blacklinseafety G6 Dock GAS PORT
Product Information
The G6 Dock is a cradle designed to be used with the G6 gas detector. It is equipped with a Gas out exhaust, a purge inlet, and a gas inlet. The Gas out exhaust is used to transfer calibration gas to a safe exhaust location. The Purge inlet supplies clean air, removing residual gas from the dock. The Gas inlet is preprogrammed for H2S gas, but can be updated for other gas sensors.
Gas Port Configuration
- Gas Out Exhaust: Located on the right side of the dock when viewed from the back. Used to transfer calibration gas to a safe exhaust location. Never connect a gas cylinder to this port.
- Purge Inlet: Located on the bottom left side of the dock when viewed from the back. Supplies clean air and removes residual gas. Attach the optional dock filter in dusty or humid environments.
- Gas Inlet: Located on the top left side of the dock when viewed from the back. By default, preprogrammed for H2S gas. Update the inlet in Blackline Live if using a different gas sensor.
