Introducing GasAlert Quattro
Launched in October 2009, the GasAlertQuattro is the newest member of BW Technologies by Honeywell's GasAlert family.
Hie GasAlertQuattro delivers economical and straight forward visual compliance. Among portabl muhi-gas detectors, only the GasAlert Quattro hasIntelliFlash, a green LED that continuously flases to let the safety managers know their crew is safe, the ate is compliant and the job is productive. So youcan spend less, worry less and do more.
Design Emphasis
The GasAlertQuattro was designed with an emphasis on simplicity, durability and reliability using proven Honeywell processes and engineering. With theGasAlert Quattro, seeing is believing.
Perfect for rugged environments, the GasAlert Quattro features a durable exterior with reinforced bumpers and integral concussion proof boot to protectthe detector. This rugged design keeps the GasAlert Quattro working in the most extreme weather, environments and work conditions. Relying on the GasAlertQuattro prevents costly downtime. Rigorously developed over two years with proven Honeywell engineering processes, the GasAlert Quattro is built to deliver asuperior performance. All sensors on the open market were thoroughly evaluated. Alphasense and Surecell sensors were selected because they provide the bestoverall operation and reliability. Surecell sensors boast over 10 billion hours of field use and abuse.
The GasAlertQuattro's field-proven sensors offer enhanced resistance to common industrial cross sensitive gases such as methanol and ethane! (CO and H2ssensors) which means more reliable sensor responses.
Power Options
The GasAlertQuattro provides a choice between a rechargeable battery pack and an alkaline pack with three AA batteries. The interchangeable batteryoptions mean you can do more and spend less. Swap battery packs faster than the time it takes workers to change shifts. Plus, with extended battery runtimes,even in cold weather shifts can last longer.Count on the GasAlertQuattro's interchangeable power options and long battery life to get you through everyworkday with no downtime.
Compliance and Easy Auditing
For confident operation at a glance, the GasAlertQuattro is the only choice. For easy auditing, the GasAlertQuattro features IntelliFlash. The green LEDconfidence flash verifies normal operation, including bump test and calibration compliance, to both the user and supervisors from up to 20 ft. / 6.10 m. Thatmeans no manual checks, no time spent inspecting; a quick visual scan of the area provides assurance all is well in minutes, not hours. Safety managers canspend more time on the job, not auditing equipment.
The large LCD with intuitive icons and backlight further simplifies on-site auditing and compliance. Bump test and calibration icons are clearlyidentifiable, and extra large digits are easy to read in varying light conditions.
With one-button operation, the GasAlertQuattro is easy to use with gloves. Flexible user options are accessible via IR connectivity to providetamper-proof field operation. Reduce your training costs and time with the GasAlcrtQuattro.

Ask the Expert
The following question was posed by one of BW Technologies' service technicians:
I have a customer who has a GasAlertExtreme Cl2 monitor that was calibrated with an ACD CAL 2000 Cl2 generator which had a flow rate of O.S LPM.
He wanted to test the concentration of a gas cylinder that read 10 ppm Cl2. He used a regulator with flow rate of 0.5 LPM and the GAXT was reading ~ 6.5ppm.
He was wondering if it had to do anything with N2 being the balance for the Cl2 gas cylinder.
William Ball, former Applications and Training Specialist, who is now a Regional Sales Manager in Eastern Canada, answered the question:
Nitrogen would not be the cause of the Cl2 reading being low. Here are some suspected causes for the C12 readings to be low:
-Cl2 needs to be applied to the gas detector using a short piece of tubing -I would suggest not longer than 10cm (4") - the O2 gas will loseconcentration in the tubing before it reaches the sensor.
-Check the expiry date on the gas cylinder - do not use the gas for calibration, or calibration verification (accuracy check) if it is beyond theexpiration date.
-Check the ACD CAL 2000 generator in calibration - these generators need to be recertified on an annual basis.
Distributor Training
North and South American distributor training dates have been tentatively scheduled for 2010. Specific locations will be determined closer to the eventdates. For mote information, please contact your local BW Technologies sales representative. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how our portable gasdetection solutions can make 2010 a sales year to remember.
