Page 15: Gas Detection
BUMP TEST What is a bump test? It is safe practice to regularly test gas sensors by applying the target gas. G7’s bump test also tests the operation of light, sound and vibration indicators. The bump test schedule depends on your company’s safety policy. G7 automatically communicates bump test data to the Blackline Safety Network, and will remind you when a bump test is overdue. - Page 16 Tubing Single-gas calibration cap Tubing Multi-gas calibration cap 16 || G7 TECHNICAL USER MANUAL...
-
Page 17: Calibration
You can individually choose which sensors to test. By default, G7 will test all sensors. Attach the calibration cap to your device G7 will begin to count down from 60. Apply the gas within this time window and continue to apply gas for 2 minutes. -
Page 18: Bump Test And Calibration Reminder Window
If a bump test or calibration comes due during your shift (not on startup), the device will not lock as this is a safety hazard, since the user will not be able to use G7 to call for help. The device will go into a yellow warning alarm for bump test or calibration due, and the message will display in the banner, but the device will remain fully functional. -
Page 19: Zero Sensors
ZERO SENSORS What is zeroing? If G7 is not reading zero and you know you are in an atmosphere with no gas, your gas sensor readings may have shifted. If this happens, it is best to calibrate your sensors. If you are unable to preform a calibration, you can zero your sensors to reset the baseline. -
Page 20: Gas Detection Features
GAS DETECTION FEATURES Once you have completed a bump test and calibration, G7 is ready to monitor and notify you of gas exposure. Gas detection alarms will notify you with either a yellow warning alarm or a red alert depending on the gas level measured. All settings are customizable in Blackline Live. -
