Webinar: The Fundamentals of Portable Gas Detection with Honeywell


Flammable and toxic gas detection instruments are generally available in two different formats: portable (spot reading) detectors and fixed (permanently sited) monitors. Selecting which is most appropriate for a particular application depends on several factors. Including how often the area is accessed by personnel, site conditions, whether the hazard is permanent or transitory, how often testing is needed, and last but not least, the availability of finances.<br/><br/>We've teamed up with Honeywell for this short webinar on Portable Gas Detection, where we cover:<br/>&bull; Characteristics and hazards of a confined space<br/>&bull; The 2 main functions of portable gas detectors<br/>&bull; The various applications<br/>&bull; What to do during alarms situations<br/>&bull; Potential contaminants for the sensors<br/>&bull; Calibration versus bump-test... The difference<br/>&bull; Using an IntelliDoX docking station<br/>&bull; Maintenance, cleaning, and service<br/>&bull; Extreme weather conditions... What to do

How to: Calibrate a BW Gas Detector


Calibration is pretty important: it re-establishes a base line for your sensors so the electrochemical and the LEL catalytic bead sensor need some kind of base line. That way it knows what a concentration of gas is. You want to make sure that you do your calibration fairly frequently, every 180 days is the manufacturer's default. learn more by watching this informative video.

How to: Bump Test a BW Gas Detector


A bump test is a physical verification that the sensors are responding to a set amount of gas and that your visual and audible alarms are going off as they should. You can hear and see them triggering and verify that everything is basically in operating order. Watch this video to see a live demonstration!

BW PS-RS04 Replacement Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Sensor for GasAlert Extreme & GasAlertMicro 5 PS-RS04
Replacement sulfur dioxide (SO2) sensor for the BW GasAlert Micro 5 and BW GasAlert Extreme. Installation only requires a screwdriver.




BW SR-W04-UF Replacement Combustible Sensor for GasAlertMicro 5, LEL SR-W04-UF
Replacement combustible (LEL) sensor without heavy duty silicone filter for the GasAlertMicro 5 series of BW gas detectors. Detectors are equipped on a standard basis with SR-W04 combustible sensors. This sensor includes a heavy duty silicone filter that make it ideal for use in environments that have known sources of silicone or vapors containing silicon. The SR-W04 silicone filter equipped sensor should not be used when monitoring diesel, kerosene, jet fuel or other heavy hydrocarbon vapors with flashpoint temperatures above 38°C (100°F).
Note: This sensor includes a 2 year warranty from BW Technologies.




BW SR-M04-SC Replacement Carbon Monoxide Sensor for GasAlertQuattro, CO SR-M04-SC
Replacement carbon monoxide (CO) sensors make gas detector maintenance easy. All you need is a small phillips screwdriver to install this replacement sensor in your BW GasAlert Quattro detector.




BW D4-RHM04 Replacement TwinTox Sensor, CO, H2S D4-RHM04
Replacement TwinTox sensor for the Micro 5 of BW gas detectors. The TwinTox sensor detects both carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and is what gives the Micro 5 it's fifth gas.
