Charging the Detector
aWARNING
Charge only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas and within temperatures of 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C).
Do not calibrate during or immediately after charging.
The charging adapter is specific to your region.
Use of the charging adapter outside your region will damage the charger and the detector.
Charge the battery after each workday.
To charge the battery, refer to the following procedures and illustration:
1. Deactivate the detector.
2. Insert the charging adapter plug into an AC outlet.
3. Connect the charging adapter to the detector IR interface.
4. Charge the battery for 6 hours.
5. To reach full battery capacity, allow a new battery to fully charge and discharge three times.
For more information about Charging the Detector refer to Honeywell BW™ MaxXT II User Manual provided on the
Honeywell https://safety.honeywell.com web site.

• Lockout on Self-Test Error (sensor alarm lock): If a sensor fails during startup and the Lockout on Self-Test option is enabled, Safety Lock On
displays on the LCD and the detector deactivates.
• Safe Mode: If enabled, SAFE displays continuously on the LCD unless an alarm condition occurs.
• Confidence Beep: If enabled, the confidence beep provides continuous confirmation that the detector is operating correctly. To define how often
the detector beeps (every 1-120 seconds), enter the value in the Confidence Interval field. Confidence beep is automatically disabled during a
low battery alarm.
• Latching Alarms: Enable to ensure an alarm persists until the alarm is acknowledged and the gas concentrations are below the alarm setpoint. The
audible alarm can be temporarily deactivated for 30 seconds by pressing ○, but the LCD continues to display the high peak concentration until the
alarm condition no longer exists.
• Force Calibration: If enabled, the detector must be calibrated if a sensor is overdue upon startup. User defined (0- 365 days) in the Calibration
Interval field.
• Cal IR Lock (must use IR device to calibrate): If enabled, the detector automatically auto zeros, but the sensors must be spanned using the IR Link
or IntelliDox .
• Force Bump: If enabled, a bump test must be performed to ensure the sensor(s) are responding correctly to the test gas. User defined (0-365 days)
in the Bump Interval field.
• Location Logging: If enabled, a series of numbers (1-999) can be entered on the detector to identify gas wells, plants, and other areas that identify
the location where the detector is being used.
• Force Block Test: If enabled, a pump block test must be performed during the startup tests.
• Datalog Interval (seconds): Define how often the detector records a sample (every 1-120 seconds).
• Confidence Interval (seconds): Define how often the detector beeps (1-120 seconds) when the Confidence Beep option is enabled.
• Language: The LCD displays the screens in English, Français (French), Deutsch (German), Español (Spanish), or Português (Portuguese).
Select the language from the drop-down menu in Safety Suite Device Configurator software.
Sensor Configuration (HS, CO, LEL, and O)
• Sensor Disabled: Enables/disables the selected sensor.
• Calibration Gas (ppm): Define the span gas concentration for each sensor. The span gas concentration must match the span value on the gas cylinder.
• Calibration Interval (days): Define the number of days (0-365) when the next calibration is due.
• Bump Interval (days): Define the number of days (0-365) when the next bump test is due.
• Low Alarm (ppm): Define the low alarm setpoint for each sensor.
• High Alarm (ppm): Define the high alarm setpoint for each sensor.
• TWA Alarm (ppm): Define the time-weighted average (TWA) alarm setpoint (toxic sensors only).
• STEL Alarm (ppm): Define the short-term exposure limit (STEL) alarm setpoint (toxic sensors only).
• STEL Interval (minutes): Define the short-term exposure limit (STEL) from 5-15 minutes (toxic sensors only).
• TWA Period (hours) TWA moving average (hours): The TWA Period option is used to define a time-weighted moving average of accumulated gases
over a period of 4-16 hours, to ensure the worker leaves the area when the defined maximum average is accumulated.
• Correction Factor (%): Enter the compensation factors for hydrocarbons other than methane. The factor can only be applied if the LEL sensor has
been calibrated with methane (LEL only).
• 50% LEL = (%CH): Enter a percentage value to display the LEL reading as %vol., assuming a methane environment (LEL only).
• Auto-Zero on Startup: Enable/disable the detector to automatically zero the sensor(s) during startup (HS, CO, LEL, and O).
• LEL by Volume CH: If enabled, the detector operates assuming a methane (CH) calibration. Enable to read and display %CH values.
Disable to read and display % LEL values.
• 5% LEL Over-span: If enabled, the detector automatically over-spans the LEL sensor by 5% LEL above the span gas concentrations to ensure the
detector is in compliance with CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 152.
• 20.8% Base Reading: When enabled, the detector is configured to detect 20.8% O as ambient air. When disabled, the detector is configured to
detect 20.9% O as ambient air.
• Low Alarm Acknowledge: If enabled, the audible alarm can be temporarily disabled during a low alarm by pressing ○. The vibrator, alarm LEDs, and
LCD remain operational (toxic and LEL only).
Maintenance
To maintain the detector in good operating condition, perform the following basic maintenance as required.
• Calibrate, bump test, and inspect the detector on a regular schedule.
• Maintain an operations log of all maintenance, bump tests, calibrations, and alarm events.
• Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents, soaps, or polishes.
• Do not immerse the detector in liquids.
