Introduction
The Be42 integrates a 3-Phase Automatic Mains Failure (A.M.F.) module, an Automatic Transfer Switch controller (A.T.S.) and a Generating Set controller. The Be42 provides visual indication by means of LEDs and Display for Fuel Level, Engine & Electrical parameters, Alarms and status of the contactors. The Be42 features more than 180 programmable parameters and complies with NFP110 CAN/CSA-C282-M89 regulations. It features 7 Operating modes and provides a RS485 interface for remote control & monitoring. Figure 1 presents the panel layout.
AUTO operating mode
Push the [AUTO] pushbutton until the green LED will illuminate. The engine starts when the Be42 detects a Mains failure (see table 7.01A). The contactor of the MAINS (KM) opens after the BREAKER timing. After the warm-up time If the Voltage and Frequency are within the settings, the contactor of the GENERATOR (KG) will close. If the Mains restores, the KG will open. The KM will close after a programmable changeover timing. The Engine will stop after a cooling down time (see tables 7.02 and 7.03). If the engine shuts down, the KM closes independently of the Mains status if the [P.48] is [ON] (NFPA-110 mode), otherwise the KM will close only if the Mains is within the programmed settings. In AUTO operating mode, the Be42 will periodically test the engine if the parameters [P.41] and [P.42] have been programmed. During this test, the green LED of the AUTO operating mode will continue to blink. In AUTO operating mode, the Be42 can start and stop the engine according to programmable inputs (see Table 7.06 and 7.07).
TEST operating mode
Push the [TEST] pushbutton until the green LED will illuminate.The Be42 starts the engine and transfers the load to the GEN-SET if the [P.17] is [on]. To stop the engine, select the AUTO operating mode (if the Mains is present) or select the OFF operating mode. If you push the [STOP] pushbutton when the Be42 is in AUTO or TEST, the [Er.09] will energize. To clear the alarm, select the OFF operating mode (section 8.0).
Section 5.0 LED indicators
5.1 Lamp and Display Test
To test the LEDs and DISPLAY push the [OFF] pushbutton; the display turns off. Push and hold the [←F8] and [F9→] pushbuttons simultaneously. The LEDs and DISPLAYs remain energised as long as the pushbuttons are pressed and held together.
Section 6.0 Programming and Reading Parameters
The 4-digits display indicates the code of a parameter ([P.0] for example) and its setting ([5"] for example) as explained in section 6.30. Section 7.0 lists all parameters. To enter the Programming Mode, use the following instructions. To use a password see setions 6.40, 6.50 and 6.60.
