The BW Technologies GA-PA-1-NA Replacement Power Adaptor is a 120 VAC power adapter for use with BW Technologies Alert detectors (sold separately). It has a two-pronged, non-grounded plug for use in North America. A detector is a safety device that detects and monitors various toxic, combustible, and flammable ses in an area, and which can also register a decrease in ambient oxygen. detectors can be portable or stationary, and are typically classified by their detection methods, which include catalytic, electro-, point infrared, open-path infrared, semiconductor, thermal path conductor, and paper tape detection. detectors are first calibrated to known ses that serve as a reference points. Their sensors can then be used to measure ambient concentrations in comparison to the calibration ses. When concentrations exceed a pre-set limit, an alarm or signal is triggered, alerting the user to potential danger. Pre-set limits often include a low-alarm level, indicating a concentration that poses a moderate danger; a high-alarm level, indicating a concentration that poses a large danger; a short-term exposure limit (STEL), the maximum concentration to which workers can be exposed continuously for a short period of time without serious risk of harm, and time-weighted average (TWA) limit, the maximum average exposure personnel can experience over the course of an eight-hour work shift without serious risk of harm. Most detectors also feature LCD screens that provide a variety of information including ses detected and their concentrations, pre-set exposure limits, and battery level. detectors have a variety of industrial and governmental applications, such as in fire and rescue, mining, construction, petroleum refineries, tanneries, sewage facilities, and paper mills. Portable detectors are typically used to monitor the air around personnel, are worn on clothing or on belts or harnesses, and are powered with rechargeable or disposable batteries. They generally require periodic calibration, testing, and battery recharging or replacement, although some fixed-life detectors are designed to perform for a number of years without calibration or battery replacement before being dided. Stationary detectors are typically powered electrically and ed near the process area of a or control room. They also require periodic service, testing, and calibration. BW Technologies by Honeywell manufactures and distributes portable and fixed monitoring equipment for use in a wide range of industries. The company, founded in 1987, is based in Canada in Calgary, Alberta.
