Description

Honeywell BW Solo is a rugged, reusable single-gas detector for toxic and oxygen hazards in hazardous areas, with low-cost connected monitoring.

Honeywell BW Solo is a next-generation, reusable single-gas detector for continuous monitoring of toxic and oxygen hazards in industrial areas, including those classified due to flammable gases, vapours or combustible dust. Its user-replaceable sensors, filters and batteries support fast field servicing and lower lifecycle cost compared with disposable devices. A wide sensor portfolio, long-life options and compact IP68-rated housing suit demanding energy and process applications, while wireless connectivity, data logging and integration with Honeywell Safety Suite provide real-time visibility and streamlined compliance management.

AT A GLANCE

  • Reusable, easy-service design: User-replaceable sensors, filters and batteries minimise downtime and reduce long-term ownership cost.
  • Flexible gas coverage: Broad sensor portfolio for common and specialist gases on one platform simplifies fleet standardisation and training.
  • Connected worker options: Wireless models with Bluetooth and Honeywell Safety Suite integration enable real-time visibility, remote alarms and automated compliance tasks.
  • Rugged personal protection: Lightweight, compact, IP68-rated detector with triple alarms and multilingual display for reliable use in harsh, global operations.

Overview of Honeywell BW Solo

Next-generation single-gas monitoring with lower lifecycle cost

 

Honeywell BW Solo addresses the real operational and financial costs of single-gas monitoring. As a reusable detector with user-replaceable sensors, filters and batteries, it avoids the waste and downtime associated with disposable units. Routine component changes can be completed without disassembling the device, keeping detectors in service for longer and reducing workshop load. Long-life 1-Series sensor options on Standard and Wireless models further cut replacement frequency, supporting a low total cost of ownership over multi-year deployments.

Wide gas coverage on a unified platform

 

The detector supports a broad selection of sensor options, enabling monitoring of both common toxic gases and more specialist hazards, as well as oxygen. This allows organisations to standardise on a single detector family across diverse processes and locations, rather than managing multiple device types. Extended-range options for selected gases mean the instrument can be configured for environments where higher concentrations are possible. The unified platform approach simplifies training, reduces spares inventory and makes it easier to redeploy detectors as process conditions change.

Performance, reliability and 1-Series sensor technology

 

For key gases, Honeywell BW Solo uses Honeywell 1-Series sensors designed to deliver high accuracy, strong reliability and fast response times. These long-life sensors help reduce unplanned outages and support consistent safety coverage across the fleet. Defined warranties on 1-Series detectors and sensors for selected gases give safety managers confidence in long-term performance and planning. Sensor quality and reliability are emphasised across manufacturer and distributor materials, underlining the device’s suitability for critical industrial applications.

Rugged personal device for harsh environments

 

Honeywell BW Solo combines rugged construction with IP68 ingress protection, enabling reliable operation in environments where dust, dirt and water are everyday challenges. Its lightweight, compact and ergonomic form factor supports comfortable all-day wear on clothing or PPE without obstructing work. A broad operating temperature and humidity tolerance range supports deployment in varied climates and facilities. Multiple housing colour options assist with visibility and site identification schemes, helping supervisors quickly confirm that personnel are equipped with the correct detectors.

Safety, approvals and hazardous area use

 

The detector is approved for use in hazardous locations and explosive atmospheres, supporting personal monitoring in areas classified due to flammable gases, vapours or combustible dust. These approvals make Honeywell BW Solo suitable for energy, process and other high-risk industries where personal gas monitoring is both a safety and regulatory requirement. Automatic self-tests at start-up verify sensor integrity, circuitry, battery status and alarm function, providing an additional safeguard before the detector enters service.

Simple operation, clear alarms and multilingual interface

 

Honeywell BW Solo is designed for straightforward, everyday use by permanent staff and contractors alike. One-button operation and an intuitive menu structure help minimise training time, while an easy-to-read display supports multiple interface languages to suit international and multilingual workforces. A triple alarm system — audible, visual and vibrating — ensures that gas hazards are clearly indicated, even in noisy or low-visibility environments. User options such as resetting TWA, STEL and peak readings support day-to-day occupational exposure management.

Connected worker capabilities and real-time visibility

 

Wireless models extend Honeywell BW Solo into a connected-worker solution. Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity allows real-time transmission of readings and status to Honeywell Safety Communicator, Safety Suite apps and compatible mobile devices, enabling remote alarm notifications and improved situational awareness. Safety teams gain visibility of worker status and alarm events without waiting for instruments to return to base. Wireless units can connect from several metres away to Device Configurator tools on phones or tablets for configuration, viewing calibration information and performing firmware upgrades. Where radio use is restricted, BLE can be disabled to meet site requirements.

Integrated compliance, data logging and fleet management

 

Honeywell BW Solo is engineered to support data-driven safety and compliance programmes. Integration with Honeywell Safety Suite software helps automate regulatory record keeping, instrument assignment and fleet-wide configuration. Compatibility with Honeywell IntelliDoX docking stations enables automated bump testing, calibration and central configuration, while detector and dock data can be consolidated into PC or cloud environments for analytics and reporting. Onboard data logging, including long-term interval logs and rolling 24-hour peak records on wireless models, supports incident investigation and demonstrates due diligence during audits.

Service, calibration and ecosystem support

 

Recommended six-month service and calibration intervals, combined with easy access to calibration kits, test caps and replacement parts, help keep maintenance structured and predictable. Traceable calibration certificates and defined service options support regulatory and quality system needs. A strong ecosystem of accessories, documentation and widely available technical support and training from distributors simplifies specification, roll-out and ongoing management across multiple sites.

Configurable options for projects and budgets

 

Honeywell BW Solo is available in Standard, Wireless and Lite configurations to align with different applications and cost profiles. Lite models use 4-Series sensors with shorter expected life for situations where long sensor life is less critical and lower upfront cost is a priority. Standard and Wireless versions support longer-life 1-Series sensors for extended deployments. Options for both purchase and hire make the detector suitable for short-term shutdowns, turnarounds and projects as well as long-term programmes. Combined with long-life sensors, defined warranties and software-driven efficiency, Honeywell BW Solo offers a scalable, modern platform for single-gas detection across contemporary industrial sites.
