CHAPTER
2Introduction
WARNING
To ensure personal safety, read See "Safety Information - Read First" on the next page for more
information. and See "Cautions" on the next page for more information. before using the
detector.
The BW MaxXT II gas detector (“the detector”) warns of hazardous gas at levels above user-
defined alarm setpoints.
The detector is a personal safety device. It is your responsibility to respond properly to the
alarm.
Gases Monitored
The following table lists the gases that are monitored by the detector.
Gas Detected Unit of Measure
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) parts per million (ppm)
Carbon monoxide parts per million (ppm)
Combustible gases (LEL) a) percent of lower explosive limit (%LEL)
b) percent by volume methane 0-5.0% v/v
Oxygen (O2) % volume
CAUTION: FOR SAFETY REASONS, THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE OPERATED AND SERVICED
BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS TECHNICAL REFERENCE
GUIDE COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING AND SERVICING.
BW MaxXT II 6 User Manual

Safety Information - Read First
Use the detector only as specified in this technical reference guide, otherwise the protection
provided by the detector may be impaired.
Read the See "Cautions" below for more information. on the following pages before using the
detector.
WARNING
This instrument contains a lithium polymer battery. Dispose of 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.
Cautions
lWarning: Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
lCaution: 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.
lDo not use the detector if it is damaged. Inspect the detector before using. Look for
cracks and/or missing parts.
lIf the detector is damaged or parts are missing, contact Honeywell BW™ MaxXT II
immediately.
lUse only sensor(s) that are specifically designed for the MaxXT II model. Refer to
Replacement Parts and Accessories.
lCalibrate the detector before first-time use and then on a regular schedule, depending on
use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. Sensors must be calibrated
regularly and at least once every 180 days (6 months).
lHoneywell 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 and visual alarms are activated. Calibrate
if the readings are not within the specified limits.
lProtect 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.
lHoneywell recommends the combustible sensor be checked with a known concentration
of calibration gas after any known exposure to catalyst contaminants/poisons (sulfur
compounds, silicon vapors, halogenated compounds, etc).
BW MaxXT II 7 User Manual

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.
lWarning: High off-scale LEL readings may indicate an explosive concentration.
lOnly the combustible gas detection portion of this instrument has been assessed for
performance by CSA International.
lFor use only in potentially explosive atmospheres where oxygen concentrations do not
exceed 20.9% (v/v).
lAny rapid up-scaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a
gas concentration beyond upper scale limit, which may be hazardous.
lCalibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas.
lUse only Honeywell approved batteries for the MaxXT II detector. Refer to Replacement
Parts and Accessories.
lCharge the detector before first-time use. Honeywell recommends the detector be
charged after every workday.
lCharge the BW MaxXT II using the recommended charging adapter only. Do not use any
other charging adapter. Failure to adhere to this precaution can lead to fire and/or
explosion. Read and adhere to all instructions in the charger guide. Failure to do so can
result in fire, electrical shock, personal injury, and/or property damage.
lExtended exposure of the BW MaxXT II to certain concentrations of combustible gases
and air may stress a detector element, which can seriously affect its performance. If an
alarm occurs due to high concentration of combustible gases, recalibration should be
performed, or if needed, the sensor replaced.
lDo not test the combustible sensor’s response with a butane cigarette lighter; doing so
will damage the sensor.
lDo not expose the detector to electrical shock or severe continuous mechanical shock.
lDo not immerse the detector in liquids.
lThe pump (XT-RPUMP-K1) is certified for use with the BW MaxXT IIdetector only.
lDo not attempt to disassemble, adjust, or service the detector unless instructions for that
procedure are provided in the technical reference guide and/or that part is listed as a
replacement part. Use only Honeywell BW™ MaxXT II Replacement Parts and Accessories.
lThe detector warranty will be voided if customer, personnel, or third parties damage the
detector during repair attempts. Non-Honeywell BW™ MaxXT II repair/service attempts
void this warranty.
lWarning: DO NOT to use any tool (i.e., metal needle nose pliers) to manipulate the battery
wires, insulation, or connector. There is a potential to short-circuit the battery wires that
could result in battery damage and injury to the user.
lWarning: The lithium battery (MX-BAT01) may present a risk of fire or chemical burn
hazard if misused. Do not disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C), or incinerate. Do not
use any other lithium batteries with theBW MaxXT II detector. Use of any other cell can
cause fire and/or explosion. To order and replace the MX-BAT01 battery, refer to
BW MaxXT II 8 User Manual

Replacement Parts and Accessories.
lWarning: Lithium polymer cells exposed to heat at 266°F (130°C) for 10 minutes can
cause fire and/or explosion.
lDispose 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.
lKeep lithium cells away from children.
lCalibration cylinders that are used with a demand flow regulator must meet the following
maximum inlet pressure specifications:
lDisposable cylinders 0-3000 psig/70 bar
lRefillable cylinders 0-3000 psig/70 bar

Startup Tests
The following startup tests are written as startup performance is intended. If an error occurs,
refer to Troubleshooting. When the detector is activated, it performs the following fourteen
startup tests: Battery Test, Audible/Visual Test, Firmware Version, Startup Message, Location
Logging, Pump Test on Startup, Alarm Setpoints, Self-Test, Automatic Zero for H2S, CO, O2, and
LEL, Calibration Due Date (optional), Force Calibration Enabled (optional), Cal IR Lock Enabled
