G7 Dock requires no initial setup — all communications and configurations work out of the box. G7 Dock leverages Blackline Live cloud-hosted monitoring portal for configuration and to store test data for compliance tracking and reporting.

With G7 Dock, bump tests and calibrations are straightforward, performed by simply placing G7 into the dock and using the inserted G7 device's LCD screen and menu system. If a G7 device is due for a bump test and/or calibration, it will automatically perform the required test actions when placed into the dock and the lid closed. All test results are communicated in real-time to the user's Blackline Live account after test actions are complete.

Blackline Live makes it easy to manage changes to G7 Dock inlet configurations. Many organizations leverage the convenience of multi-gas mixtures while others employ single-gas cylinders for the improved cost of detector testing and calibration. The default configuration for G7 Dock is a multi-gas mixture, but also supports single-gas setups. Each dock has five ports at the back of the device — four gas inlets and one outlet for exhausting calibration gas. G7 Dock is configurable to manage up to four gas cylinders.

Blackline Safety designed G7 Dock to provide economical use of calibration gas, with a low flow rate.
