WARNING Warnings contain information that could prevent death or serious injury or
extensive equipment damage.
CAUTION Cautions contain information that could prevent minor or moderate injury,
equipment damage, or warranty voidance.
NOTE Notes contain helpful information.
IMPORTANT! BUMP TEST THE MONITOR
Prior to use, every gas detection monitor should be bump tested to confirm the response of all
sensors and activation of all alarms by exposing the monitor to a concentration of target gas that
exceeds the low alarm set point. A bump test is also recommended if the monitor has been
subjected to physical impact, liquid immersion, an Over Limit alarm event, or custody changes, or
anytime the monitor’s performance is in doubt.
To ensure greatest accuracy and safety, only bump test and calibrate in a fresh air environment.
The monitor should be calibrated every time it does not pass a bump test, but no less frequently
than every six months, depending on use and exposure to gas and contamination, and its
operational mode.
• Calibration intervals and bump test procedures may vary due to national legislation.
• Honeywell recommends using calibration gas cylinders containing the gas that is appropriate
to the sensor you are using, and in the correct concentration.

CAUTION!
RISKOFEQUIPMENT DAMAGE
lOnly use the Honeywell-specified rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack supplied with
the instrument.
lCharge the instrument Li-ion battery using the specifically supplied charger and only
outside hazardous areas. The maximum voltage from the AC charger Um must not
exceed 6.0 VDC.
lThe battery pack can only be changed in a non-hazardous area. Only use approved
rechargeable battery pack P/N 500-0165-000 (or 500-0165-001 for NA certification)
produced by Honeywell.

lUse of non-Honeywell components will void the warranty and can compromise the safe
performance of this product.
lWarning: Substitution of components may impair safe performance of this product.
lWhen changing the sensor configuration, ensure the operator is aware of any changes
to certification restrictions.
CAUTION: BEFORE EACH USE, SENSITIVITY OF THE COMBUSTIBLE GAS SENSOR MUST BE
TESTED ON A KNOWN CONCENTRATION OF METHANE GAS EQUIVALENT TO 20 TO 50% OF

SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
lThis multi-gas monitor must be calibrated if it does not pass a bump test, when a new
sensor has been installed, or at least once every 60 days, depending on use and sensor
exposure to poisons and contaminants
lThe multi-gas monitor must be calibrated when the device is turned OFF-ON or
exposed to a high concentration above the upper limit.
lThe AC charger system of BW RigRat shall only be applied in non-hazardous areas by
charger specifically supplied for use with the unit (for example model number ADS-
25SGP-06 05717E, manufactured by HONOR Electric), approved as SELV or Class 2
equipment against IEC 60950 or an equivalent IEC standard. The maximum voltage
Um from the charger shall not exceed DC 6.0V.
lThe BW RigRat enclosure has an ingress protection of rating of IP-54. The user shall
ensure that the external plugs that are used are for IS charger, 4-20mA input, and ON-
OFF switch will provide a degree of protection of IP-54, after they are connected to the
sockets.
lDo not open when an explosive atmosphere is present.
Note: Users are recommended to refer to ISA -RP12.13, Part II-1987 for general information on
installation, operation, and maintenance of combustible gas detection instruments. In Europe,
users should refer to EN 60079-29-2.
