== Description ==
Not to be confused with the [[Tracking Beacon|battery beacon]] that you start with, this is a permanent beacon. It connects directly into your power grid.
Using the [[Labeller]], it is possible to rename the beacon. The new name will show up on your [[Handheld_Tablet|Tablet]] using the [[Cartridge#Tracker|Tracker Cartridge]].

Beacons need power to operate (300 W)

== Data Network Properties ==
These are all [[:Category:Data Network|Data Network]] properties of this device.

=== Data Parameters ===
These are all parameters, that can be written to with a [[Kit_(Logic_I/O)#Logic_Writer|Logic Writer]] or a [[Kit_(Logic_I/O)#Batch_Writer|Batch Writer]]. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Writer's "VAR" setting cycles through them.
