Overview
This section describes how to use the Beacon 800s Configuration menu.
With the Configuration menu, you can:
• enable/disable channels
• enter calibration mode to calibrate a detector head
• set channel parameters
• program the heavy duty relay relays (optional feature)
NOTE: Channels included with the original shipment of the Beacon 800 are set up at the
factory. If you are adding a channel to an existing Beacon 800, the channel must
be configured as described in this section before it can be an active monitoring
channel.
The Configuration menu consists of four sub menus as described in Table 6. If the heavy
duty relay board option is not installed, then the Configure Power Relays menu does not
appear.
NOTE: See “Chapter 7: Optional Recorder Output Board & Heavy Duty Relay Board” on
page 32 for a description of the Configure Power Relays menu.
