Section 1.0 Introduction

 The Be142 integrates a 3-Phase Automatic Mains (or Utility Power if you will) Failure controller and a Generating Set controller. The Be142 provides visual indication by means of LEDS and Displays for Engine & Electrical parameters, Alarms and Status of the contactors. It provides an RS-485 (MODBUS-RTU) interface for remote control & monitoring. You can read the current of the load by connecting the CTS on the load side.  Figure 1 presents the panel layout.

Section 2.0: Selection of the Mode of Operation

 When you apply the DC supply, the display indicates for a second, the version of the software (example 1.0.01) and the date of production (example 22.12, that means week 22 of the year 2012). The modes of operation are selected by pushbuttons and indicated by means of green LEDS (indicators) as shown below:

 

 

Note: default programming for input #36  is ‘normally closed ‘. To inhibit the alarm  [Er.08]  You are required to connect terminal #36  to ground (Emergency input). Every time the power supply is switched on, if the BE142 was in TEST or AUTO prior to power down, the BE142 returns to the “AUTO”  mode. In the other cases, the Be142 will enter the OFF mode. The following table indicates the modes of operation.

Push the [MAN] pushbutton to select the MANUAL mode. Push the [START] pushbutton until the engine starts; the display indicates the message [. . . .] during the starting attempts (and [! ! ! !] during the preheat).

When the engine is running, the green LED turns on. To stop the engine, push the [STOP] pushbutton until the [StOP] message appears on the display. If the engine has already stopped, it is possible to reset the STOP sequence by pressing the [STOP] pushbutton.

THE BE142 TEST MODE OF OPERATION

The TEST mode is the best way to check the automatic functionality of the engine. It will not affect the transfer of the LOAD. You can optimise all parameters involved in the automatic mode, like the number of attempts, the starter timer, rest time, and stop time. The installation manual describes all the details about it.
