RKI Instruments Beacon 800 Quick Start Manual

Gas Detection For Life
C US C US
Gas detection should not be complicated. The Beacon™ 800 is gas detection simplified.
The Beacon™ 800 is a versatile, low cost fixed system controller for one to eight points of gas detection. It is microprocessor
controlled and is capable of accepting up to 8 separate 4-20 mA sensor transmitters which can be either 2 or 3 wire. The
Beacon™ 800 can be powered by either 24 VDC, or 85-264 VAC. It is simple to operate and comes complete with a wall
mount installation kit.
The 2 large digital displays have backlighting and easily identify both the gas type and the gas concentration for all 8
channels simultaneously. The Beacon™ 800 is housed in a NEMA 4X rated case for a weather tight seal. This case design
complies with lock out / tag out standards and can be fully secured. An external reset switch allows alarms to be silenced
from outside the controller housing. The bottom mounted wiring hubs allow for easy wiring.
With 3 amp rated relays, the Beacon™ 800 can be wired directly to a variety of devices like alarm horns, buzzers, or lights.
This eliminates the need for costly external relays from the controller to devices. RKI offers the industry's widest selection of
standard and toxic gas detection sensors, which can be utilized with the Beacon™ 800, providing gas monitoring protection
for almost any application.
