Chapter 3: Installation and Start Up
Overview
This chapter describes procedures showing how to mount the Beacon 800 Gas Monitor, to
make wiring connections to the monitor, and to start up the monitor.
WARNING: Perform all installation and start-up procedures in a “fresh air”
environment of normal oxygen content, and known to be free of
combustible and toxic gas. The Beacon 800 is not in operation as a
gas monitoring system until the start-up procedure is complete.
Mounting the Beacon 800 Gas Monitor
Perform the following procedure to install the Beacon 800 at the mounting site.
1. Select the mounting site. When you select the mounting site, consider the following
factors:
• Is an AC or DC power source available?
• Is there enough room to open the housing door and make wiring connections
through the conduit hubs at the bottom of the housing?
• Are the display screens and status lights visible?
2. Close and latch the housing door.
3. Position the monitor on a vertical surface at eye level (4 1/2 to 5 feet from the floor).
4. The Beacon 800 is shipped with the mounting feet positioned under the housing.
Loosen the screws that secure the feet to the housing, rotate the feet to their mounting
position (as shown in Figure 4), then tighten the screws.
5. Insert 1/4 in. screws through the slots in the mounting feet at each corner of the
housing to secure the housing to the mounting surface (see Figure 4).
