Overview
The BetaGauge II is a two-channel device. This means
that two variables can be measured and displayed
simultaneously. The display data for the channels 1 and
2 corresponds to the modules installed in the left and
right module bays respectively. Channel 1 appears in
the top half of the LCD display while Channel 2
appears in the bottom half.
The BetaGauge II uses pressure modules to measure
pressure and DC modules to measure electrical signals.
After you have properly installed and connected the
input modules to your field instrument, you can begin to
perform the following basic operations of the
BetaGauge II:

Select channel 1 or channel 2 for performing
specific configuration or modification functions,
such as damping or zeroing a module

Specify pre-programmed display units for
calibrating your field instrument

Zero the displayed values for both pressure and DC
modules

Set the damping factor for channels 1 and 2

View the serial number, the last calibration date for
the modules currently installed, and full scale range
for pressure modules

Program trip detection
Each of the above listed operations are described on the
following pages.
