1 OVERVIEW

G6 Dock is Blackline Safety’s accessory for completing compliance operations (bump testing

and calibration) on G6.

1.1 G6 DOCK CONNECTIVITY

G6 Dock is not inherently connected to any network or Blackline Live. When a G6 is placed in

G6 Dock, the device communicates to G6 Dock.

When locked into G6 Dock, your G6 automatically connects to Blackline Live so that bump

test and calibration data can be uploaded, and G6’s compliance certifications synchronized.

In addition, locking a device into G6 Dock enables the dock to update. For more information

on how to update G6 Dock, refer to Updating G6 Dock.

NOTE: G6 does not need to be connected to Blackline Live to charge or complete calibrations

and bump tests using G6 Dock.

1.2 BLACKLINE LIVE

Blackline Live keeps track of G6 and G6 Dock events, including notification history, gas

calibrations, and bump tests, and eliminates the need to manually retrieve data logs from the

field. When in G6 Dock, all G6 compliance data is communicated to Blackline Live.

For more information, please see Blackline Live.

2 SET UP

2.1 GAS INLET CONFIGURATION

G6 Dock is equipped with Gas out exhaust, Purge gas inlet, and Gas inlet ports:

•The Gas out exhaust is used to transfer calibration gas to a safe exhaust location,

depending on your company’s safety policy.

IMPORTANT: Never connect a gas cylinder to the Gas out exhaust port.

•The Purge gas inlet supplies clean air to remove residual gas from G6 Dock. This can

be ambient air, or you can connect an air tank, depending on your operating

environment.

NOTE: When using G6 Dock in dusty or humid environments, you can attach the

optional inlet filter subassembly (ACC-INLET-FILTER) to the Purge gas inlet to ensure

the Dock is being purged with clean, dry air.

•During calibration and bump tests, a calibration gas cylinder is connected to the Gas

inlet to supply the gas used by the dock to calibrate and bump test your G6.

NOTE: If your G6 has a sensor other than H2S, your Blackline Live administrator must

select the target gas for G6 Dock, based on your G6 sensor type.

2.2 CONNECTING G6 DOCK TO A GAS CYLINDER

G6 Dock ports have quick-connects to allow for easy connection of a gas cylinder. Insert the

provided quick-connect into the tubing, then join the tubing to the Gas inlet at the back of G6

Dock by connecting both quick-connect ends and twisting clockwise until it clicks securely into

place. Ensure the other end of the tubing is attached to a demand flow regulator on the gas

cylinder.

3 OPERATING

3.1 REQUIREMENTS

To operate G6 Dock, you will need the following:

•G6 personal safety monitoring device

•Gas cylinder with specific single-gas or multi-gas mixture containing G6’s gas

•Tubing

•120/240 VAC power source and power components provided with G6 Dock

CAUTION:You must use the power components provided with your G6 Dock. Using other

power components could damage the dock.

3.2 POWERING ON G6 DOCK

G6 Dock is equipped with a micro-USB power cable.

To connect G6 Dock to power:

1. Insert the power cable into the port on the

bottom of G6 Dock.

2. Feed the power cable through the tracks along

the bottom to allow the dock to lie flat on a

surface.

When plugged in, the green light on the front of

G6 Dock will turn on to indicate power.

3.3 LOCKING G6 INTO G6 DOCK

To access the following G6 Dock functionality, G6 needs to be locked into G6 Dock:

Charging G6

Bump testing G6

Calibrating G6

Accessing the G6 Dock menu.

To lock G6 into G6 Dock:

1. Place G6 into the G6 Dock cradle, ensuring that the data and power contacts of both

devices are lined up.

2. Position your fingers over the top indicator lights and press G6 firmly down into the

cradle until the G6 Dock locking mechanism clicks into place.

IMPORTANT:

To ensure that the G6 and G6 Dock power and data

contacts connect securely, avoid pressing G6 into the dock cradle using

the antenna. Always lock G6 into the dock cradle by pressing directly

down on G6’s top indicator lights.
