When you connect the DC supply, the Be42 displays the version of software
(example 5.0.92) and then, the date of production in the form [WW.YY] (WW=
number of the week of the year and YY= last significant digits of the year).
Example 48.10: week 48 of year 2010. We recommend that you use a 1A Fuse
(FAST time-blowing) to protect against large spikes on VDC supply.
Section 16.0 Application Notes
16.10 - Automatic Periodic Test (hereinafter A.P.T)
The Be42 does not use an internal real time clock for the programmed days ([P.41] setting, table 7.05). The
user could experiment with shifting the periodic tests (about some minutes a month). To avoid error
accumulation, we recommend to follow the instructions
(D)
&
(E)
.
16.11 - Programming of the Automatic Periodic Test (example: 20 minutes every 7 days)
A) -
Enter the 'Program Mode' and set [P.41] to [ 7 ] days.
B) -
Set [P.42] to [ 20'] and save the programming
C) -
Select the AUTO mode
D) -
Disconnect the battery and wait for the desired start time (using an external clock reference).
E) -
Connect the battery and select the 'AUTO' mode.
The Be42 will start the engine after the programmed days. The engine will run OFF-LOAD for 20 minutes. If the
Mains fails during the A.P.T., the B42 will transfer the load to the generator.
IMPORTANT NOTICE If the Vdc voltage supply is removed, the Be42 loses count of the days. If the supply
restores, the Be42 starts to count the A.P.T. from zero. To synchronize the periodic start follow the above
instructions
(D)
&
(E)
.
16.20 - Interfacing an Autostart with Be42 A.T.S Controller
To use the Be42 as an A.T.S. controller, follow the wiring diagram of the section 17.0. If the engine running
output from the AUTOSTART is not available, program the [P.26] to [oFF]. We recommend that you program the
[P.31] to [15] (number of attempts) in order to provide proper time for AUTOSTART to start the engine.
16.30 - Single Phase operation
Program the parameter P.8 in [Ph-n] mode (see section 7.01B) and connect Mains to terminals #20 (VL1)
and #18 (VL2). You are required to adjust the parameters [P4] and [P5] according to your needs.
16.40 - Maintenance & Rental Timers
Once a timer expires, the Be42 indicates the [Er.10] on display. To clear the alarm(s), enter and exit the
programming mode (without modify parameters). The timers will restart the count of the programmed
maintenance period. You are allowed to modify the programmed Maintenance timer at anytime. Programmable
timers are described in section 7, table 7.05A-B (P44, P45 and P46).
