Honeywell BW Clip CO Monitor — Maintenance-Free Single-Gas Detector
The Honeywell BW Clip CO monitor (BWC2-M) is a 2-year maintenance-free single-gas clip for carbon monoxide — the personal gas detector to issue wherever CO from combustion, engines or forklifts is the main hazard. Turn it on and it runs two years with no service.

What the Honeywell BW Clip BWC2-M detects (and what it doesn’t)
This monitor detects carbon monoxide (CO) only — not H2S, O2, combustibles or any other gas. For multi-hazard work choose a wearable 4-gas unit such as the BW GasAlertMicroClip XL. For H2S instead, see the BW Clip H2S; for oxygen, the BW Clip O2. A lower-cost personal CO option is the TopTes CT-580. Bump-test with CO calibration gas; docking automates it.
Cross-shopping? This unit sits in our Personal & Wearable Gas Detectors hub alongside Honeywell BW Clip H2S, Honeywell BW Clip O2, TopTes CT-580 CO, BW GasAlertMicroClip XL.

Honeywell BW Clip single-gas family compared
| Model | Gas | Alarm set points | Service life | Street price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BW Clip H2S (BWC2-H) | H2S | 10 / 15 ppm | 2 yr sealed | ~$125 |
| BW Clip CO (BWC2-M) | CO | 35 / 200 ppm | 2 yr sealed | ~$131 |
| BW Clip O2 (BWC2-X) | O2 | 19.5 / 23.5 % | 2 yr sealed | ~$120 |
- Choose the BW Clip CO when carbon monoxide is the dominant hazard and you want 2-year maintenance-free wear.
- For a lower-cost rechargeable CO option, compare the TopTes CT-580 CO detector.
- Need several gases? Move to the GasAlertMicroClip XL or BW Clip4.
Frequently asked questions
What gas does the Honeywell BW Clip CO monitor detect?
Carbon monoxide (CO) only, with alarms at 35 and 200 ppm. For several gases on one worker, use a 4-gas unit like the GasAlertMicroClip XL.
How long does the BW Clip CO last?
Two years of continuous use with no battery or sensor replacement; you replace the whole unit at end of life.
How is it different from the TopTes CT-580 CO detector?
The BW Clip CO is a sealed 2-year maintenance-free industrial clip; the TopTes CT-580 is a lower-cost rechargeable CO detector with a color display.
Do I still need to bump-test it?
Yes — bump-test to confirm the sensor and alarms respond. It needs no sensor or battery service, but bump testing verifies function; docking automates it.
Where should I wear the BW Clip CO?
In the breathing zone, clipped to the collar or upper chest within about 12 inches of the nose and mouth.
What are the alarm set points?
35 ppm low and 200 ppm high, signalled by audible (~95 dB), visual red-LED and vibrating alarms.
Is it rechargeable?
No — it is a sealed 2-year unit. The benefit is zero maintenance and a low cost per worker over its life.
Can one monitor cover several workers?
No — issue one clip per worker. For area coverage use a Area & Transportable Gas Monitors monitor; for pre-entry testing a Portable Gas Detectors instrument.
Does it record data?
Yes — it logs alarm events for download through the docking system for compliance records.
What does it not detect?
Anything other than CO. For H2S use the BW Clip H2S; for oxygen the BW Clip O2; for multiple gases a 4-gas wearable.
Is it in stock and how does it ship?
Use the Amazon buy button for live availability and delivery timing through our fulfillment partner.
Does it come with calibration gas?
No — CO calibration gas and docking are sold separately for bump testing and verification.
