The Beacon kit includes Beacon module, CMP with sensor sight glass, oil level sensor, and a beacon cable.

Beacon is an oil level alert system for use with the Luneta Condition Monitoring Pod (CMP) and Oil Level Sensor. 


Beacon alerts by brightly flashing red when the Oil Level Sensor detects a drop in oil level. The Oil Level Sensor is installed inside the CMP sight glass and is connected to the Beacon with a long cable. The Beacon and sensor are battery powered for convenient installation, and Beacon also features a high strength magnet for attaching to any ferromagnetic surfaces with good line of sight. The Beacon Kit includes everything needed to start monitoring oil levels right away.

1. Install the sensor into the CMP Sensor Sight Glass
  • Thread the sensor into the sensor port until the O-ring on the sensor is fully compressed.
  • The sensor port has a larger opening than the steel indicator port.
  • Be careful not to over tighten and damage the Sight Glass threads.
2. Install the CMP into the machine and return the oil to its original level. Follow the CMP instructions included with it.
  • Check for leaks and tighten the CMP or Sensor as needed. If leaks persist, use thread sealing paste. DO NOT use Teflon tape.
3. Open the Beacon Module.
  • Grab and squeeze the lens at the grip points.
  • Turn the red lens counterclockwise until the alignment indicator is over the unlocked icon.
  • Pull the lens and the enclosure apart.
4. Insert the included AA batteries into the battery holder inside the Beacon Module. Only use Energizer Ultimate LR91 batteries. 

5. Reattach the lens.
  • Align the alignment indicator with the unlocked icon.
  • Push the parts together to compress the O-ring.
  • Rotate until the indicator arrow is over the locked icon.
  • Ensure the O-ring between the lens and the enclosure stays in the O-ring groove and does not get kinked.
6.  Attach the included M12 cable between the Sensor and Beacon.
  • The cable has both a female and male connector. The male attaches to the Beacon Module and the female attaches to the Sensor.
  • Ensure the M12 threads on the connector are fully tightened. No tools are needed.
7. Power on the module by pushing the power button.
  • The lens will flash once to indicate it is powering up. The power up sequence takes about five seconds Note: To power down the module push the power button for two seconds. The lens will flash twice to indicate it is powering down.
8. Verify that the Beacon module and sensor are working correctly. 
  • If the Sensor is submerged in oil, the Beacon will not flash again after it powers up. 
  • If the Sensor is Not Submerged in oil, the Beacon will begin flashing. 
  • You can rotate the Sight Glass on the CMP to simulate both conditions for verification
  • If the Beacon and/or Sensor are not working properly, refer to the troubleshooting section.
9. Use the magnet on the Beacon Module to place it in a location with a good line of sight for daily inspections.
  • DO NOT attach the Beacon Module to a surface with excessive vibration, which could cause it to move or be damaged.
10. Secure the Beacon Cable so it does not get caught or snagged.
11. This completes installation.
  • Position Beacon so that it is easy to see at a glance.
  • When Beacon flashes, the oil level has dropped.
  • When Beacon flashes because of low battery, follow the installation instructions to remove lens and replace batteries. Use only Energizer L91 batteries.
  • Check Beacon daily to ensure an alert is not missed and that the batteries have power.
  • If Beacon inspections have been missed for more than 7 days, push power button to ensure the batteries still have a charge.
  • Beacon contains an extremely strong magnet. Exercise caution to avoid being pinched.
  • Do not submerge in water or place in location that could become submerged in water.
  • Do not install the Beacon Module or the sensor on a machine with excessive vibration that could cause movement or damage.
  • Do not use batteries other than Energizer L91.
  • Do not install the sensor on anything other than a Luneta CMP with an upgraded Sensor Sight Glass.
  • Do not install on a moving vehicle.
  • Do not use on moving machine surfaces or machines exposed to shock or fluid surge conditions.
  • Install the Beacon Module a safe distance away from moving machine parts, vehicles, and foot traffic.
  • Do not use on machines with oil temperatures outside the range of -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C).
  • Do not use on machines with ambient temperatures outside the range of -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C).
  • Do not use cleaning solvents incompatible with Polycarbonate, ABS/PC, PVC, and Viton.
  • The Luneta Beacon and Luneta Oil Level Sensor are to be used exclusively together and are not compatible with other sensors, modules, or control units.
