Ten things you should know about Honeywell BW SOLO
Here are the ten things you should know about the BW SOLO.
You can download data and create reports.
Data from the detector or its IntelliDox docking station is downloadable to a PC, where it can be aggregated and managed through Honeywell’s Safety Suite software platform to automate key compliance tasks like regulatory records management.
Extensive Gas Configurations
The BW Solo Wireless has over 14 sensor options, including extended ranges and exotic gases.
This makes it a suitable monitor for various applications where personal single-gas monitoring is essential.
Serviceability
This is a serviceable unit, and its ease of maintenance and serviceability can lower the long-term ownership cost of a gas monitoring system.
Connected Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capabilities
The Bluetooth capability will enable the unit to be connected to a computer or your phone without a cable, easing device configuration and data download.
Lightweight convenience
BW solo just weighs 116 grams, which makes it easy for service women and men to carry it in case of emergency.
The new 1-Series sensor for enhanced reliability
BW SOLO is the first single-gas detector with a 1 Series CO, H2S, O2, and CO2 sensor. These sensors are compact and more reliable, hence making them more accurate.
Easy-to-read display for multiple languages
BW SOLO has an option for multiple languages: Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
User-friendly operation
BW Solo uses just one button, which makes it easy to operate.
Ease of maintenance
BW SOLO is the easiest single-gas detector to service, with no need to take it apart to replace sensors, batteries, and sensor filters. That means long life and low cost.
Triple Alarm System
The BW Solo Wireless features a triple alarm system, which means the monitor will sound, flash, and vibrate when it enters alarm mode.
Applications of BW SOLO
BW Solo can be used in many industries. Here are some of them.
- Industries
