1.4 GAS INLET MODULES
What is a gas inlet module?
Gas inlets enable calibration, bump tests and air sampling from remote
areas. Gas inlet modules allow you to change EXO’s gas inlets to better
suit your area monitoring needs. Gas inlet modules are always tted with
one diusion gas inlet and may also include up to 4 pump gas inlets.
Diusion module
This module has a manual calibration inlet that requires a fixed flow
regulator to function correctly.
Four-channel pump module
This module has a manual calibration inlet that requires a xed ow
regulator to function correctly. It also has four pump inlets that can
sample air from remote areas using internal pumps and external tubes.
1.5 CONNECTION MODULES
What is a connection module?
A connection module links EXO to the Blackline Safety Cloud using a
cellular network or the Iridium satellite network.
EXO will rst try to connect to the Blackline Safety Cloud with the built
in cellular connection module. If cellular coverage is not available and
an optional satellite connection module is installed, EXO will try to
connect to the Blackline Safety Network through the Iridium satellite
network. See sections 2.5 and 3.2 for more information on connectivity.
Cellular connection module
This module works with 2G/4G networks in Europe, and 3G/4G
networks in North America to connect EXO to the Blackline Safety
Network. Cellular series are available in over 100 countries, supporting
over 200 cellular networks. This module is built into every EXO.
Satellite connection module
When EXO is not in cellular coverage, this module works with the
Iridium satellite network to connect EXO to the Blackline Safety Cloud.
In the future, this module can be pre-installed in EXO. It can also be
purchased as an upgrade for EXOs in the eld and will need to be
installed by a trained technician.
NOTE: Two-way voice capabilities and push-to-talk are not available
when connected via satellite.
