Honeywell BW Clip Real Time, Quick Reference Manual

Page: 3 / 4

Zero the Sensor
Over time and through use, the sensor baseline at zero exposure may drift from
the manufacturer’s baseline. For optimal performance of O2 models, Honeywell
recommends that you zero the O2 sensor once every 24 hours or when the
Automatic
Zero Reminder is displayed. For all other models, Honeywell recommends that you zero
the sensor periodically
Zero Procedure.
1. Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O
2
) that is free of
hazardous gas.
2. Press and hold the button until a 5 second countdown is
displayed, and then continue to hold until the countdown is
complete.
3. When the countdown is complete, the Zero procedure begins
and ZErO is displayed.
4. When Zero is successful, PASS and then CAL ? is displayed.
Press the button to calibrate, or wait for the detector to enter
normal operating mode after a 5 second countdown.
5. If Zero is not successful, the non-compliance LED flashes. FAIL
and the non-compliance warning symbol are displayed. Press
the button to acknowledge the result and return to normal
operation. The non-compliance warning symbol is displayed and
the non-compliance LED flashes. Perform the
Zero procedure
again. If the procedure fails again, contact Honeywell.
Bump Tests
When the detector is configured to display a bump test reminder, the bump test symbol
is displayed when a bump test is due. For best results, bump test the detector via an
IntelliDoX station. Bump tests performed via an IntelliDoX station are logged as bump
tests. Manual bump tests are logged as unsafe gas concentrations.
Calibration
By default, BW Clip Real Time is configured to use the following calibration gas mixtures:
H
2
S: 20 ppm
balance N
2
CO: 100 ppm
balance N
2
SO
2
:
20 ppm
balance N
2
O
2
:
18.0 % v/v O
2
You can use Safety Suite Device Configurator software via an IntelliDoX station to change a
detector’s default calibration gas mixtures. If the detector’s default calibration mixtures were
changed, use the gas mixture values from Safety Suite Device Configurator to calibrate the
detector.
1. Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O
2
) that is free of
hazardous gas.
2. Connect the calibration hose to the gas cylinder and to the
intake inlet on the calibration cap.
3. Press and hold the button until a 5 second countdown is
displayed, and then continue to hold until de countdown is
complete. The zero procedure begins and
ZErO is displayed.
When Zero is successful, PASS is displayed
4. When CAL ? is displayed, press the button to begin calibration.
5. Put the calibration cap on the sensor grill.
6. When
GAS ? is displayed, apply calibration gas for two minutes
at a recommended flow rate of 500 ml/min. When calibration is
successful,
PASS is displayed and the detector returns to normal
operating mode.
If calibration fails, non-compliance warning symbols are displayed.
Press the pushbutton to acknowledge. Repeat calibration. If it fails again, contact
Honeywell.
Event Logs
The detector stores the last 35 events that occurred, including peak readings, bump
tests, calibrations and auto zeros. Each record contains:
• detector serial number, sensor type and life-remaining;
• total number of events that have occurred;
• event type and duration;
• alarm level(s) in ppm or %;
• time elapsed since the alarm occurred in days/hours/minutes;
• duration of the alarm (minutes/seconds).
Use Safety Suite Device Configurator via an IntelliDoX station to transfer event logs from
the detector to a computer. When logs are transferred via an IntelliDoX station, the most
recent 35 events are transferred.
Optional Settings
Use Safety Suite Device Configurator via an IntelliDoX station to enable the following
optional settings for BW Clip Real Time detectors.
Non-compliance After Gas Exposure
When Non-compliance after gas exposure is enabled, the LEDs flash in an alternating
pattern when the sensor is exposed to a gas concentration that exceeds alarm setpoints.
When the gas exposure is detected, the top LEDs flash. After 30 seconds, the side LEDs
flash. After 30 seconds, the pattern repeats until more than 24 hours have passed since
the last alarm, or when a successful bump test is performed via an IntelliDoX station.
Real-time Clock Display
When real-time Clock Display is enabled, you can display the
current time by pressing the button to Recall Events and Settings,
and then continuing to press the button until the time is displayed.
Time may be displayed in 12-hour or 24-hour clock format.
Hibernation
Hibernation is a factory installed feature that is available for 24-month H
2
S and CO
detectors. When Hibernation is activated, the operating life countdown is suspended.
Use Hibernation to deactivate the detector for 7 days or longer, up to a maximum of 12
months. When Hibernation is activated, all detector safety functions are disabled.
Activate Hibernation via BW Clip Real Time
Hibernation Case
1. Have ready a BW Clip Hibernation Case. To purchase a Case,
contact Honeywell or an authorized distributor.
2. Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O
2
) that is free of
hazardous gas.
3. Verify that the detector is in normal operating mode.
4. Press the button to
Recall Events and Settings , and then
continue to press the button until Hib is displayed.
5. While Hib is displayed, press the button until a 5 second
countdown is displayed. When the countdown is complete, the
20-second
Hibernation counter is displayed.
6. While the Hibernation counter is displayed, place the detector into a BW Clip
Real Time Hibernation Case and then close the case firmly. The detector enters
Hibernation mode. All detector safety functions are disabled.
7. To reactivate the detector, open the case and remove the detector.
Activate Hibernation through Safety Suite Device
Configurator via IntelliDoX
1. Use Safety Suite Device Configurator to activate Hibernation on Insertion via an
IntelliDoX station, and then insert the detector in the configured station. The detector
event logs are retrieved, and the detector enters
Hibernation mode. All safety
functions are disabled, and the detector may be removed from the IntelliDoX station.
2. To reactivate the detector, press and hold the button until a 5 second countdown is
displayed, and then continue to hold until the LCD and LEDs turn on and off. The
detector performs a self-diagnostic test. When the test is successful, the type of gas
detected and the remaining operating life are displayed. The detector is in normal
operating mode.
3. For more information, refer to the operator manuals for the IntelliDoX station and
Safety Suite Device Configurator software.
