BE126 NFPA 20 FIRE PUMP CONTROLLER

Bernini Design is specialized in manufacturing NFPA 20 compliant controllers. The BE126 is a combined NFPA 20 fire pump controller and automatic and manual diesel engine fire fighting system controller.

BE126 NFPA 20 FIRE PUMP CONTROLLER


The BE126 is a multiprocessor automatic and manual diesel engine fire-fighting system controller. Firstly, it meets or exceeds NFPA 20 standard requirements. Secondly, the fire pump alarms and signalling means are included in Be126. Finally, this ensures maximum performance of your control panel. In conclusion, the Be126 fire fighting system controller is suitable for use in locations subject to a high degree of moisture, such as a damp basement or others.


Looking for the Be26 Diesel Fire Pump Controller?

This controller was introduced in 1990 as the first processor-based NFPA20-compliant firefighting controller. It is no longer manufactured, but we can manufacture a replacement upon request. Visit the following page.

Be126 versus Be26

The key switch is no longer mandatory according to the latest NFPA20 regulation. The Be126 features a mode of operation selection via push buttons and static outputs instead of relay outputs. Inputs for analogue measurements have been added together with the engine battery's direct monitoring via MODBUS, Finally, many features like CANBUS and DATA LOGGER have been introduced.

THE BE126 CONTROLLER MODES OF OPERATIONS


[MANUAL MODE]

Push the [MAN] until the external lamp 'NOT IN AUTO' turns on. To test the integrity of the batteries, program the option 'FUEL DISABLED'. Push and hold the [START 1] button for at least 30 seconds and watch the stability of the battery voltage.  The display will provide full information when the Be126 detects a faulty battery. The "START 1" or "START 2" buttons are used to manually start the engine. The green LED will turn on when the engine is running. You can browse the engine instruments by using the navigation pushbuttons.


[AUTO MODE]

Push the [AUTO] mode push button and then push the [PUMP TEST] button to test the entire system. The Be126 will automatically open the drain valve. The LOW-PRESSURE SWITCH will trigger the start of the engine and will turn on the YELLOW LOW-PRESSURE LED INDICATOR. Follow the menu-driven instructions on the display in a way that carries out the full test according to NFPA 20 (or UNI EN 12845) requirements. After completing the test the BE126 will enter the AUTO mode of operation automatically. In case of a problem, the display will provide you with all information


NFPA 20 FIRE PUMP CONTROLLER SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Be126 Fire Pump Controllers from Bernini Design are designed to control and monitor 12 or 24-volt, diesel fire pump engines used in NFPA 20 or UNI-EN 12845 compliant fire fighting applications. Firstly, the Be126 is among the most technically advanced diesel engine controllers. Secondly, the Be126 features a state-of-the-art multiprocessor structure providing an embedded water pressure data logger capable of storing up to 31 days of data recording.

Be126 fire pump controller wiring diagramThirdly, the Be126 interfaces with standard diesel or SAE J1939 compatible engines. Additionally, the Be126 fire pump controller monitors, displays, and records fire pump system information. The Be126 diesel engine fire pump controller is designed to start the diesel engine automatically from water pressure control or non-automatically from manual electric control. Furthermore, this type of diesel engine fire pump controller maintains the full charge on engine starting batteries, monitors engine and system conditions, and initiates a weekly program test of the system. Be126 monitors analogue or digital water pressure or water level transducers. Be126 can provide mathematical calculations over the pressure, providing MIN, MAX, and AVG values. By enabling the Engine Protection Mode software you can use the Be126 controller on a standard diesel engine pump water station. In conclusion, the Be126 controller features RS232 and RS485 serial interfaces that provide ASCII and MODBUS protocols.

The Reliability of operation for this fire fighting system controller is not adversely affected by dust accumulations, variation of temperature, humidity, fungus, or adverse elements. The BE126 is extremely strong and insensitive to vibrations. The basic structure is made of steel and carbon fibre. A NEMA Type 2 drip-proof is provided with IP54 ingress protection.


TO COMPLY WITH NFPA20 THE CONTROLLER MUST DISPLAY THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT OF EACH BATTERY. BY USING THE MCBXX BATTERY CHARGER, THE BE126 READS THE CHARGING CURRENT VIA RS485-MODBUS.
