Chapter 6: Input Setup Program
Overview
This chapter describes how to use the Input Setup Program to add a
channel or change the channel type of an installed channel on the 12 VDC
Beacon 200. The Input Setup Program allows you to define the type of
detector head, the units and gas type, and the full scale for that channel.
To enter the Input Setup Program, the 12 VDC Beacon 200 must first be
off. While the 12 VDC Beacon 200 is off, press and hold the ENTER button,
then turn on the 12 VDC Beacon 200 with the ON/OFF switch.
The Input Setup Program menu includes a 5-minute time-out feature. If you
do not press a button for 5 minutes, the 12 VDC Beacon 200 automatically
begins normal operation.
NOTE: If the 12 VDC Beacon 200 enters normal operation because of a
program time-out, the active channels enter a warm-up period just
as they do when the unit is first turned on.
