It supports both G7c and G7x devices with
single-gas, multi-gas diusion or multi-gas
pumped cartridges.
Simply insert G7, and G7 Dock will do the rest.
It automatically charges G7 and places it into
a test-ready mode to eliminate false alerts.
G7 Dock helps you keep fully compliant
according to your business calibration
and bump testing policies, so that it
always has your back.

GAS INLET CONFIGURATION
G7 Dock is equipped with a Gas Out exhaust and
4 gas inlets. The inlets are pre-programmed for you.
Changes to G7 Dock’s inlet conguration can be
made from your G7 Dock’s conguration prole,
from the Docks page on Blackline Live.
The activation code on the back of dock can be
used to identify it from the list. If you are having
diculties accessing this page or nding G7 Dock
in Blackline Live, please contact our Customer
Care team.
Gas Out Exhaust
When looking at the back of G7 Dock, the Gas
Out exhaust is the connector on the far left side of
the dock. It is used to transfer calibration gas to a
safe exhaust location.
NOTE: You should never plug gas into
the Gas Out exhaust.

Inlet 4 – Purge
This inlet supplies clean air, removing residual
gas from G7 Dock. When using Dock in dusty or
humid environments, you can attach the optional
dock lter subassembly included in the box.
The next three inlets are congured to support
the gases and gas mixtures below.
NOTE: If you are using chlorine with G7 Dock, a
stainless steel demand ow regulator is required.

CONNECTING TO GAS
Attaching G7 Dock to the gas cylinder is done
through the use of tubing and quick connects.
To attach the quick connects to G7 Dock:
1. Line up the quick connect ends
2. Twist clockwise until it clicks
securely into place
3. Ensure the other end of the tubing is
attached to a demand ow regulator
on the gas cylinder

HOW G7 DOCK WORKS
Powering on
Insert the power cable into the port on the
bottom of G7 Dock. Feed the power cable
through the tracks along the bottom to allow
the dock to lie at on a table surface or mount
on a wall.
When plugged in, the green light at the charge
clip will turn on to indicate power.
Opening G7 Dock lid
To open dock’s lid, press inward on the two red
tabs, and dock’s lid will spring open.

PLACING G7 IN G7 DOCK
1. Slide G7 device
into dock’s charge
clip at an angle -
ensure the
charge clips of
both devices
are connected.
In order for bump tests, calibration and charging
to work, G7 needs to be placed correctly in G7
Dock. To do so:
2. Keeping the charge
clips connected,
lie G7 down into
dock and push
down until it
clicks in place.
3. Close G7 Dock’s
lid and press
down until the
release tabs click
into place on
both sides.

MULTIDOCK SETUP
Multiple G7 Docks can be connected to a single
gas cylinder by using tubes, check valves and
T-connectors for situations where multiple G7
devices need calibrating or bump testing. One
gas cylinder is able to support ve G7 Docks at
one time.
A multi-dock setup kit can be requested from
Blackline and will include a multi-dock guide with
more information.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
How do I care for my G7 Dock?
To make sure G7 Dock is in working
condition, ensure the following:
Gas valves inside the G7 Dock lid
move easily and are free of debris
Gas inlets and outlet are free of debris
Charge clip is free of debris
To clean G7 Dock, disconnect from power
and wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not use
pressure spray or cleaning solvents. For best
performance, G7 Dock should be operated in
a dry and dust-free environment.
Why is G7 telling me to close
the lid when it’s already closed?
If your device is telling you to close the lid, it is
likely that the lid has not been closed properly.
Ensure that you press down on both sides of the
lid so that both release tabs click into place.
Why is my device unresponsive
when I put it into G7 Dock?
If your device does not respond when placed
into G7 Dock, it may not be properly connected
to Dock, or the Dock may not be connected to a
power supply. Try replacing your device into G7
Dock, and ensure that Dock is connected to a
power source.

Why are my calibrations
and bump tests failing?
Calibrations and bump tests can fail if there is
not enough gas reaching the sensors. To ensure
that gas is owing from the gas cylinder to G7
Dock, check that:
There are no kinks or crimps in the tubing
The gauge on the gas cylinder
indicates there is gas inside
The gas cylinder is using a
demand-ow regulator
The quick-connects are properly
connected to G7 Dock
Gas concentrations in the gas cylinder
match device and dock congurations
If G7 Dock is still not operating correctly,
please contact Customer Care.
