Webinar: The Fundamentals of Portable Gas Detection with Honeywell

Flammable and toxic gas detection instruments are generally available in two different formats: portable (spot reading) detectors and fixed (permanently sited) monitors. Selecting which is most appropriate for a particular application depends on several factors. Including how often the area is accessed by personnel, site conditions, whether the hazard is permanent or transitory, how often testing is needed, and last but not least, the availability of finances.

We've teamed up with Honeywell for this short webinar on Portable Gas Detection, where we cover:
• Characteristics and hazards of a confined space
• The 2 main functions of portable gas detectors
• The various applications
• What to do during alarms situations
• Potential contaminants for the sensors
• Calibration versus bump-test... The difference
• Using an IntelliDoX docking station
• Maintenance, cleaning, and service
• Extreme weather conditions... What to do

How to: Calibrate a BW Gas Detector

Calibration is pretty important: it re-establishes a base line for your sensors so the electrochemical and the LEL catalytic bead sensor need some kind of base line. That way it knows what a concentration of gas is. You want to make sure that you do your calibration fairly frequently, every 180 days is the manufacturer's default. learn more by watching this informative video.

How to: Bump Test a BW Gas Detector

A bump test is a physical verification that the sensors are responding to a set amount of gas and that your visual and audible alarms are going off as they should. You can hear and see them triggering and verify that everything is basically in operating order. Watch this video to see a live demonstration!
