Chapter 5: Channel Control and Setup Program
Overview
The Channel Control & Setup Program allows viewing of and changes to
instrument setup parameters. It is accessed using the program buttons.
The Channel Control & Setup Program includes three menus as described
in Table 7.
To enter the Channel Control & Setup Program, simultaneously press and
hold the ESCAPE and ENTER buttons for approximately 5 seconds.
The Channel Control & Setup Program menu includes a 5-minute time-out
feature. If you do not press a button for 5 minutes, the 12 VDC Beacon 200
automatically returns to normal operation.
NOTE: If the 12 VDC Beacon 200 returns to normal operation because of
a program time-out, the active channels enter a warm-up period
just as they do when the unit is first turned on.
If you are installing a new system, the channels have been setup
at the factory for the ordered detector heads. Use the Channel
Control & Setup Program only if you want to disable or enable a
channel, delete a channel, or change channel settings. If a
channel is being added or a channel is being changed from one
type to another, contact RKI Instruments, Inc. for additional
documentation required to define the channel type.
