Note
The base station can operate from either an electrical power
source or batteries. The batteries will provide automatic
backup power if the main power fails.
1. Connect the power cord to the POWER port on the base station
and then plug the cord into an AC outlet.
To install the batteries, refer to
2. Connect the charger cord to the CHARGER port on the base
station and then plug the cord into an AC outlet (if charging
detectors with the docking modules).
3. Attach all gas connections. Inlet 1 (PURGE) is configured for
ambient air and inlets 2-5 are configured for calibration/test
gases. Refer to
If not using the base station in a fresh air environment, use a
zero air gas cylinder for Inlet 1.
4. Connect the demand flow regulator. A demand flow regulator
must be used with all gas cylinder connections.
5. Ensure the exhaust line is not connected to a negative pressure
system.
For AC main installation, a circuit breaker must be integrated in the building installation as a disconnect device for the base station.
The disconnect device must be installed in close proximity to the base
station and must be marked as a disconnecting method for the base station.

Gas Conflicts
When performing a bump test or calibration, gas must be applied in a
specific order to prevent gas conflicts that can damage the detector’s
sensor(s).
Note
Ensure that the gas inlets are configured correctly. Refer to

The gas conflicts screen automatically displays if a gas conflict occurs
when a bump check or calibration is initiated.
There are two types of gas conflicts:
• Conflicts: More than one inlet is configured for a specific gas
type.
Example: Inlet 2 is configured for SO
for the 3-gas SO
• Not Found: The base station is unable to locate the required gas
type for a specific sensor on the detector.

• Calibrate only in a safe area and in a fresh air environment. Do
not operate the base station in a hazardous area. Failure to
adhere to this guideline can result in possible personal injury
and/or property damage.
• BW recommends using premium grade calibration gases and
cylinders that are certified to National Standards. The calibration
gases must meet the accuracy of the detector.
• Do not use a gas cylinder beyond its expiration date.
• All calibration cylinders must be used with a demand flow regulator and must meet the following maximum inlet pressure specifications:
• Disposable cylinders 0-1000 psig/70 bar
• Refillable cylinders 0-3000 psig/207 bar
• Do not calibrate the detector during or immediately after charging
is complete.
• For ETO sensors (before each work shift) allow the detector to
fully stabilize in the temperature that it will be operated in, and
then zero the detector.
• It is necessary to periodically re-zero the ETO sensor.

Calibration
• Calibrate the sensor if the ambient gas readings vary during
startup.
• Calibrate a new sensor before use. Allow the sensor to stabilize
before starting calibration:
• Used sensor: 60 seconds
• New sensor: 5 minutes.
• Before calibrating a new NO or ETO sensor, allow the sensor to
stabilize for 2 hours in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas.
• Calibrate the sensors at least once every 180 days, depending
upon use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. For
HCN sensors, calibrate at least once every 90 days.
• Calibrate the sensor before changing the alarm setpoints.
• When calibrating multiple times, wait 10 minutes between calibrations to allow the sensor to stabilize.
• If a certified calibration is required, contact
Honeywell.

Calibration Procedure (All models excluding the GasAlertClip
Extreme)
A calibration adjusts the sensitivity level of a sensor to ensure an accurate response to gas.
a Caution
Ensure the detector is not in a low battery state prior to performing
a calibration.
The base station automatically accepts an unusually large span adjustment notification for the GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR. Refer to the GasAlert-
Micro 5/PID/IR User Manual.
The following detectors transfer event logs to the base station MMC
during a calibration:
• GasAlert Extreme
• GasAlertMicroClip / GasAlertMicroClip XT
• GasAlertMax XT / GasAlertMax XT II
• GasAlertQuattro
To perform calibration, complete the following:
1. Ensure the MMC/SD card is inserted if datalogging is required.
If the MMC/SD card is not inserted, displays on the LCD
when the base station attempts to log the results of the calibration. If required, refer to
2. Activate the detector and wait until it is in normal operation.

Data Transfer
(GasAlert Extreme, GasAlertMicroClip / GasAlertMicroClip XT, GasAlertMax XT / GasAlertMax XT II, and GasAlertQuattro only)
Transferring Datalogs
The data transfer function transfers datalogs from the detector to the
base station’s MMC/SD card. The data can then be imported into Fleet
Manager II.
Depending upon how many logs are stored on the MMC, the data transfer may require several minutes to complete (1-2 minutes for GasAlertMicroClip / GasAlertMicroClip XT and GasAlertMax XT / GasAlertMax
XT II).
To transfer datalogs from the detector to the docking module and then to
the base station MMC/SD card, complete the following:
1. Activate the detector and wait until it is in normal operation.
Insert it into the docking module.
2. Activate the base station and wait until it is in normal operation.
3. Press C DATA TRANSFER on the docking module. The yellow
RUN LED flashes rapidly and the docking module transfers the
datalogs to the base station.
When the transfer process is complete, the docking module indicates the status of the transfer as PASS or FAIL.
Successful Transfer: If the datalog transfer is successful, the
PASS LED lights green, the RUN LED flashes yellow slowly, and
the detector beeps.
Unsuccessful Transfer: If the datalog transfer is unsuccessful,
the FAIL LED lights red and the RUN LED flashes slowly.
If a failure occurs during the transfer of a datalog, typically some
of the data transfers to the MMC/SD card. To determine if any
data has been transferred, access the MMC data using Fleet
Manager II. Refer to the Fleet Manager II Operator’s Manual.
If required, repeat step #3 to transfer the datalog.
4. After a successful transfer to the base station, the base station
transfers the datalog to the MMC/SD card. The RUN and the

Charging the Detector
(Excluding GasAlert Extreme and GasAlertClip Extreme)
a Warning
A maximum of six charging docking modules can be installed on
the base station.
To charge successfully, the temperature must be between 50°F to
95°F (10°C to 35°C). Charge the battery when the detector emits a
low battery alarm.
a Caution
The charger is for indoor use only.
Do not calibrate or bump the detector immediately after charging
is complete.
When charging for the first time, refer to the detector’s user manual or
technical reference guide.
Note
The detector will not charge while bump tests or calibrations
are being performed. If the battery is low, charge the detector
for 30 minutes then begin a test. When the test is complete
resume charging the battery.
Charger/Battery Pack Guidelines
• Deactivate the detector before charging.
• When charging is complete, the detector can remain in the
detector bay without wear or damage to the battery.
• Charging the battery pack in temperatures above 86°F (30°C)
greatly reduces the number of possible charges to the battery
pack.
• When charging is complete, the battery pack may be warm.
• The battery pack requires approximately three charge cycles to
achieve full charge capacity.
• The base station only charges using DC power.
• Charging more than four units simultaneously increases the total
charge time.
• Up to six GasAlertMicro and GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR detectors
can charge simultaneously.
• Up to four GasAlertMicroClip / GasAlertMicroClip XT, GasAlertMax XT / GasAlertMax XT II, and GasAlertQuattro can charge
simultaneously.
• When charging an extremely depleted battery, the battery
requires a longer charging time.
• The detector cannot charge during bump tests or calibrations. If
battery power is low, charge the detector for 30 minutes and then
initiate the bump/calibration.
• When a fully charged battery is inserted into the detector bay, the
charger LED lights red for 6 to 10 minutes before lighting green.
This action will not wear or damage the battery.

GasAlertMicro, refer to the following:
• If another GasAlertMicroClip / GasAlertMicroClip XT, GasAlertMax XT / GasAlertMax XT II, or GasAlertQuattro is added, the
added detector will wait in queue until a GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR
or GasAlertMicro has completed charging before beginning to

• If another GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR or GasAlertMicro is added, the
added detector will begin charging and one GasAlertMicroClip /
GasAlertMicroClip XT, GasAlertMax XT / GasAlertMax XT II, or
GasAlertQuattro will stop charging. The GasAlertMicroClip /
GasAlertMicroClip XT, GasAlertMax XT / GasAlertMax XT II, or
