Small, Affordable and Trusted by Workers Around the World
The Honeywell BW MicroClip XL has earned its place as the world’s most popular multi-gas portable detector by getting the basics right. Reliable detection, long runtime, small size and a user experience that puts minimal demands on the people wearing it. With single-button operation and a flashing green IntelliFlash indicator that provides at-a-glance compliance confirmation for both the worker and their supervisor, the MicroClip XL is the instrument workers actually want to wear.
The MicroClip XL monitors up to four gases simultaneously – hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and combustible gas in %LEL – in a compact, lightweight housing that sits comfortably in a shirt pocket or on a belt clip throughout a full shift. Even in cold weather at -20°C, the MicroClip XL is guaranteed to provide a full shift of runtime, backed by Honeywell’s cold weather battery guarantee for the full two-year warranty period.
Designed for Extended Battery Life in Cold Environments
The MicroClip XL was specifically designed for environments where cold weather is a challenge. With an 18-hour battery runtime under normal conditions and a guaranteed minimum 12-hour runtime at -20°C for the full warranty period, it is a trusted choice for workers in mining, oil and gas and outdoor industrial environments where standard batteries can fail early in cold conditions.
Reflex Technology and IntelliFlash
The MicroClip XL includes Reflex Technology, which automatically checks sensor responsiveness during operation to ensure the instrument is functioning correctly at all times. IntelliFlash provides a continuous, flashing green light that gives workers and supervisors immediate visual confirmation that the detector is operating and in compliance, without needing to read a screen. For supervisors managing large teams, IntelliFlash allows compliance status to be confirmed at a distance.
Fleet Management and Connectivity
The MicroClip XL supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity and is compatible with both the MicroDock II and IntelliDoX docking stations for automated bump testing, calibration and data download. Honeywell’s SafetySuite software and Fleet Manager II provide fleet-level management, compliance record-keeping and instrument configuration. A motorised remote sampling pump is also available for pre-entry atmosphere testing in confined spaces without entering the hazard zone.
