CHAPTER
1Introduction
Learn what you need to know about the Honeywell BW™ Icon Gas Detector before operating.
Product Description
The Honeywell BW™ Icon & Honeywell BW™ Icon+ gas detectors warns of hazardous gas at levels
above user-defined alarm setpoints. The detector can monitor up to four gases at a time.
Safety
CAUTION
• The detector is a personal safety device. It is your responsibility to respond properly to
the alarm.
• For safety reasons, this equipment must be operated and serviced by qualified personnel only.
• The lithium 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.
• Deactivating the detector by removing the battery pack may cause improper operation and harm
the detector.
• Use only Honeywell approved battery chargers such as the vehicle Charger.
• Do not use the apparatus if it is damaged. Inspect the apparatus before use. Look for cracks and
missing parts.

Calibration
Perform a calibration to adjust the sensitivity levels of sensors and ensure accurate responses to
gases.
The detector can be calibrated in two ways:
• Apply gas from a cylinder to the sensors using the Safety Suite Device Configurator (SSDC)
software or the Device Configurator (DC) app.
• Use an IntelliDoX module. For further reference see the IntelliDox User Manual.

CAUTION
Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O2) that is free of hazardous gas. Use 50% LEL for
test gas.
Details for calibration and maintenance:
lRecommendations for calibration of the equipment on a routine basis including the
maximum time interval between calibrations.
lCalibrate the apparatus before first-time use and then on a regular schedule, depending on
use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. Honeywell recommends that the
sensors be calibrated regularly and at least once every 180 days (6 months).
lThe 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.
Procedure to calibrate the detector via the calibration cap and the DC app on a
mobile device
1. Turn On the BW Icon. Place the cap over the detector, and then press down on both tabs to
snap it into place. Wait a few minutes to sensors warm up.

Bump Test
The detector can be tested in four ways:
lApply gas from a cylinder to the sensors manually through the calibration cap, and using the
detector's menu.
lApply gas from a cylinder to the sensors manually through the calibration cap, and using the
Safety Suite Device Configurator (SSDC) software on a computer.
lApply gas from a cylinder to the sensors manually through the calibration cap, and using the
Device Configurator (DC) app on a mobile device.
lUse an IntelliDoX module. For further reference see the IntelliDoX User Manual.
CAUTION
Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O2) that is free of hazardous gas. Use 50% LEL for
test gas.
Details for Bump Test and maintenance:
lRecommendations for initial checking of the equipment on a routine basis including the
maximum time interval between calibrations.
lPerform a functional check with gas before each day of use.
lHoneywell recommends bump testing the sensors before each day’s use to confirm their
ability to respond to gas by exposing the apparatus to a gas concentration that exceeds the
alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms activate.
lThe 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.
