Safety
WARNINGS
lThe BW Flex Series detector with LEL-IR sensor (PN with W5) will not detect some
combustible gases like Hydrogen or Acetylene. For detectable combustible gases,See
"Combustible Sensor Information" on page49 for more information. If your application has
one or more of these hazards, please consult Honeywell Analytics to determine the best
solution.
lHigh off-scale LEL readings may indicate an explosive concentration.
CAUTION
lThe detector is a personal safety Device. It is your responsibility to respond properly to
lthe alarm.
lFor safety reasons, this equipment must be operated and serviced by qualified personnel
only.
lThe Li-ion battery in this product presents a risk of fire, explosion, and chemical burn if
misused. Do not disassemble, incinerate, or heat above 212°F (100°C). Batteries exposed to
heat at 266°F (130°C) for 10 minutes can cause fire and explosion. Batteries must only be
charged in a safe area free of hazardous gas.
lDeactivating the detector by removing the battery pack may cause improper operation and
harm the detector.
lUse only Honeywell approved battery chargers such as the vehicle Charger.
lDo not use the Detector if it is damaged. Inspect the Detector before use. Look for cracks
and missing parts.
lHoneywell 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 alarm activate. Calibrate if the
readings are not within the specified limits.
lProtect the catalytic combustible sensor from exposure to lead compounds, silicone, 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.
lHoneywell recommends the catalytic combustible sensor be checked with a known
concentration of calibration gas after any known exposure to catalytic contaminants ot
poisons (sulfur compounds, silicons vapors, halogenated compounds, etc.).
lThe catalytic 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.

FCC Compliance statement
This Detector complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This Detector may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this Detector must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
Detector, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his
own expense.

2Operations
Learn what you can do with your Honeywell BW™ Flex Series Detector, from commissioning to
Calibration.
Out of the Box First Run
This operation is only executed the first time the detector is turned on.
1. Turn on the Detector. LEDs flash red, Sensors warm up, and the Detector performs the
following Self-Tests: Battery, Firmware, BLE, Sensors, and Bump and Calibration due date.
2. After completing the Self-Test, you are asked to set the detector up in four ways: Manually,
BLE, IR Link, and IntelliDoX.
3. Single-press the button to select a setup method.
4. Press and hold the button to initiate the selected method. For a detailed description of each
method, go to See "Set Language, Time, and Date" below for more information.
5. After the initial setup is complete, the IntelliFlash flashes green every fifteen seconds, and the
detector goes to the Regular mode. You are now ready to select any operation from the main
menu.
Note: We strongly recommend to review the Alarm Settings after Start-Up.
Set Language, Time, and Date
Configure the Language, time, and Date in a new detector on the first run setup.
There are four ways to set the Time Zone and Language in a new detector:
lManual configuration via onscreen instructions.
lVia Device Configurator (DC) on a mobile device.
lVia Safety Suite Device Configurator (SSDC) on a computer.
lVia an IntelliDoX Docking Module. For further reference see the IntelliDoX User Manual.
