			On top of its tracking function, active Beacon emits a bright flare, which remain visible from an indefinite distance as long as it is not obstructed by other objects or terrain. This can be useful in early game to easily find your way back to the station.

== 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.

! Parameter Name !! Data Type !! Description
|-
| Lock || Boolean || Locks the Beacon when set to 1. Unlocks it, when set to 0.
|-
| On || Boolean || Turns the Beacon on when set to 1. Turns it off, when set to 0.
|-
| Color || Integer || Sets the color of the Beacon. (See [[Data Network Colors]].)
