EXO 8 Overview
The EXO 8 is a next-generation multi-gas beacon designed by Blackline Safety. Capable of detecting up to eight gases simultaneously, it stands out with exceptional battery life of up to 100 days, real-time cloud connectivity, and multi-constellation GPS location technology. Rugged, ATEX and IP66 certified, it offers continuous, secure and autonomous monitoring, even in the most demanding or isolated industrial environments. Thanks to its multiple options (satellite module, pump, indoor beacon, solar panel), the EXO 8 adapts to all field constraints to ensure collective safety.
Why Choose an Autonomous Multi-Gas Monitoring Beacon?
In sensitive sectors such as petrochemicals, water treatment or energy production, continuous monitoring of toxic and explosive gases is essential. For environments that are difficult to access or not electrically powered, autonomy becomes a decisive criterion.
This is where Blackline Safety's EXO 8 stands out. It offers up to 100 days of battery life in continuous operation, while integrating high-precision multi-gas detection and real-time cloud connectivity.
Record Battery Life Thanks to a 144 Ah LiFePO4 Battery
The EXO 8 is powered by a 144 Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, adapted to critical industrial environments.
Diffusion Mode Battery Life: Up to 100 Days
In standard configuration (LEL-MPS, H2S, CO and O2 sensors at 20°C), the beacon can operate without interruption for 100 days, without recharging.
Pump Mode Battery Life (Optional): Up to 30 Days
With the four-channel pump module, battery life remains remarkable, reaching up to 30 days of continuous monitoring, even in confined spaces.
How to Further Extend EXO 8 Battery Life?
For long-term deployments, Blackline Safety offers an optional photovoltaic kit. This allows the device to be recharged in the field using solar energy, ideal for:
-Isolated industrial sites or sites without electricity
-ATEX classified areas
-Temporary monitoring of pipelines or tanks
Connected and Centralized 24/7 Monitoring
Extended battery life is complemented by reliable cloud connectivity. The EXO 8 transmits data via mobile networks, satellites or Bluetooth, enabling real-time monitoring of:
-Detected gas concentrations
-Precise GPS position (multi-constellation)
-Critical alerts and events
This information can be accessed remotely via a secure interface, facilitating rapid decisions and incident traceability.

FAQ -- Frequently Asked Questions about EXO 8 Battery Life
Does battery life vary according to the gases measured?
Yes, sensor configuration influences duration. Maximum battery life is achieved with basic sensors in diffusion mode. PID sensors or the pump can reduce this duration.
Can the EXO 8 be used outdoors for several months?
Yes, with the solar kit, the monitor can operate autonomously for several months, even without an external power source.
Is the battery replaceable in the field?
Yes, the battery is field replaceable. However, since the EXO 8 is often used in ATEX zones, it is strongly recommended to perform replacement off-site, in a secure and non-ATEX classified environment, to ensure optimal safety.
Conclusion
The EXO 8 by Blackline Safety delivers unmatched battery autonomy in the field of multi-gas monitoring. It is a reliable, rugged, and connected solution for high-risk area surveillance. Its up to 100-day battery life makes it a top-tier tool for industrial companies seeking to enhance safety, performance, and operational efficiency.
