difference between a gas tester and a gas detector? ›

The simple distinction between the two devices is that a gas detector is used to alert a user when the level of a certain gas is too high in a confined space, while a gas analyser is used to provide accurate readings of the immediate atmosphere.

Do gas detectors go bad? ›

Gas detection equipment won't last forever. Many sensors typically need to be replaced every two to three years as the components degrade over time. Cross-sensitivity to non-target gases can also lead to inaccurate results, including positive and negative readings.

What triggers a gas detector? ›

Catalytic and infrared sensors are able to detect combustible gases, and are more commonly used in everyday life. Catalytic sensors are triggered when a combustible gas touches a catalytic surface. A resistance change occurs due to heat and an alarm is set off.

How do I know if my gas detector is working? ›

Without a bump test, you can't know that the gas detector will perform the way you need it to. If the bump test fails, you know that you'll need to troubleshoot. However, bump tests do not check for accuracy. To check for accuracy, you must calibrate the gas detector.

What are the two main reasons for gas detector failure? ›

Gas interference: Cross interference from other gases can compromise the performance of a gas sensor, altering the calibration curve will result in false or inaccurate readings. Component failure: Like everything else your gas detectors are prone to wear and tear.

What is the life expectancy of a gas detector? ›

'Normal' Life Expectancy of Electrochemical Sensor

Electrochemical sensors for common gases such as carbon monoxide or hydrogen sulphide have an operational life typically stated at 2-3 years. More exotic gas sensor such as hydrogen fluoride may have a life of only 12-18 months.

What sets off a gas detector? ›

These are mainly programmed to sense one or a set of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, methane or hydrogen sulfide. However, gas detectors, mostly used in homes, are mainly designed to detect the presence or leakage of natural gas and carbon monoxide.

What is the difference between a gas detector and a personal gas detector? ›

Fixed Gas Detectors typically have a wider detection range and higher sensitivity, allowing them to detect low levels of gas over a larger area. Portable Gas Detectors have a narrower detection range and lower sensitivity due to their smaller size and portable nature.

What is the difference between single gas detector and multi gas detector? ›

Single gas detectors are monitoring one gas in particular — it could be Carbon Monoxide, Ammonia, Hydrogen Cyanide, or Sulfur Dioxide, among other gases. Often, single gas detectors are more compact and lightweight than a multi-gas detector and can be easily worn as part of your uniform or clipped to a belt.

What happens if your gas monitor detects gas? ›

When a certain temperature is reached, the sensors will set off an alarm. Infrared sensors use a series of transmitters and receivers to emit and detect IR light. If a gas is present in the optical path, it will interfere with the light and an alarm will sound.

What is the purpose of a portable gas detector? ›

Portable gas detectors are designed to be carried or worn clipped to an item of clothing. They form part of a person's PPE. This category of detector is a life safety device designed to provide alarms to the wearer when target gas levels exceed safety limits.

What does an LP gas detector do? ›

The detector monitors the particulates around your propane tank. The alarm sounds when it senses a higher particulate concentration or a dangerous level.
