a Cautions

• Warning: Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety

• Before using the detector, refer to Sensor Poisons and Contaminants.

• Caution: For safety reasons, this equipment m ust be operated and serviced by qualiﬁed personnel only. Read and understand the operator’s manual completely before operating or servicing.

• Charge the detector before ﬁrst-time use. BW Technologies by Honeywell recommends the detector be charged after every workday.

• Calibrate the detector before ﬁrst-time use and then on a regular schedule, depending on use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. BW T echnologies by Honeyw ell recommends that the sensor should be calibrated regularly and at least once every 180 days (6 months).

• Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas in an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.

• BW Technologies by Honeywell recommends to bump test the sensor bef ore each day’s use to conﬁrm its ability to respond to gas by exposing the detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible, visual, and vibrator alarms are activated. Calibrate if the readings are not within the speciﬁed limits.

• Any rapid upscaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond upper scale limit, which can be hazardous.

• For use only in potentially explosive atmospheres where oxygen concentrations do not exceed 20.9% (v/v).

• Extended exposure of the detector to certain concentrations of combustible gases and air may stress an detector element that can seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentration of combustible gases, calibrate the detector. If necessary, replace the sensor.

• Warning: The lithium batter y may present a risk of ﬁre or chemical burn hazard if misused. Do not disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C), or incinerate.

• Warning: Lithium polymer cells exposed to heat at 266°F (130°C) for 10 minutes can cause ﬁre and/or explosion.

• e Warning: This detector contains a lithium polymer battery. Dispose of used lithium cells immediately . Do not disassemble. 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.

• Keep lithium cells away from children.

• Deactivating the detector by removing the battery pack may cause improper operation and harm the detector.

• e Warning: At the end of their working lives , sensors must be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner, in accordance with local waste management requirements and environmental legislation. Do NO T incinerate sensors as they may emit toxic fumes.

ConneX1 Operator’s Manual 1

Introduction

1. Introduction

The ConneX1 is a compact, portable gas detector designed to be carried or worn without hindering the user. Its purpose is to continuously monitor the atmosphere continuously for hazardous levels. Audible, visual, and vibratory alarms alert the user to danger when hazardous conditions are detected.

1.1 Intended Use

The ConneX1 has been designed to alert the user to potentially hazardous atmospheres while carrying out his/her normal duties. Therefore, the detector must be kept switched on and worn as close to the breathing area as possible, and several accessories are provided to allow the detector to be w orn in a number of different ways:

a. On the chest b. On a belt

The detector is provided with various methods to enable the user to comply safely and easily with conﬁned space regulations.

CAUTION

BW recommends that the detector be calibrated at least every 6 months or in accordance with customer site procedures, whichever

is sooner. Correct operation of the detector should be conrmed with

test gas of known concentration before each use.

The use of the IntelliDoX accessory is strongly recommended as it enables a calibration to be performed quickly and easily.

WARNING

A sensor which cannot be calibrated or which is found to be out of tolerance should be replaced immediately.
