Powering On EXO 8

Powering on EXO initiates the device’s start-up sequence.

  1. Press and hold the power button for two seconds.

    EXO performs a hardware self-test of lights and sounds.

    Note:

    Your device only displays the firmware successfully updated screen during the power-on sequence if your device restarted due to a firmware installation.

    The screen displays the active features on EXO.

    EXO displays the gas and gamma setpoints for all sensors that are configured on the device.

    If bump test and calibration reminders are configured in Blackline Live, EXO indicates when the next bump tests and calibrations are due.

    If EXO is configured to zero on start-up, your device indicates if the operation was successful. If the zero was unsuccessful, manually zero the device.

  2. At the end of the start-up sequence, a prompt to start the setup wizard displays on the screen.

    EXO has finished its start-up sequence when it completes the following:

    • EXO sounds a chime, signaling it is powering on.

    • The top lights flash.

    • The green connectivity light stops flashing and becomes solid, indicating EXO is connected to Blackline Live.

Note:

If you see an O2 stabilizing message on EXO’s screen, it means EXO is not monitoring. Stabilization takes approximately 10 seconds. However, if EXO has been powered off for a significant period, it can take up to 20 minutes for the O2 sensor to stabilize. If this message persists, contact your organization’s safety professional.
