12. DC Wiring
A 6-way terminal block is provided on the DC beacon. There
are 2-off +ve, 2-off –ve, 1-off stage 2 & stage 3 terminals in
total.

Line Monitoring
On BExBGL2D DC units, dc reverse line monitoring can be
used if required. All DC sounders have a blocking diode fitted
in their supply input lines. An end of line monitoring diode or
an end of line monitoring resistor can be connected across the
+ve and –ve terminals. If an end of line resistor is used it must
have a minimum resistance value of 3k3Ω and a minimum
power rating of 0.5 watts or a minimum resistance value of
500Ω and a minimum power rating of 2 watts.
The resistor must be connected directly across the +ve and -
ve terminals as shown in the following drawing. The resistor
leads should be kept as short as possible.

13. Flash Rate Settings
The BExBGL2D beacons can produce different flash patterns
as shown in Table 1. The flash patterns are selected by
operation of the flash setting DIP switch on the PCB, Fig 9.
