Configuring Operating Modes
Operating modes are customized in the G7 configuration profile in Blackline Live. Each profile supports up to a total of five modes. These modes allow G7 to temporarily change its behavior for different situations and can be turned on and off through G7’s interface.
Available operating modes include:
Normal mode
Pre-entry
SCBA
Leak check
Pump run
High risk
Over LEL
Some modes can be configured in Blackline Live so that they are only available when a pump cartridge is installed. To enter a mode that uses the pump, you must complete a successful pump block test.
If the Auto pump start configuration is enabled or A-CART is installed, G7 devices will only operate in pumped modes. Diffusion modes are disabled, including:
Normal operation (pump off)
Pre-entry (pump off)
High risk
Leak check (pump off)
SCBA
Over LEL
Operating modes used in areas with potential gas (pre-entry, SCBA, leak check, and over LEL) have a timeout period. After the timeout interval elapses, G7 prompts you whether you would like to continue in this mode:
If you select Yes, the mode remains active.
If you select No, G7 returns to normal operation.
If you do not make a selection within 30 seconds, G7 automatically returns to normal operation. If you have a check-in timer enabled, G7 prompts you to check in.
