Glossary

ACGIH
The ACGIH method is defined as the infinite (total) accumulated average,
whether it is 2 hours or 8 hours.
BLE
Bluetooth Low Energy.
Bump test
A compliance test that confirms the detector's ability to respond to target
gases by exposing the detector to a known gas concentration. Other
procedures that are specified to occur automatically when the detector is
inserted into a docking module may be performed in conjunction with the
bump test.
Calibration
A two-step compliance test that determines the measurement scale for the
detector's response to gas. In the first step, a baseline reading is taken in a
clean, uncontaminated environment. In the second step, the sensors are
exposed to known concentrations of gas. The detector uses the baseline
and known gas concentrations to determine the measurement scale.
Datalog
A datalog is a file that contains detailed, date-stamped records related to
detector operations and configuration settings. The datalog is continuously
updated. Records that span the operating life of the detector are retained.
Event log
An event log is a file that contains detailed, time-stamped records data
related to gas events, and compliance tests. The event log is updated when
an event occurs. A specified number records for the most recent events are
retained.
Fleet Manager
A proprietary, Windows-based software developed by Honeywell to
configure and manage docking modules, calibration, bump tests, and data
logs. Fleet Manager II is available for download from
www.honeywellanalytics.com
Gang
A group of two to five connected IntelliDoX modules. Modules that are
connected share power, network and gas connections.
IntelliDoX Docking Module
An automatic bump test and calibration docking station for use with
portable gas detectors manufactured by Honeywell.
IR
Infrared. IR is an invisible radiant energy that can be used for short- range
wireless communications between enabled devices.
LCD
Liquid crystal display. LCD is a technology that is commonly used for
display screens on mobile digital devices.
Normal atmosphere
A fresh air environment with 20.9% v/v oxygen (O2) that is free of
hazardous gas
BW Ultra User Manual
Operating Life
The period of operational use required to attain the specified operating
limit. Operating life includes normal operating time, alarm time, and all
types of idle time.
OSHA
The US OSHA method is defined as a moving average that accumulates
over an 8-hour average. If the worker is in the field longer, the oldest
accumulated values (first hour) are replaced by the newest values (ninth
hour). This continues for the duration of the work shift until the detector is
deactivated.
PPM
Parts per million, a measure of concentration.
Reboot
Restart the operating system for the module
Service Life
The expected lifetime of a product, as specified by the manufacturer.
Station
An area or zone dedicated to a specific activity. A compliance testing station
may contain several IntelliDoX modules and gangs of connected modules.
Stealth mode
When enabled, the backlight, visual alarms, and audible alarms are
disabled. During an alarm, the vibrator activates and readings are displayed
on the LCD.
STEL
The Short-Term exposure Limit is the maximum permissible gas
concentration a worker can be safely exposed to for short periods of time
(5-15 minutes maximum).
TWA Alarm
The time-weighted average (TWA) is a safety measure used to calculate
accumulated averages of gases. Using the US Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) method or the American Conference of
Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH) method, an average is calculated to
ensure the detector alarms when the TWA has accumulated.
V/V
Volume percent concentration.
