THE WORLD'S FIRST CLOUD-CONNECTED AREA MONITOR

Blackline Safety has extended its G7 portfolio range of lone worker and gas detection portfolio with the new G7 EXO the perfect solution that empowers teams to monitor their environments for hazards and respond instantly should something happen. This new model incorporates state-of-the-art technology to address the shortcomings of traditional solutions. 

The G7 EXO is the world’s first cloud-connected area monitor with integrated 2G/3G/4G communications. When G7 EXO is turned on, it will automatically connect directly to the Blackline Safety Cloud, streaming critical insights of your site or facility. Turn-key connectivity, intelligence and versatility are hallmarks of every G7 solution. With the G7 EXO, you gain control over your projects and make the ultimate difference for your business, no matter the scenario playing out before you.

Key features of the G7 EXO

• Deployment Magic — Just place it where you want, push “setup wizard” and G7 EXO does the rest. Leveraging integrated connectivity, EXO’s direct-to-cloud capability makes updates and data collection automatic and hassle-free.

• Unlimited Connectivity — Unlike the competition, each G7 EXO connects directly to the cloud so there are no range limits between monitors or a maximum number of devices allowed on the network. EXO comes with integrated cellular connectivity supported in over 100 countries, with available remote global coverage through an optional satellite module.

• Long Lasting Battery Life — EXO works harder and longer than the competition. You’ll get 100 days of continuous run time with a four-gas cartridge, including continuous cloud connectivity. Leave it for months without wasting valuable time changing batteries, and with an intrinsically safe charge cord or solar panel, you can keep EXO running virtually forever.

• Versatile Customisation and Integration — Two configurable output ports make it easy to integrate EXO into existing safety and control systems. EXO gives you versatile power options with 100-day battery, charge cord or solar panel, and integrates into your system at the systems or cloud level.

• Built For the Real World — With a tough, aluminum frame and rubber bumpers, EXO keeps working no matter what you or Mother Nature put it through. It’s designed for everyday wear and tear for workers on the go, so you can leave it outside and your worries behind.

Connected workplace

G7 EXO features two output ports that can be configured to send signals to other equipment on your site. Should gas levels reach a high threshold you can activate external sirens, open or close gates in the event

of an emergency, or flashlights and sound a siren to alert personnel within a zone.

During an emergency, the G7 device also leverages relays to communicate to other areas of your site, empowering real-time awareness and visibility of an incident. EXO connects your teammates through the use of zone alarms, automatically alerting other devices in its zone.

If you need to make changes on the fly? No problem, change or update EXO’s configuration over the air in seconds. The Blackline Safety G7 EXO delivers never-before-seen area monitoring control in a rugged, easy-to-use and deploy system.
