1 WARNINGS
Read Before Operating
This manual must be carefully read by all individuals who have or will
have the responsibility of using, maintaining, or servicing this product.
The product will perform as designed only if it is used, maintained, and
serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Warning:
Use only the Lithium battery provided by RAE Systems. This instrument
has not been tested in an explosive gas/air atmosphere having an oxygen
concentration greater than 21%. Substitution of components may impair
suitability for intrinsic safety. Replace batteries only in non-hazardous
locations.
STATIC HAZARD: Clean only with a damp cloth.
For safety reasons this equipment must be operated and serviced by
qualified personnel only. Read and understand instruction manual
completely before operating or servicing. Any rapid up-scale reading
followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas
concentration beyond upper scale limit, which may be hazardous.

3 General Information
The MBeacon is a component within the ConneXt PRO wireless gas-
monitoring system that regularly transmits its SSID, which is used by the
system to provide location information on wireless gas monitors.
The ConneXt PRO system is a permanently installed solution that allows
for remote monitoring, two-way communication (on select equipment),
and quick visual compliance verification.
The ConneXtPRO consists of wireless gas monitors (and their associated
docking stations), beacon devices, and a real-time software monitoring
application. By providing remote, real-time gas concentration status and
location information to key stakeholders, ConneXt PRO supports a safer,
more efficient plant.
