Beacon 110 Rig Monitor Operator’s Manual
Chapter 4: Operation
Overview
This chapter describes the Beacon 110 Rig Monitor in normal operation. This chapter also
describes the Rig Monitor in alarm 1, alarm 2, and fail conditions and suggests response to these
conditions.
Normal Operation
Normal operation is defined as follows:
•
The start-up procedure is complete.
•
The Rig Monitor is not indicating an alarm 1, alarm 2, or fail condition.
•
The Rig Monitor is not in Calibration or Configuration Mode.
During normal operation, the Rig Monitor simultaneously displays the current gas reading, unit of
measure, and target gas.
Information Screen
The Information Screen displays the Rig Monitor’s operating voltage and firmware and hardware
information. To display the Information Screen, do the following:
1. Press and hold the DOWN/NO button for 3 seconds. The Information Screen will appear.
2. Continue holding the DOWN/NO button to keep the Information Screen on the display. The
top line indicates the operating voltage that the power converter is providing to the Rig
Monitor. The second line indicates the firmware that is running, version 5.0 in this example,
and the Rig Monitor’s hardware version, version 2A in this example. This information may be
useful if you need to contact the factory with questions about the Rig Monitor.
3. Release the DOWN/NO button when you are done viewing the Information Screen. The
display will return to the normal operation screen within a couple of seconds.
NOTE:
The Information Screen is not a good indicator of battery life because the power
converter will operate as normal and have an output of 24 volts until the 12 VDC
battery dies.
