Yes. The Honeywell BW Ultra HU-X1W1H1M1Q1-Y-N is a portable, pumped five-gas detector purpose-built for sampling and monitoring confined spaces before and after entry. Unlike a wearable diffusion monitor, it has a built-in pump that draws a sample from up to 75 ft (22.9 m) away, so a hole-watch attendant can test the atmosphere without entering. It simultaneously monitors oxygen (O2), combustible gas (LEL), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOC/PID), runs on a single-button interface, and warns with 95 dB audible, visual and vibrating alarms. Certified intrinsically safe (ATEX/IECEx/UL) and rated IP66/68, it's well suited to confined-space work in oil & gas, water treatment, pulp & paper, shipping and chemical plants. It ships with free shipping from Industrial Safety Products.

The Honeywell BW Ultra HU-X1W1H1M1Q1-Y-N detects five gases at once: oxygen (O2) 0–25% vol, combustible gas (LEL) 0–100% LEL, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) 0–100 ppm, carbon monoxide (CO) 0–2000 ppm, and volatile organic compounds (VOC) 0–1000 ppm via a photoionization detector (PID). This build covers the four core confined-space gases plus a fifth PID sensor for VOCs, giving an added layer of protection for confined-space entries.

Yes. The Honeywell BW Ultra HU-X1W1H1M1Q1-Y-N has a built-in internal pump that samples the atmosphere from up to 75 ft (22.9 m) away — ideal for pre-entry testing of tanks, vaults and manholes. It is the first gas detector on the market to feature Honeywell's 1-Series sensor, which delivers fast response, repeatable performance without nuisance alarms, and long life (expected sensor lifetime up to five years) even in extreme working conditions — meaning higher accuracy and lower operating cost.

Yes, it is certified intrinsically safe for potentially explosive atmospheres. The Honeywell BW Ultra HU-X1W1H1M1Q1-Y-N meets ATEX II 1G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga, IECEx Ex ia IIC T4 Ga, UL Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, D, and UL Class I, Zone 0, Group IIC, plus CE (European Conformity). It is also rated IP66/68 for dust- and water-tight protection, making it suitable for hazardous locations in oil & gas, marine, chemical and general industry.

Up to 14 hours per charge. Because the HU-X1W1H1M1Q1-Y-N configuration includes a PID (VOC) sensor, its typical battery life is 14 hours at -4 °F / -20 °C (the 18-hour rating applies to BW Ultra builds without a PID or IR sensor). The rechargeable battery is included; a full first-time charge takes up to 8 hours. The detector also runs an automatic internal self-test of its sensors, battery and circuitry every 24 hours.

Not with the infrared (IR) combustible-sensor option. Honeywell cautions that the LEL IR combustible gas sensor option used in the BW Ultra cannot detect certain combustible gases, including hydrogen and acetylene, and advises that the application be reviewed to ensure the BW Ultra can provide adequate detection. If your confined space may contain hydrogen or acetylene, confirm the LEL sensor type before relying on the instrument for those gases, or contact Honeywell Analytics to specify the appropriate combustible sensor.

Hole Watch mode is the BW Ultra's default operating mode, designed for confined-space monitoring. It shows all gas levels on one screen using bar graphs that fill as concentrations rise, so a hole-watch attendant gets clear, at-a-glance situational awareness. When a single-gas alarm triggers, that gas is highlighted in a solid bar; for oxygen, the bar fills toward LO or HI. The BW Ultra also offers an Essentials mode (readings only) and an Inert mode for oxygen-deficient work, and it always monitors gas regardless of the selected mode.

Yes. The Honeywell BW Ultra HU-X1W1H1M1Q1-Y-N has Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and pairs with the Honeywell Safety Communicator app to share live gas readings and alarms for remote monitoring — an added layer of protection for the hole watch. Honeywell TouchConnect lets you quickly enter bump or calibration mode and change set-points, while the IntelliDoX docking system provides automated bump testing and calibration with record keeping. The unit is configured and reported on through Honeywell SafetySuite / Safety Suite Device Configurator (SSDC), with an IR Link option for transferring settings and logs.

The Honeywell BW Ultra HU-X1W1H1M1Q1-Y-N is built for tough field use with an IP66/68 dust- and water-tight rating and a honeycomb-designed, impact-resistant housing with a scratch-resistant display protector. It operates from -4 °F to +131 °F (-20 °C to +50 °C) and 5–95% RH non-condensing. Ergonomically shaped to fit the hand for easy sampling, it weighs 14.5 oz (411 g) and measures 5.8 × 3.3 × 1.6 in (14.8 × 8.5 × 4.0 cm) — slimmer and lighter than many five-gas detectors to reduce fatigue.

The Honeywell BW Ultra HU-X1W1H1M1Q1-Y-N carries a 3-year instrument warranty, a 3-year sensor warranty (2 years on NH3, and 1 year on PID and Cl2 — so the VOC/PID sensor in this build is warranted 1 year), and a 2-year battery warranty. For compliance records it stores 45 days of data logging based on 8-hour shifts at a 15-second interval, plus event logging of 30 alarm events and 10 bump events, all reviewable via IntelliDoX or Bluetooth.

For confined-space crews, yes. Beyond detecting the five gases (O2, LEL, H2S, CO and VOC/PID), the Honeywell BW Ultra HU-X1W1H1M1Q1-Y-N is the first detector to use the 1-Series sensor for fast, reliable, low-drift performance and up to five-year sensor life. Its built-in pump samples from 75 ft (22.9 m) for safe pre-entry testing, the large dot-matrix Hole Watch display gives the attendant clear situational awareness, and BLE + Safety Communicator enable live remote monitoring. TouchConnect and IntelliDoX streamline bump/calibration and record keeping, and it's backed by a 3-year instrument warranty with IP66/68 ruggedness — delivering more accuracy, uptime and traceability than a conventional five-gas monitor.
