4. Guide the wiring from the recording device through the selected
conduit hub on the Beacon 200.
5. Connect the wires form the recording device to the recorder output
terminals as shown in Figure 9.
Connecting RKI Detector Heads
Perform the following procedure to connect an RKI detector head to the
Beacon 200.
1. Turn off Power to the Beacon 200 at the power source.
2. Open the Beacon 200 door and place the power switch in the off
position.
3. See the detector head instruction manual for instructions on how to
connect wires to the detector head.
4. Install an appropriately rated cable bushing or conduit in an unused
conduit hub on the bottom of the Beacon 200 housing.
5. Route the wires in conduit or shielded cable from the detector head
through the selected conduit hub into the Beacon 200. See Table 5
below for wire size and distance guidelines.
Unshielded twisted pair cable in conduit or shielded twisted pair cable is
recommended for all the direct connect detector heads. For the LEL
detector, pair the R & B wires and the W & G wires. Shielded cable or
wires in conduit are recommended for the 2-wire and 3-wire 4 - 20 mA
transmitters.
6. Connect the wires from the detector head to the appropriate detector/
transmitter terminals. The top detector terminal strip is for channel 1
and the bottom one is for channel 2. See the detector head instruction
manual for controller terminal connections.
