High Urgency Notification Types

High urgency notifications types for G6.

High urgency notifications include:

  • High gas
  • Sensor over limit (OL)

  • Short term exposure limit (STEL)

  • Time weighted average (TWA)

  • SOS alert

High gas

The high gas notification is activated when G6 detects gas levels above the high gas concentration threshold configured in Blackline Live. If Live gas display is enabled, the live gas value also displays.

Note:

A G6 with an O2 sensor triggers high gas notifications in both oxygen-deficient and oxygen-enriched environments.

When you acknowledge the high urgency notification, G6's Home screen and banner reflect the high gas status until the gas conditions dissipate and the high gas event is resolved.

The device's red-light pattern persists after you acknowledge/mute the notification. If muted high gas event conditions persist past 60 seconds, the high gas notification reactivates with lights, sound, and vibration.

Following the high gas notification, the logged peak value of the high gas event displays on the Gas options screen.

The screen shows the peak value recorded until a new peak is reached, the peak value is manually reset, or the peak value automatically resets.

For more information on viewing and manually resetting gas readings, see Viewing and Resetting Gas Readings.

Sensor over limit (OL)

The sensor over limit (OL) notification is activated when your G6 detects that the gas reading has exceeded the range of its sensor.

When you acknowledge the high urgency notification, G6's Home screen and banner reflect the OL status until the OL event is resolved.

The device's red-light pattern persists after you acknowledge/mute the notification. If muted OL event conditions persist past 60 seconds, the OL notification reactivates with lights, sound, and vibration.

Following the OL gas notification, the logged peak value of the OL gas event displays on the Gas options screen.

The screen shows the peak value recorded until a new peak is reached, the peak value is manually reset, or the peak value automatically resets.

For more information on viewing and resetting gas readings, see Viewing and Resetting Gas Readings.

Short term exposure limit (STEL)

The sensor short term exposure limit (STEL) notification is activated when G6 detects the STEL threshold configured in Blackline Live is reached.

If a STEL notification is activated, immediately evacuate the area and follow your emergency safety protocol. Once you are in a safe location, read the information on G6's screen.

When you acknowledge the high urgency notification, G6's Home screen and banner reflect the STEL status until the gas conditions dissipate and the STEL event is resolved.

The device's red-light pattern persists after you acknowledge/mute the notification. If muted event conditions persist past 60 seconds, the STEL notification reactivates with lights, sound, and vibration.

Following the STEL gas notification, the notification remains active until the STEL value drops below the configured time and concentration setpoints, or the STEL value is manually reset.

Note:

You can reset the STEL while your device is experiencing a high urgency STEL notification to clear the STEL notification. If gas is still present, the corresponding high or low gas notification remains active.

Important:

STEL does not accumulate while G6 is docked or during compliance operations.

For more information on viewing and resetting gas readings, see Viewing and Resetting Gas Readings.

Time weighted average (TWA)

The time weighted average (TWA) notification is activated when G6 detects that the average allowable amount of gas exposure during a configurable interval (default: 8 hours) is exceeded.

If a TWA notification is activated, immediately evacuate the area and follow your emergency safety protocol. Once you are in a safe location, read the information on G6's screen.

When you acknowledge the notification, your device's banner and lights reflect the TWA status until the gas conditions dissipate and the TWA event is resolved.

The device's red-light pattern persists after you acknowledge/mute the notification. If muted event conditions persist past 60 seconds, the TWA notification reactivates with lights, sound, and vibration.

Following the TWA notification, the device shows the accumulation reading recorded until a until the TWA value drops below the configured time and concentration setpoints, or the TWA value is manually reset.

Important:

TWA does not accumulate while G6 is docked or during compliance operations.

For more information on viewing and resetting gas readings, refer to see Viewing and Resetting Gas Readings.

SOS alert

If you require immediate assistance, you can manually initiate an SOS alert. From the Home screen, press and hold the right button for the 3 second SOS countdown sequence.

Once the countdown sequence is completed, the device manually sends an SOS to the emergency contact (s) configured in your company's Blackline Live response protocol and requests immediate help to your location.

The device's red-light pattern persists after you acknowledge/mute the notification. If muted event conditions persist past 5 minutes, the SOS notification reactivates with lights, sound, and vibration.

When you acknowledge the notification, your device's banner and lights reflect the SOS status until you manually cancel the SOS event.

During an ongoing SOS notification, if the emergency condition has been resolved, you can press and hold the right button for 3 seconds to manually cancel the SOS alert. An SOS cancellation message is sent to Blackline Live.
