Learn what you need to know about the Honeywell BW™ Icon Gas Detector before operating.
Introduction
Product Description
The Honeywell BW™ Icon & Honeywell BW™ Icon+ gas detectors warns of hazardous gas at levels
above user-defined alarm setpoints. The detector can monitor up to four gases at a time.
Safety
CAUTION
• The detector is a personal safety device. It is your responsibility to respond properly to
the alarm.
• For safety reasons, this equipment must be operated and serviced by qualified personnel only.
• The lithium battery in this product presents a risk of fire, explosion, and chemical burn if
misused. Do not disassemble, incinerate, or heat above 212°F (100°C). Batteries exposed to heat
at 266°F (130°C) for 10 minutes can cause fire and explosion. Batteries must only be charged in a
safe area free of hazardous gas.
• Deactivating the detector by removing the battery pack may cause improper operation and harm
the detector.
• Use only Honeywell approved battery chargers such as the vehicle Charger.
• Do not use the apparatus if it is damaged. Inspect the apparatus before use. Look for cracks and
missing parts.

FCC Compliance statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his
own expense.
The user can pair the Honeywell BW™ Icon to a mobile device via built-in Bluetooth Low Energy
(BLE). The Honeywell Device Configurator app, installed on the mobile device, can then show
gas readings and alarms from the BW Icon unit that is connected.
Readings and alarms can then be sent to Honeywell remote monitoring software
On the Honeywell BW™ Icon, the Bluetooth connection is on by default.
1.Turn On the BW Icon.
2.In your mobile device, open the Device Configurator app
3.In your BW Icon:
lDouble press to enter the menu
lSingle press until the BLE icon is displayed
lHold press 3 secs to initiate the pairing mode.
4.In the Device list screen from the Device Configurator app, select the BW Icon Serial
Number to start pairing.
Calibration
Perform a calibration to adjust the sensitivity levels of sensors and ensure accurate responses to
gases.
The detector can be calibrated in two ways:
• Apply gas from a cylinder to the sensors manually through the calibration cap, and using the
Safety Suite Device Configurator (SSDC) software or the Device Configurator (DC) app.
Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O2) that is free of hazardous gas. Use 50% LEL for
test gas.
Details for calibration and maintenance:
l Recommendations for calibration of the equipment on a routine basis including the
maximum time interval between calibrations.
l Calibrate the apparatus before first-time use and then on a regular schedule, depending on
use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. Honeywell recommends that the
sensors be calibrated regularly and at least once every 180 days (6 months).
l The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50% LEL methane. If monitoring a different
combustible gas in the % LEL range, calibrate the sensor using the appropriate gas.
Procedure to calibrate the detector via the calibration cap and the DC app on a
mobile device
1.Turn On the BW Icon. Place the cap over the detector, and then press down on both tabs
to snap it into place.
10. Open the cylinder valve by turning the pressure regulator knob clockcounterwise. The Zero
process starts and a message is displayed when succeeded.
11. Follow onscreen instructions to know when to apply gas and when the calibration process is
complete.
12. The process is complete when the results are displayed on your mobile device. You can now
remove the cap by pulling on the tabs.
Bump Test
The detector can be tested in two ways:
• Apply gas from a cylinder to the sensors manually through the calibration cap, and using the
Safety Suite Device Configurator (SSDC) software or the Device Configurator (DC) app.
• Use an IntelliDoX module.
CAUTION
Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O2) that is free of hazardous gas. Use 50% LEL for
test gas.
Details for Bump Test and maintenance:
l Recommendations for initial checking of the equipment on a routine basis including the
maximum time interval between calibrations.
l Perform a functional check with gas before each day of use.
l Honeywell recommends bump testing the sensors before each day’s use to confirm their
ability to respond to gas by exposing the apparatus to a gas concentration that exceeds the
alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms activate.
l The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50% LEL methane. If monitoring a different
combustible gas in the % LEL range, calibrate the sensor using the appropriate gas.

You can charge the battery via an IntelliDox module, the charger adaptor & USB Charger, and the
Multi-unit Cradle Charger.
Note:
The lithium battery may require 5 hours to full capacity. While charging, the battery icon will flash
amber once per second. The time needed to charge will increase if the apparatus is activated. The
detector may be warm during charging; this is normal. To preserve the life of the battery,
deactivate the device when not in use.
The battery operating temperature is -40°C~ +60°C.
WARNING
The Icon uses a lithium battery that may present a risk of fire or chemical burn hazard if misused.
Do not disassemble, heat above 100°C, or incinerate.
CAUTION
l To avoid personal injury and property damage, adhere to the following:
l Charge the battery immediately when the apparatus emits a low battery alarm.
l Charge the battery in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas in a temperature range from
0~45°C.
l If the device is out of charging range, the battery icon flashes in blue.
l Charge the battery using Honeywell charger adapters designed for this apparatus only. Do not
use any other charger adapters. Failure to adhere to this caution can lead to fire and explosion.
l If replacing the battery, use only approved lithium polymer cells that are available through
Honeywell. User of any other cell can cause fire and explosion.

This manual provides additional information for the customer and organization related to
identification and risk management associated with the use of the system in connected
infrastructure. It applies to a system with the following components:
l Fleet Management Software
l Docking Station (IntelliDoX, MicroDoc)
l Gas Detection Instruments
Some controls such as custom operating system, encrypted data for firmware updates, and
elimination of confidential data from the system (except for gas log files if designated as
confidential by the customer) are already built into the system. This manual is focusing on
additional controls that could be added by the customer.
Security considerations for system installation
l To minimize unauthorized external access to the system, Fleet Management Software should
operate behind a sufficiently robust and current company firewall.
l Ensure virus protection is installed, signature files are up-to-date, and subscriptions are
active as per applicable IT policies.
l Allow only digitally signed software from trusted sources to run on PC, where Fleet
Management Software is installed.
l To minimize the possibility of tampering with docking stations, instruments, and PCs, it is
recommended to limit physical access to authorized personnel only.
Security considerations for instruments equipped with wireless connectivity
l Bluetooth communication should always be set to OFF unless the user requires this
functionality
l If possible pair devices ONLY when in a physically secure area
System Monitoring
It is highly recommended to perform regular security inspections of the system and review
authorized access data.
