G7 wearable safety monitors are unrivaled in their configurability, leveraging a range of plug-and-play gas sensor cartridges. Blackline's new pump cartridge is the fourth in a lineup that supports gas detection, lone worker monitoring, evacuation management and now confined space entry and leak checks. \n\n \n \n\n \n\"Our new pump cartridge enables workers to remotely sample the atmosphere of a confined space before entering, using the internal pump and a probe or length of tubing,\" said Sean Stinson, VP Sales and Product Management at Blackline Safety. \"Weighing just over half an ounce more than our non-pump cartridge, G7 is the only cloud-connected gas detector on the market with internal cellular connectivity and the option for satellite communications. G7 uses internal assisted-GPS and proprietary beacons to location-enable every confined space entry and leak check. Blackline delivers unrivaled visualization and record-keeping within Blackline's cloud-hosted data analytics software.\"\nWhen equipped with a pump cartridge, users can select a G7 'pre-entry' or 'leak check' mode that turns on the internal pump. G7 shifts from monitoring gas by diffusion to sampling a remote atmosphere using the internal pump. Sampled air is pulled through a length of tubing or sample probe, keeping the worker out of harm's way, anticipating that an atmosphere is toxic until proven safe. \nBlackline's G7 is the first portable gas monitor on the market equipped with...
