Chapter 5: Global Menu
Overview
This chapter describes how to view and change Beacon 410 instrument parameters using
the Global Menu. The global parameters are the optional strobe’s installation setting, the
relay normal state setting, the usage setting for relays A, B, C, and D, and the buzzer
silence setting. The Global Menu is accessed using the ESCAPE and UP/YES control
buttons.
The Global Menu includes a 5-minute timeout feature. If you do not press a control button
for 5 minutes, the Beacon 410 automatically returns to normal operation.
NOTE:
If the Beacon 410 returns to normal operation because of a timeout, it enters a
warm-up period just as it does when it is first turned on.
If you are installing a new Beacon 410, it has been set up at the factory. Use the
Global Menu only if you want to change the instrument parameter factory
settings.
Viewing and Changing Global Parameters
WARNING:
The Beacon 410 is not an active gas monitoring device while in the Global Menu.
When you enter the Global Menu, the 4-20 mA output signal will “freeze” at 3.5
mA for each active channel, all relays and alarm LEDs will remain in their
current state at the time that you entered the Global Menu, and the alarm buzzer
and strobe will turn off if they were activated until you exit the Global Menu. The
4 - 20 mA output signal will not indicate current readings and the relays and
alarm LEDs will not resume operating normally until the Beacon 410 is in
normal operation again.
NOTE:
You must set the instrument parameters to the desired settings using the Global
Menu before making any changes to the channel parameters in the Configuration
Menu. Settings in the Global Menu influence what channel parameters appear in
the Configuration Menu.
1.
While in Normal Operation, press and hold the ESCAPE and UP/YES buttons for
approximately 5 seconds to enter the Global Menu. Release the buttons when the
You
Have Entered the GLOBAL Menu
message appears.
2.
Press and release the UP/YES button to continue in the Global Menu to the first global
parameter setting screen, the Strobe Installation Screen.
