Honeywell BWRR100D BW RigRat Multi-Gas Monitor

User Interface

Functions are controlled via the front-panel button. The display shows information such as monitored threats, real-time readings and measurement units, alarm type (when in alarm, including cal. overdue), battery status, datalog (if on), and radio and connection quality (if available).

Note: Pumped version shown here

Charging The Instrument

Always fully charge the battery before use. In safe settings, use the AC Charge input with the included power adapter. Align the connector and plug and then press in and turn the ring until it clicks.

Make sure the charger is firmly attached. Then connect the AC Adapter’s plug to the charger, and plug its transformer into an AC outlet. For intrinsically safe charging via a SolarPak or Hazardous Area Charger, connect to the IS Charge input. While charging, the “battery” icon along the top of the screen is animated. When the battery is fully charged, the icon shows a full battery and does not animate. (Consult the User’s Guide for more details on charging.)
