Beacon 110 Operator’s Manual 29
Chapter 6: Input Mode
Overview
This chapter describes how to use Input Mode to select the Beacon 110’s detector head
input type and the gas type. The detector head input type determines whether a direct
connect type or a 4 - 20 mA type of detector head will be used and the gas type
determines the target gas and detection range.
Input Mode includes a 5-minute time-out feature. If you do not press a button for 5
minutes, the Beacon 110 automatically returns to normal operation.
NOTE: If the Beacon 110 enters normal operation because of a program time-out, it
enters a warm-up period just as it does when it is first turned on.
Selecting the Detector Head Input and
Gas Type
1. While in normal operation or during the warm-up sequence, press and hold the UP/
YES and DOWN/NO buttons for five seconds. Release them when the following
screen appears.
2. If you want to exit Input Mode, press and release the DOWN/NO button. The Beacon
110 will indicate NO CHANGE and return to normal operation without making any
changes to the detector head input type or gas type.
If you want to continue in Input Mode, press and release the UP/YES button. The top
display line will indicate Input? and the bottom display line will indicate the detector
head input type choice.
3. Use the DOWN/NO button to scroll through the choices of input types. Table 8 below
lists the choices of input type for the Beacon 110.
