Turning The Honeywell BW Solo On & Off

6. Turning The Honeywell BW Solo On & Off

6.1. Turning The Honeywell BW Solo On

With the instrument turned off, press and hold the button for 3 seconds. There is a 3-2-1 countdown, and then the audible alarm sounds and the display and LED alarm lights turn on and off, plus the vibration alarm buzzes.

A Honeywell logo appears first, followed by a progress bar, and then the main reading display.

Note: The instrument checks for a critical low battery and will shut down if it is too low. It also checks for forced bump or forced calibration if the function is enabled and if bump or calibration is due.


6.2. Turning The Honeywell BW Solo Off

Note: You can only turn off the instrument from the main display screen.

Press and hold the button through the countdown. The unit will beep as the countdown progresses. Then the message “Powering Down” is shown. Release the button. When the instrument is off, the screen is dark.


6.3. Calibration Status

Note: When forced bump and calibration are enabled, the instrument will power down if it is not bump tested or calibrated.

This icon is shown when less than 12 hours remains before a calibration should be performed. The instrument beeps once every 10/30/60 seconds, as set by the user, when the user has also set the non-compliance option for the calibration reminder.

The icon blinks twice per second if there is a failed or skipped calibration, and the instrument beeps three times every 60 seconds.

A calibration is required (and indicated by this icon) if:

  • The defined period between calibrations has been exceeded (calibration overdue).
  • The sensor has failed a previous calibration.

Failed calibration notification is shown on the screen if a calibration is failed. In the information menu, it shows that the calibration must be performed “NOW.”

Note:The sensor should be challenged on a regular basis (before each day’s use) to ensure proper sensor performance.


6.4. Bump Status

Note:When forced bump and calibration are enabled, the instrument will power down if it is not bump tested or calibrated.

This icon is shown when less than 12 hours remains before a bump test should be performed. The instrument beeps once every 10/30/60 seconds, as set by the user, when the user has also set the non-compliance option for the bump test reminder.

The icon blinks twice per second if there is a failed or skipped bump test, and the instrument beeps three times every 60 seconds.

A bump test is required (and indicated by this icon) if:

  • The defined period between bump tests has been exceeded (calibration overdue).
  • The sensor has failed a previous bump test.

Failed bump test notification is shown on the screen if a bump test is failed. In the information menu, it shows that the calibration must be performed “NOW.”

Note: the sensor should be challenged on a regular basis (before each day’s use) to ensure proper sensor performance.


6.5. Sensor Fault Status

When a sensor has been removed or failed, this icon is shown on the display, and there is one flash, one beep, and a vibration alert every second. Stepping through the status screens, you see the fault details.
