Maintaining the performance and accuracy of your BW Solo gas detector is critical when monitoring for toxic gases like chlorine (Cl₂). Over time, sensors degrade and require replacement to ensure continued safety and compliance. Fortunately, replacing the Cl₂ sensor in your BW Solo is straightforward and can be done in minutes — without exposing the internal components of the device.
The BW Solo Replacement Chlorine Sensor is designed to measure Cl₂ levels from 0 to 50 ppm, providing reliable and rapid detection in a compact format.
Why Choose the BW Solo 1-Series Chlorine Sensor?
The 1-Series sensors from Honeywell are engineered for fast response, long operational life, and high performance, even in challenging environmental conditions. Key benefits include:
- Fast Response Time: Thanks to their compact design, gas diffuses into the sensor rapidly — detecting changes in gas concentration in real time.
- Reliable Performance: Built for demanding field environments, the sensor continues to deliver consistent readings with minimal drift.
- Long Sensor Life: Designed to last up to two years, each sensor is backed by a 1-year warranty.
- Easy Installation: Swapping out a sensor is quick and does not require you to open or handle sensitive internal electronics.
Step-by-Step Sensor Replacement Instructions
Replacing your Cl₂ sensor is a simple 14-step process:
- Power Down the Detector – Always start by turning off your BW Solo device.
- Remove the Front Cover – Use the calibration cap to gently lift off the front of the unit.
- Peel Off the Sensor Filter – Carefully remove and set aside the filter for reinstallation.
- Unscrew the Sensor Cover – Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws holding the sensor cover in place.
- Remove the Old Sensor – Lift out the existing sensor along with the sensor cover.
- Dislodge the Sensor – Push the top of the sensor with your thumb until it pops out of the cover.
- Remove the O-Ring – Take off the O-ring from the sensor cover.
- Align the Replacement Sensor – Match the winged corner of the new sensor with the corresponding corner on the cover.
- Fit the Cover – Press the sensor cover onto the new sensor about halfway.
- Fit the O-Ring – Flip the unit over and place the O-ring securely over all four corners of the sensor.
- Reinsert the Sensor and Cover – Align with the internal groove (on the alarm side) and place it back inside the detector.
- Secure with Screws – Tighten all four screws to fasten the cover in place.
- Replace the Filter – Reapply the sensor filter.
- Snap the Cover Back – Finally, snap the front cover back onto the unit.
Once complete, power the detector back on and run a bump test or calibration check to confirm proper sensor function.
