Safety Info – Read First

Use the detector only as specified in the manual and quick reference guide, otherwise, the protection provided by the detector may be impaired.
CAUTION

1. Caution: For safety reasons, this equipment must be operated and serviced by qualified personnel only. Read and understand the user manual completely before operating or servicing.
2. Charge the detector before first-time use. Honeywell Analytics recommends the detector be charged after every workday.
3. Calibrate the detector before first-time use and then on a regular schedule, depending on use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. The sensors must be calibrated regularly and at least once every 180 days (6 months).
4. Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas in an atmosphere of 20.9 % oxygen.
5. The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50% LEL methane. If monitoring a different combustible gas in the % LEL range, calibrate the sensor using the appropriate gas.
6. Only the combustible gas detection portion of this instrument has been assessed for performance by CSA International.
7. Protect the combustible sensor from exposure to lead compounds, silicones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Although certain organic vapors (such as leaded gasoline and halogenated hydrocarbons) may temporarily inhibit sensor performance, in most cases the sensor will recover after calibration.
8. Honeywell Analytics recommends that the combustible sensor be checked with a known concentration of calibration gas after any exposure to contaminants/poisons such as sulfur compounds, silicon vapors, halogenated compounds, etc.
9. Honeywell Analytics recommends bumping test the sensors before each day’s use to confirm their ability to respond to gas by exposing the detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated. Calibrate if the readings are not within the specified limits.
10. Caution: High off-scale LEL readings may indicate an explosive concentration.
11. Any rapid upscaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond upper scale limit, which can be hazardous.
12. For use only in potentially explosive atmospheres where oxygen concentrations do not exceed 20.9% (v/v).
13. Extended exposure of the Honeywell BW™ MaxXT II to certain concentrations of combustible gases and air may stress the detector element that can seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to a high
14. concentration of combustible gases, recalibration should be performed, or if needed, the sensor replaced.
15. The BW pump (XT-RPUMP-K1) is certified for use with the Honeywell BW™ MaxXT II only.
16. Dispose of used lithium cells immediately. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire. Do not mix with the solid waste stream. Spent batteries must be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler.
17. Keep lithium cells away from children.
18. Calibrations and bump tests can be performed using a 0.5 l/min. regulator or a demand flow regulator. If the demand flow regulator is used, it must meet the following maximum inlet pressure specifications:
    1. Disposable cylinders 0-3000 psig/70 bar
    2. Refillable cylinders 0-3000 psig/70 bar
19. Products may contain materials that are regulated for transportation under domestic and international dangerous goods regulations. Return product in compliance with appropriate dangerous goods regulations. Contact freight carrier for further instructions.
