Gas detection should not be complicated. The Beacon™ 800 is gas
detection simplified.
The Beacon™ 800 is a simplified, 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 115 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 also housed in a NEMA 4X rated case for a weather
tight seal. This case design complies with the new lock out / tag out
standard 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 10 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.
