High-urgency Notifications
A detailed description of the high-urgency notifications available for G8.
High-urgency notifications communicate events that require your immediate attention and action. A high-urgency notification includes red flashing lights, sound, vibration, and an on-screen message specific to the event.
If your organization is monitored, high-urgency notifications are immediately communicated to monitoring personnel and automatically generate an alert in Blackline Live.
NOTE: If your configuration profile has the gas alert countdown timer enabled, communication with monitoring personnel is delayed by 30 seconds.
High-urgency notifications include:
|
|
Fall detected The fall detected notification sensitivity is configurable by your Blackline Live administrator. If your device detects a potential fall and you have not responded to the low-urgency potential fall detected notification, your device activates a high-urgency fall detected notification. If AlertLink is enabled, G8 and EXO devices within the configured proximity radius of your device at the time of the triggering event receive a low-urgency notification and a message with the alert details. Note: EXO may be excluded from receiving AlertLink messages. | ||
No-motion detected The no-motion detected interval and sensitivity are configurable by your Blackline Live administrator. If you are not moving and you have not responded to the low-urgency potential no-motion detected notification, your device activates a high-urgency no-motion detected notification. If AlertLink is enabled, G8 and EXO devices within the configured proximity radius of your device at the time of the triggering event receive a low-urgency notification and a message with the alert details. Note: EXO
may be excluded from receiving AlertLink messages. | ||
| Missed check-in Check-in requests are configurable by your Blackline Live administrator. Both the check-in timer and pending notification time can be configured. If you do not check-in during the low-urgency check-in notification, your device activates a high-urgency missed check-in notification. | ||
High gas The high-gas threshold notification is activated when G8 detects gas levels above the high-gas concentration threshold configured by your Blackline Live administrator. A device equipped with an O2 sensor activates high-gas notifications in both oxygen-deficient and oxygen‑enriched environments. If you mute the high-gas notification, your device's banner and lights reflect the high threshold status to indicate that the alert is still active until gas conditions return to normal and the high-gas event is resolved. If muted high-gas event conditions persist past 60 seconds, the high-gas notification re-triggers with lights, sounds, and vibration until the high-gas event is resolved. G8 is equipped with a high-gas countdown timer that is configurable (enabled/disabled) by your Blackline Live administrator. Enabling the countdown timer can help reduce the frequency of false high gas event notifications. This timer can be configured to delay activation for 60, 90, or 120 seconds. If enabled, the countdown timer delays connecting to Blackline Live for 30 seconds (default). If AlertLink is enabled, G8 and EXO devices within the configured proximity radius of your device at the time of the triggering event receive a low-urgency notification and a message with the alert details. Note: EXO may be excluded from receiving AlertLink messages. Following the high-gas notification, the logged peak value of the high-gas event displays on the Gas options screen. The device shows the peak value recorded until a new peak is reached, or the peak value is reset during a power cycle of the device. | ||
Over Limit (OL) The sensor over limit (OL) notification is activated when your device detects that the gas reading has exceeded the range of its sensor. When you acknowledge the OL notification, your device's banner and lights reflect the high-gas status until the gas conditions dissipate and the OL event is resolved. If AlertLink is enabled, G8 and EXO devices within the configured proximity radius of your device at the time of the triggering event receive a low-urgency notification and a message with the alert details. Note: EXO may be excluded from receiving AlertLink messages. Following the OL notification, the logged peak value of the OL event displays on the Gas options screen. The device shows the peak value recorded until a new peak is reached, or the peak value is reset when the device is power cycled. Your Blackline Live administrator can configure your device to have G8 resume readings instead. | ||
Short-term exposure limit (STEL) The sensor short term exposure limit (STEL) notification is activated when G8 detects that the configured STEL threshold has been reached. STEL refers to the gas concentration you can be exposed to over a short, rolling time frame (default: 15 minutes) without adverse health effects. When you acknowledge the notification, your device's banner and lights continue to reflect the STEL status until gas levels drop and the event is resolved. The red-light pattern persists after acknowledgment. If muted, and STEL conditions persist past 60 seconds, the notification reactivates with lights, sound, and vibration. Following the STEL notification, the logged STEL value displays on the Gas options screen until the device is power cycled. Note: Your
Blackline Live administrator can configure your device to have G8 resume
readings instead. | ||
SOS Alert If you require assistance, you can pull the red latch to manually send an SOS to monitoring personnel and request immediate help to your location. When you acknowledge the notification, G8's lights turn off. The Alert generated banner remains on the screen until dismissed or automatically cleared. The SOS alert notification is configurable by your Blackline Live administrator. If AlertLink is enabled, G8. G7 and EXO devices within the configured proximity radius of your device at the time of the triggering event receive a low-urgency notification and a message with the alert details. Note: EXO may be excluded from receiving AlertLink messages. | ||
Silent SOS G8 can be configured to send a silent SOS alert notification that does not activate its light, sound, and vibration indicators. When a silent SOS is triggered, a Silent SOS banner appears with a circle-and-exclamation icon to indicate the alert has been sent. Once acknowledged by the Safety Operations Center, a checkmark displays beside the banner icon. Note: If
you don't have a PTT service plan, G8's PTT button can be configured to send a
silent SOS. | ||
Time-weighted Average (TWA) The time weighted average (TWA) notification is activated when G8 detects that you have exceeded the average allowable amount of gas exposure during a preset interval (default: eight hours). The TWA interval used to calculate your allowable gas exposure is configurable and depends on the measuring method configured for your device by your Blackline Live administrator:
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 logged peak value of the TWA event displays on the Gas options screen. The device shows the peak value recorded until a new peak is reached, or the peak value is reset when the device is power cycled. Note: Your
Blackline Live administrator can configure your device to have G8 resume
readings instead. |
