Advanced connected multi-gas detector with up to 5 gas detection, lone worker monitoring, push-to-talk communication, and real-time cloud connectivity for hazardous work environments.
The Blackline Safety G8 is an advanced connected multi-gas detector that revolutionizes personal gas detection by combining up to 5 simultaneous gas detection capabilities, lone worker monitoring, push-to-talk communication, and real-time cloud connectivity in a single intrinsically safe wearable device. As the successor to the Blackline G7c, the G8 features a larger 64-colour backlit display, a powerful 35-lumen flashlight, and innovative NFC TagAssign™ technology for instant device assignment at shift start.
The G8 seamlessly connects to the Blackline Live cloud platform over 4G LTE, providing live gas readings, worker location tracking, and safety alerts in real time. It eliminates the need to carry separate gas detection, lone worker, and radio devices, streamlining worker safety protocols. The detector features built-in push-to-talk radio, emergency voice calling, and text messaging capabilities, enabling workers to communicate effectively without carrying additional two-way radios. Dual-band GNSS/GPS provides location accuracy within one metre, ensuring precise worker tracking.
The G8 is compatible with three cartridge types - single-gas diffusion, multi-gas diffusion, and multi-gas pump - for various work environments including confined space pre-entry work. It is suitable for use across multiple industries including oil and gas, utilities, water and wastewater, fire and hazmat, petrochemical, and renewable energy sectors. The device is protected by more than a dozen patents and offers automated compliance reporting with bump test and calibration records, historical trend data for incident investigation, and 24/7 monitoring capabilities via your own control room, Blackline SOC, or global ARC partners.
