About the 12 VDC Beacon 200
The 12 VDC Beacon 200 is a fixed-mounted, continuous-monitoring gas
detection instrument. This gas monitor is capable of detecting gas at two
locations. The display screen simultaneously displays the gas readings of
the active channel or channels. Both direct connect (internal amplifier type)
detector heads and 4 - 20 mA transmitter (remote amplifier type) detector
heads may be used with the 12 VDC Beacon 200.
The 12 VDC Beacon 200 includes audible and visual alarms that warn you
of hazardous gas conditions. The alarm circuit includes two levels of gas
alarms. The fail circuit alerts you to failures in the gas detector heads or 12
VDC Beacon 200.
Three instrument programs allow you to display and change channel and
calibration settings and change channel types. They are the Channel
Control & Setup Program and the Calibration Program, and the Input Setup
Program.
