BW Clip4 User Preferences

All of the parameters and options can be configured using the Fleet Manager II desktop application. An IntelliDox docking station is required to connect a BW Clip4 unit to Fleet Manager II. The BW Clip4 communicates with an IntelliDox using infrared signals, and the IntelliDox is connected to the Fleet Manager II computer via a USB or network cable. For more information, refer to the IntelliDox manual and Fleet Manager II manual.

Sensor Options

As for each sensor, these parameters and options are available.

• Sensor Disabled:

  Disable an unnecessary gas sensor.

• Calibration Gas Conc:

  Define the gas concentration for calibration.

• Low Alarm:

  Define the threshold at which a low-level alarm is triggered.

• High Alarm:

  Define the threshold at which a high-level alarm is triggered.

• TWA Alarm:

  Define the threshold at which a TWA alarm is triggered. This parameter is available only for H2S and CO.

• STEL Alarm:

  Define the threshold at which a STEL alarm is triggered. This parameter is available only for H2S and CO.

• Calibration Interval:

  Define how often a calibration should be done.

• Bump Interval:

  Define how often a bump test should be done.

• STEL interval:

  Define the period of time after which a STEL alarm is triggered. This parameter is available only for H2S and CO. The available range is 5 to 15 minutes.

• Display Decimal:

  Determine whether to express as an integer or tenths decimal. This parameter is available only for H2S.

• Low Alarm Trigger:

  This parameter is available only for O2. Determine whether to generate a low-level alarm when the oxygen concentration is above the normal range or when it is the reverse.

• High Alarm Trigger:

  This parameter is available only for O2. Determine whether to generate a high-level alarm when the oxygen concentration is above the normal range or when it is the reverse.

Behavior Options

These behavior options are available.

• Stealth Mode:

  With this option enabled, the gas detector only vibrates without beeping and flashing when an alarm occurs.

• Alarm Latch:

  With this option enabled, when an alarm occurs, the detector continues beeping, flashing and vibrating for a specified period of time even after the alarm condition is cleared. To acknowledge a latched alarm, press the button.

• Time zone:

  Specify the time zone where the detector is used.

• Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Savings Time:

  Determine whether to use daylight saving time.

• Spring Start Time:

  For daylight saving time, specify the date and time when the spring starts.

• Fall End Time:

  For daylight saving time, specify the date and time when the fall ends.

Event Logs

The detector stores the last 70 events that occurred, including peak readings and bump tests. Event logs contain the following:

• The detector's serial number, sensor type and remaining lifetime
• The total number of events that have occurred
• Alarm thresholds
• The time elapsed since an alarm occurred
• The time during which the alarm continued

Use FleetManager II via an IntelliDox station to transfer from the detector to a computer.

Firmware Update

The BW Clip4 firmware can be updated using an IntelliDox docking station and flash drive. For more information, refer to the IntelliDox manual
