COMPONENTS

IMPORTANT: Do not discard your G7 EXO Pump components. Device components can be re-installed in G7 EXO as your area monitoring requirements change.
To uninstall G7 EXO Pump components:

Power off EXO. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the pump cartridge cover.
NOTE: The captive screws should stay attached to the pump cartridge cover. Once the cover is removed, set it aside for storage.
Remove the device’s gas sensor cartridge by pulling it out of its slot in the pump gas chamber, and then set it aside for re-installation into the device.
Remove the pump module:
a. Place G7 EXO on its side with the pump module facing upwards.
b. Remove the screws from the pump module and set them aside.
c. Carefully lift the module, using your fingers to detach the quick connect from G7 EXO.
d. Remove and set the pump module aside with the other pump components.
e. Stand G7 EXO upright.
Remove the pump gas chamber:
a. Remove the screws and washers from each side of the pump gas chamber.
b. Slide the chamber out of the front enclosure, using your fingers to carefully detach the pump gas chamber coupling from G7 EXO’s inlet tubing.
NOTE: You may need to gently unclip or adjust the tubing by sliding it through the tube clamp to shorten the loop to allow for the movement of the pump gas chamber.
IMPORTANT: During any adjustment of the inlet tubing and clamp, take care not to dislodge the display ribbon cable connector. If you dislodge the connector, gently reconnect it before proceeding.
c. Set aside the pump gas chamber with the other pump components.
Collect and properly store the pump components set aside in the previous steps.
The device is ready for the installation of new components. For instructions on installing upgraded G7 EXO Diffusion components, see Installing G7 EXO Diffusion Components.

Remove the diffusion module:
a. Place G7 EXO on its side with the diffusion module facing upwards.
b. Remove the screws from the diffusion module and set them aside.
c. Carefully lift the module, using your fingers to detach the module’s quick connect from G7 EXO.
d. Remove and set the diffusion module aside with the screws and diffusion cartridge cover.
e. Stand G7 EXO upright.
Remove the diffusion chamber:
a. Remove the screws and washers from each side of the diffusion chamber.
b. Slide the chamber out from its slot, using your fingers to carefully detach the diffusion chamber coupling from G7 EXO’s inlet tubing.
If you uninstalled upgraded diffusion components, collect and properly store the diffusion components set aside in the previous steps.
If you uninstalled older diffusion components, properly dispose of the old diffusion components.
The device is ready for the installation of new components. For instructions on installing G7 EXO Pump components, refer to Installing G7 EXO Pump Components. For instructions on installing upgraded G7 EXO Diffusion components, refer to Installing G7 EXO Diffusion Components.

INSTALLING G7 EXO COMPONENTS

4.1 INSTALLING G7 EXO PUMP COMPONENTS blackline safety G7 EXO Diffusion
and Pump Conversion - COMPONENTS 3

To convert from G7 EXO Diffusion to G7 EXO Pump, you will install the pump components.
You will need:

G7 EXO with the previous components removed
G7 EXO pump conversion kit (ACC-G7EXO-PUMP)
Screwdriver (#2 Phillips)

To install the G7 EXO Pump components:
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the G7 EXO Diffusion components have been uninstalled. For detailed instructions, refer to Uninstalling G7 EXO Diffusion Components.

Install the pump gas chamber:
a. Using your fingers, attach the pump gas chamber coupling to G7 EXO’s inlet tubing.
b. Carefully push the inlet tubing back into G7 EXO’s interior.
c. Slide the pump gas chamber into its slot and secure the chamber using two screws and washers, ensuring they are snug but not over-tight.
Install the pump module:
a. Place G7 EXO on its side with the module opening facing upwards.
b. Check inside the module opening to see if the inlet tubing is crimped. Ensure the clip is correctly attached and, if necessary, gently adjust the inlet tubing by sliding it through the tube clamp to elongate the loop.
IMPORTANT: During any adjustment of the inlet tubing and clamp, take care not to dislodge the display ribbon cable connector. If you dislodge the connector, gently reconnect it before proceeding.
c. Attach the pump module to G7 EXO using the inlet tubing quick-connect.
d. Line up the pump module’s male connector with EXO’s female connector and tuck the tubing under EXO’s internal frame.
e. Lower the pump module into the opening until it is flush with EXO’s frame. Ensure that the inlet tubing remains tucked under G7 EXO’s internal frame.
WARNING: The pump module is designed to lay flush with the opening. Make sure the inlet tubing is not pinched between the module and EXO’s frame.
WARNING: DO NOT force or otherwise use undue pressure when lowering the module into place. Forcing the module into place or not lining up the connectors may result in permanent, unrepairable damage to EXO. Refer to the following schematics for more information.

G7 EXO Diffusion is ready for use.
NOTE: When bump testing or calibrating G7 EXO Diffusion in windy conditions, the wind guard is required to help regulate the flow and concentration of gas delivered to the sensors. blackline safety G7 EXO
Diffusion and Pump Conversion - Diffusion
WARNING: Always remove the wind guard as soon as G7 EXO has been successfully bump tested and calibrated. Failure to do so will slow down EXO’s response to hazardous gases.
For detailed instructions on installing and using the wind guard, refer to the G7 EXO Technical User Manual.
