GasAlertQuattro
Introduction
GasAlertQuattro
Introduction
The operator’s manual provides basic information to operate
the GasAlertQuattro gas detector. For complete operating
instructions, refer to the GasAlertQuattro Technical Reference
Guide provided on the CD-ROM. The GasAlertQuattro gas
detector (“the detector”) is designed to warn of hazardous gas
levels above user-defined alarm setpoints.
The detector is a personal safety device. It is your responsibility
to respond properly to the alarm.
Note
The detector is shipped with English as the default
displayed language. Additional languages provided
are French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. The
screens for the additional languages are displayed on
the detector and in the corresponding operator’s
manual.

Safety Information - Read First
Use the detector only as specified in this operator’s manual and
the technical reference guide, otherwise protection provided by
the detector may be impaired. Read the following Cautions
before using the detector.
•Warning: Substitution of components may impair
Intrinsic Safety.
• Before using the detector, refer to Sensor Poisons and
Contaminants on page 8.
• 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.
• Caution: For safety reasons, this equipment must be
operated and serviced by qualified personnel only. Read
and understand the technical reference guide
completely before operating or servicing.
• If using the detector near its upper or lower operating
temperature, BW Technologies by Honeywell
recommends zeroing or activating the detector in that
environment.
• Charge the detector before first-time use. BW
recommends the detector be charged after every
workday.
• Do not use an external power supply or charger to
operate the detector for periods greater than 24 hours. If
powering from an external source, power cycle the
detector once every 24 hours to ensure proper
operation. To power cycle the detector, press and hold
Cuntil OFF is displayed. Release C, then press and
hold until the detector begins the start-up sequence.
• Do not use an external power source or charger to
operate the detector in a hazardous environment. The
chargers intended for use with the GasAlertQuattro
detector are not certified for use in hazardous or
potentially explosive environments.
• Calibrate the detector before first-time use and then on
a regular schedule, depending on use and sensor
exposure to poisons and contaminants. BW
recommends that the sensors must be calibrated
regularly and at least once every 180 days (6 months).
• Performance standards for European certification
EN 60079-29-2 and EN 45544-4 contain guidance on
implementing a suitable calibration routine.
• Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous
gas in an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.
• 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.
• Only the combustible gas detection portion of this
instrument has been assessed for performance by CSA
International.

GasAlertQuattro
Safety Information - Read First
• BW 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.
• BW recommends to bump 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, visual, and vibrator alarms are activated.
Calibrate if the readings are not within the specified
limits.
• For an additional bump test caution relating to the
European performance certification, refer to Bump Test
on page 12.
• Caution: High off-scale LEL readings may indicate an
explosive concentration.
• Any rapid upscaling reading followed by a declining or
erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration
beyond upper scale limit, which can be hazardous.
• For use only in potentially explosive atmospheres
where oxygen concentrations do not exceed 20.9%
(v/v). Oxygen deficient atmospheres (<10% v/v) may
suppress some sensor outputs.
• Extended exposure of the GasAlertQuattro 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
concentration of combustible gases, a calibration
should be performed, or if needed, the sensor replaced.
• Before using common products around sensors, refer
to Sensor Poisons and Contaminants on page 8.
• High concentrations of certain toxic gases, for example
H2S, may have an adverse effect on the LEL sensor.
This effect, known as inhibition, is usually temporary
but in extreme circumstances can impair the sensitivity
of the LEL sensor.
After any gas exposure that causes an alarm in the toxic
gas sensors, the LEL sensor should be verified with a
bump test, and recalibrated if necessary.
•Warning: The lithium battery (QT-BAT-R01) may present
a risk of fire or chemical burn hazard if misused. Do not
disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C), or incinerate.
•Warning: Do not use any other lithium batteries with the
GasAlertQuattro detector. Use of any other cell can
cause fire and/or explosion. To order and replace the
QT-BAT-R01 lithium battery, contact BW Technologies
by Honeywell.
•Warning: Lithium polymer cells exposed to heat at
266°F (130°C) for 10 minutes can cause fire and/or
explosion.

Bump Test
A bump test applies test gas to force the detector into alarm. A
bump test should be performed regularly to confirm the sensors
are responding correctly to gas, and that the audible, visual and
vibrator alarms activate during an alarm condition.
The detector can also prompt for a bump test during startup
when the Bump Test Interval is defined. Refer to the
GasAlertQuattro Technical Reference Guide.
BW recommends to bump test the sensors before each
day’s use to confirm their ability to respond to gas by
exposing the sensors to a gas concentration that exceeds
alarm setpoints.
To operate the detector in accordance with performance
requirements for European certification, the user must
complete a bump test before each day’s use.
(Per EN 60079-29-1 and EN 60079-29-2.)
