RKI Instruments, Beacon 410, Four Channel Wall Mount Controller

From RKI Instruments,

The Beacon 410, a powerful, low cost fixed system controller for up to four points of gas detection. Microprocessor controlled, versatile, simple to install and operate, and priced to be the industry's best value four point gas detection controller. Capable of accepting RKI sensors directly for LEL level combustibles, Oxygen, Hydrogen Sulfide, and Carbon Monoxide. The Beacon 410 also accepts any other 4-20 mA transmitter, (2 or 3 wire 24 VDC). Direct Connect Sensors can be mounted directly to the Beacon 410 housing, or can be wired remotely from the controller.

Each of the four channels has 3 fully configurable alarm points. A built-in silenceable audible alarm alerts you to alarm conditions. Each channel also has 2 dedicated fully configurable relays, there is a bank of common relays as well. The common relays can optionally be configured as additional channel relays allowing up to 3 alarm relays per channel.

Each channel provides a 4-20mA output signal. A digital Modbus interface for remote logging of data via a Modbus network is standard. A Min-Max feature retains high & low peak readings for review at any time.

Field calibration - made simple by the easy to use Calibration Mode.

A fully configurable high visibility strobe is available as an option.

The unit can be powered from 115/220 VAC, an external 24 VDC source, or a 24 VDC backup battery.

A trickle charging battery backup feature is also available as an option.

All features and functions of the Beacon 410 are controlled by easy to use menus on the backlit LCD display. Form-C (SPDT) relay contacts are rated at 10A, 250V, reducing or eliminating the need for additional external slave relays. All features of the Beacon 410 are built into the unit so you never need to purchase or maintain any “add-on” cards or components.
