I am the designer of the Betalert 10B, which I designed more than 20 years ago. This blog is a labor of love for me and I hope it serves as a combination user’s group, fan club, and historical record.
But I am realistic. I don’t expect that this blog will suddenly create a huge demand for Betalert 10B units. I don’t expect people will suddenly start using them. Heck, I’m not even sure any of them exist any more! But the Betalert 10B was my first real design, the first one I did completely on my own, and I feel a sense of paternity towards it. Just like a father might go looking for a child he hasn’t seen in 20 years, I am looking for Betalert 10B units.
Please feel free to email me of any information at all that you have concerning Betalert 10B units. You can tell me that you saw one operating at a coal-fired power plant in Minnesota. You can tell me that you saw one at a garage sale in Nebraska. You can tell me that you saw one being used as a wheel chock on a 747 in an aviation graveyard in the desert. I don’t care. I just want to hear stories about whatever became of my baby.
You can email me at: BL10B@yahoo.com
In the blog entries to come, I hope to give provide:
- A brief history of how the Betalert 10B came to be
- Whatever technical information I can get my hands on (schematics, firmware snippits, etc.)
- Sales literature
- Whatever else I can think of to say about them.
DISCLAIMER
(I hate disclaimers, but in this overly litigious age we live in, I feel I must protect myself. My apologies up front.)
I assume no legal, financial, or any other responsibility for anything concerning the Betalert 10B or any information about it that I present here. I designed it while in the employ of Beta Products and I retained no rights or obligations to the design or the units themselves. This is simply a labor of love for me.
