The EXO Location Beacon by Blackline Safety is a powerful tool designed to enhance worker safety in environments where traditional GPS tracking may fall short. These beacons address the common challenge of monitoring personnel in areas with weak or obstructed GPS signals, offering a reliable solution for tracking in complex and hazardous workplaces.

 

 

Description

Working seamlessly with Blackline Safety devices such as the G7 EXO and G7 gas detectors, EXO Location Beacons emit location signals that are picked up by nearby monitors. When strategically placed throughout a site, they enable precise indoor and underground positioning, ensuring that workers are always locatable, even in GPS-challenged environments.

Unlike GPS, which can struggle indoors or near large equipment and metal structures, EXO Location Beacons offer consistent, dependable location data. This improved accuracy proves especially critical in emergencies, where knowing the exact location of a worker can dramatically reduce response times and potentially save lives.

Integration with the Blackline Live portal allows companies to upload site-specific floor plans and maps, giving safety managers an intuitive and comprehensive view of personnel movements. This feature helps optimise safety protocols and enhances situational awareness for both day-to-day operations and critical incident response.

EXO Location Beacons are versatile and suitable for a wide range of industries, including factories, warehouses, construction sites, offshore oil platforms, and underground mines. Their robust design makes them ideal for deployment in harsh environments, and their compatibility with various Blackline devices ensures seamless integration.

Key features include intrinsic safety for hazardous zones, simple setup and management, and the ability to deliver detailed location data using custom site maps. Altogether, the EXO Location Beacon stands as a vital innovation for improving workplace safety and operational efficiency in challenging settings.

FAQs
How long will my battery last?

Location Beacon has a battery life of 5 years continuous operation at its highest power transmit setting.

How many beacons does one area need?

The amount of beacons in one space depends on the size of the room. One beacon is usually adequate for a 400 square foot space. If a room has large obstacles (such as piping or equipment) it is a good idea to separate it into four quadrants with one beacon in each. Increasing the number of beacons and lowering their signal strength can allow for higher precision

Location Beacon has no light, is it working?

Beacon’s status light automatically sleeps two minutes after the last button press to conserve energy. By pressing the button, it will wake up the status light for approximately two minutes.

How far away can Location Beacons be detected?

The range of a location beacon is highly dependent on the installation of the beacon and the positioning of personal monitor. The Location beacon can be configured with one of four different power levels. The power levels correspond to an approximate line of sight range of 15 feet (level 2), 30 feet (level 3), 60 feet (level 4) and 120 feet (level 5).

Beacons are shipped in the lowest transmit power setting level (Level 2). This level is appropriate for most installations.

Location Beacon has a blinking red light, what does this mean?

A blinking red light means that Location Beacon has low battery.
