TGX® Gateway

The TGX Gateway is a vehicle-installed device that transmits critical safety data from Ventis Pro5 personal gas monitors and Radius BZ1 area monitors to iNet Now Live Monitoring software. This makes it an ideal solution for monitoring the safety of mobile workers in remote areas where cellular coverage may be limited. Ventis Pro5 or Radius BZ1 will transmit location, gas readings, and alarms via LENS Wireless to the TGX. The TGX will upload the critical safety information in real time, giving safety personnel full visibility into their workers and improving their response times.

The TGX Gateway uses cellular connectivity to upload data. If cellular connectivity cannot be established, the TGX will automatically switch to a satellite connection.

Easily! The TGX Gateway is equipped with LENS Wireless. Any Ventis Pro5 or Radius BZ1 with LENS Wireless can easily connect to a TGX using the LENS Group mode in iNet Control+. The group name should be the same for any TGX, Ventis Pro, or Radius BZ1 to communicate with each other. Once connected, communications will be sent at the following frequencies:

• With a cellular connection, a Ventis Pro5 or Radius BZ1 can send location and status (“I’m OK” message) updates every four minutes in a normal state. When in alarm, the information is transmitted immediately and updated every minute.
• With satellite connectivity, Ventis Pro5 or Radius BZ1 can send location and status (“I’m OK” message) updates every 10 minutes in a normal state. When in alarm, the information is updated every two minutes.

You will need to hardwire the TGX Gateway to a vehicle, which is a common practice for fleet or vehicle managers. TGX comes with a three-wire power cable that will connect to the engine’s ignition source. Once installed, TGX will use the vehicle battery for its power source. It will not drain a vehicle’s battery because the TGX Gateway monitors the voltage level to ensure the vehicle’s battery always has enough power.

TGX also comes with two antennae: one for satellite and the other for cell, LENS, and GPS signals. Those antennae must be mounted on top of the car’s roof using the pre-installed magnets. For vehicles with aluminum bodies, TGX comes with a double-sided adhesive to attach antennae to the vehicle.

You can configure how long the TGX Gateway needs to be operational after the engine is off. The keep-awake feature can be set between 1 and 240 minutes.

The TGX Gateway will run indefinitely because it is using a vehicle battery.

You will need a subscription to iNet Now Live Monitoring software for every Ventis Pro5 or Radius BZ1 that sends data through the TGX Gateway. The fee is monthly, with a minimum 12-month commitment.

Each TGX requires a monthly data charge to cover satellite charges, also with a minimum 12-month commitment.
