BW Clip Real Time is a portable, single-gas detector manufactured by BW Technologies by
Honeywell (BW). BW Clip Real Time continuously displays the concentration of a specic
gas in the ambient environment, and activates an alarm when concentrations exceed alarm
setpoints. It is your responsibility to respond appropriately to the alarms.
BW Clip Real Time is a member of the GasAlert family of products. It is compatible with
IntelliDoX and MicroDock II automatic test and calibration stations, as well as Fleet Manager
II software version 4.2 or higher. For more information, visit the product website at www.

Safety Information: Read First
1. Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
2. BW recommends performing a bump test prior to each day’s use to conrm sensor
response and alarm activation by exposing the detector to a concentration of target
gas that exceeds the low alarm set point. BW also recommends performing a bump
test if the detector has been subjected to physical impact, liquid immersion, an Over
Limit alarm event, custody changes, or anytime the detectors performance is in doubt.
Calibrate the detector after a failed bump test. Always bump test and calibrate in a fresh
air environment.
3. Detectors in hibernation mode are not functional.
1. Activate the detector before the activation date on the package.
2. This product is a gas detector, not a measurement device.
3. Ensure that the sensor grill is free of dirt, debris, and is not obstructed.
4. Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
5. For optimal performance, periodically zero the sensor in a normal atmosphere (20.9%
) that is free of hazardous gas.

6. Portable safety gas detectors are life safety devices. Accuracy of ambient gas
reading(s) is dependent upon factors such as accuracy of the calibration gas standard
used for calibration and frequency of calibration. BW recommends performing a
calibration at least once every 180 days (6 months).
