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.

General
The BW RigRat Local Area Gas Monitor as a transportable equipment, fills the gap between
portable personal detectors and fixed-infrastructure fire and gas systems. Its primary function
is to alert personnel of a gas leak in their proximity, it can provide continuous measurement of
gas concentrations.
The BW RigRat’s main use is in temporary zone monitoring, such as repair, fence line, and inert
applications where there is a possibility of a gas release.
The overall dimensions of the BW RigRat are about 396mm x 288mm x 470mm (15.6” x 11.4” x
18.5”), it consists of an enclosure, 2 rechargeable battery packs P/N 500-0165-000 (or 500-
0165-001 for NA certification) as main power, 1 Li-ion rechargeable cell (P/N MS-621T) for
RTC power, 1 LCD display, 4 LED indicators for light alarm, 2 buzzers for the audible alarm, 1
multi-function button, and printed circuit-board assemblies. In addition, it may also be
optionally equipped with a gas-intake pump, up to 6 kinds of wireless modules in 4 wireless
module slots, and up to 5 kinds of sensors in 6 sensor slots.
An AC charger connector is provided to charge battery packs in a non-hazardous area. Refer to
“Specific Conditions of Use” for more information. An IS charger connector is used to connect
through a safety barrier to charge one of the battery packs in hazardous areas, likewise
providing the intrinsically safe power to the product.
The BW RigRat is transportable and does not require grounding (earthing). However, the
circuits and the metal parts of the enclosure can still withstand a 500V dielectric test with a
leakage current no more than 5mA.
Wireless Module Configuration
Depending on the configuration, the BW RigRat may provide GPS, GNSS, Mesh, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth (BLE), LoRa, and/or NB-IoT wireless communication, the possible configurations are
shown in this table:
