Beacon 110 Controller for Fixed Gas Detection Systems
002749-HW-RKI-049
Overview
The Beacon 110 is a powerful, low cost fixed system controller for one point of gas detection. It is microprocessor controlled, versatile, simple to install and operate, and priced to be the industry’s best value single gas detection controller. It is capable of accepting RKI sensors directly for LEL level combustibles, Oxygen, Hydrogen Sulfide, or Carbon Monoxide. The Beacon 110 can also accept any 4-20 mA transmitter (2 or 3 wire, 24 VDC). Sensors can be mounted directly at the Beacon 110 housing, or can be wired remote from the controller.

Outputs | |
| Relays | 3 relays – 10 amp rating (at 115 VAC), SPDT isolated contacts. 2 relays for gas alarms and 1 trouble relay. Relays fully programmable for: increasing or decreasing alarm, latching or self reset, normally energized or normally de-energized, time delay for alarm on and alarm off |
| 4-20 mA | Signal output, 4-20 mA (maximum load impedance 500 ohms), per channel |
| 24 VDC | 24 VDC (400 mA max) output provided to operate sample drawing adapters or other accessories |
| Display | 2 x 8 Alphanumeric display with backlighting. |
| Audible | Built-in audible alarm, 94 dB, mounted on enclosure Coded output: pulsing = gas alarm, steady = fail |
| Visual | 3 LED’s on the front cover for alarm status indication, and malfunction |
The 10 amp rated relays are strong enough to directly power external alarms and horns. The digital display has backlighting and simultaneous readout of the gas type and concentration.
The Beacon 110 is also 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 the alarm to be silenced from outside of the controller housing. The Beacon 110 ships complete with a wall mounting kit for easy installation.
