Honeywell BW RigRat Area Gas Monitor
The BW RigRat is a modular area monitor, designed detect gas and house up to 6 toxic sensors. This is available as a diffusion model or a pumped model.
Suitable for various applications including area monitoring, confined space entry, inert gas applications, fence line monitoring, welding tents, compressed air monitoring, leak monitoring and shutdown controls. Choose from bluetooth only models, mesh models capable of connecting to specific portables gas detectors and MeshGuard systems and also WiFi compatible models.
Available sensors include Low Power NDIR LEL sensors, Catalytics LEL sensors, PID, CO, H2S, SO2, NO, NO2, HCN, NH3, Cl2, O2 and CO-HR/H2. Please see the specifications table for more information on available ranges
It’s very easy to use and can be operated using only one button. It has a high-resolution display. When gas is detected the BW RigRat will activate two alarms. One is an audible alarm at 108db (at 1 meter) and the other is a 360° LED light.
The Mesh (868 MHz, 900 MHz or 2.4GHz) version of the BW RigRat can operate with other RigRats in a closed-loop application. One Honeywell BW RigRat can connect up to 8 other RigRats and display the wireless signal in the wireless assistant display. If one alarm goes off then all monitors will go in to alarm, however the unit that has detected the danger will show a red light and the others will show an amber light. There’s no need to reform a network if one of the devices is removed, the units will reconfigure themselves. In a single network you can have up to 16 units, so long as there is a different multiple Honeywell BW RigRat binding the systems together.
All Honeywell BW RigRats are equipped with a Bluetooth function (BLE) which can connect with the mobile app to allow setup and configuration. Everything can be set up easily and doesn’t require a great deal of training. Calibration and datalogging can be managed through this.
Additional accessories, that can be purchased separately, include carrying straps (allow 3-point contact to carry the RigRat whilst climbing ladders), yellow cage available to buy to help protect the unit and a storage rack to stack multiple units.

The Honeywell BW RigRat multi-gas monitor provides user-friendly, transportable monitoring of gases in hazardous areas. The monitor offers up to six slots for interchangeable gas sensors for toxic gases, oxygen and combustible gases at the lower explosive limit (LEL); a photoionization detector (PID) for volatile organic compounds; and infrared sensors for highly flammable gases. Several RigRat monitors can be positioned in an area and connected to form a wireless safety perimeter. A wireless assistant provides easy setup, troubleshooting and information on each monitor's signal strength.
The RigRat can be used with Honeywell's remote monitoring software to see gas readings, location, compliance with safety policies and other data in real time from any device with an internet connection. An optional integrated noise sensor or meteorological data sensor can be added, and data from these sensors is viewable in the software.
The RigRat provides up to eight weeks of runtime on a single charge, eliminating battery switches in the middle of a task. An intrinsically safe portable charger is also available to extend power in the field. The monitor features alarms that are easy to see and hear, and an intelligent alarm for inert mode that prevents it from alarming in normal ambient air. The RigRat features a rugged, weatherproof design with an easy-to-read display, a tilted screen and protective cover, and an optional protective cage.
