Transportable Multi-gas Area Monitor

Protect your workers with the new BW RigRat Area Monitor, a user-friendly gas area monitor

The Honeywell BW™ RigRat Area Monitor is so easy to use that workers can operate it with confidence, trusting it to alert them to gas threats in their proximity - indoors and out, in temperatures from -40 to +60°C.

Up to six gas sensors. More than 15 sensors for toxic gases, O2, LEL, PID for VOC gases, infrafred sensors for highly flammable gases and verified 4R sensors for RAE products. 

Optional integated noise sensor and meterological sensor for tracking toxic plumes. 

Sensor Range

H₂S / CO / O₂ / LEL / SO₂ / NH₃ / NO₂ / NO / HCN / CL₂ / VOC's / CO2

Up to 8 weeks of runtime on a single charge. Longer runtime than any area monitor in its class. Built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery with charging time less than 18 hours.

Up to six slots for interchangeable gas sensors. Choice of electrochemical, PID, infrared, and catalytic bead sensors (measuring percent LEL and percent by volume).

Integrated Noise sensor and Metrological data sensors.

Enhanced configurations with programmable input and output.

Approval for explosive atmosphere. Certified for ATEX/IECEx Zone 0 and CSA C1D1.

Flexible applications. Zone declassification, turnarounds, confined space, routine maintenance, fence line and more. Available with pump for remote sampling.

One-button operation. Grab and go. No expertise required.

Simple setup with a smartphone. Easy mobile app for alarm set points, calibration records and more.

Added protection. Alerts workers to nearby gas leaks, whereas personal detectors cover only the breathing zone.
