Alarm Indications
This section describes the 12 VDC Beacon 200 in alarm 1, alarm 2, and fail

settings for each channel and level of gas alarm. The alarm
indications described in this section operate according to the
factory set delay settings. See “Configure Channel Settings Menu”
on page 30 for all the factory settings.

NOTE: Under typical operating conditions, there will be no low power alarm. Most 12 VDC power sources’ output voltage
will decrease too quickly in a low power condition for the 12 VDC Beacon 200 to recognize a low power condition before it
shuts down.
* 1 If the 12 VDC Beacon 200 is in both an alarm 1 and an alarm 2 condition, both alarm lights are on and the
display alternates between the gas reading and the ALARM-1 ALARM-2 message.
