1.0 First Time Operation and Safety recommendation

These instructions are reserved to qualified personnel only, and provide an initial check to verify the
BE2K operation. After these initial steps, the unit is ready for use.
DANGER : THE BE2K DOES NOT GENERATE A WARNING OR AUDIBLE SIGNAL PRIOR TO
INITIATING THE STARTING PROCEEDINGS. DO NOT WORK ON EQUIPMENT WHICH IS
CONTROLLED BY THE BE2K UNIT.WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU PLACE WARNING SIGNS ON
THE MAIN PARTS OF THE GENERATING-SET.
1.1 Initial Settings

WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO BE
CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY
A. Before connecting the supply, check the voltage on the JI plug:

#JI-1 to the Battery plus and #JI-2 to the Battery minus. The recommended voltage to operate
the BE2K is 7 Vdc up to 36 Vdc. The battery minus must be grounded only on the engine's
side. Different potentials in ground path may damage the BE2K. A ground connection is
mandatory for the panel frame and switchboard. The BE2K features a ¼” blade terminal for
ground connection. Do not use the supply minus wire as ground carrying cable.
B. Connect the supply plug to the BE2K: the internal check will take place automatically.
Finally, the green LED ‘KM’ will be turned on to indicate that the Load has been transferred to
the Mains. The list of the power-on messages follows:
[MEM ERR.] ............... This message is displayed if an internal memory failure occurs. In this case,
the BE2K must be returned for repair. To skip the alarm, push the 'ACK’
pushbutton. If this is the case, the integrity of the parameters can no longer be
guaranteed (see sections 7.7 and 13.0).
[V X.XXX] ................. Code number of the software version; this message is displayed momentarily
after the power-on cycle.
[CLK ERR] ................. CLOCK ERROR: push the [ACK] pushbutton and follow the instructions in
section 7.4.4.
C. Before using the BE2K, check that programmed parameters (see sections 7.2 and 7.6) meet
the characteristics of the Generating-Set.
1.2 Testing the Wiring Connections

)WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO BE
CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
A. Before connecting the input wires, check the polarity of the switches (n.o. / n.c.) according to
the programmed setting (see section 7.6 - 7.6.6). The opposite sides of the switches must be
connected to the battery minus.
B. Before connecting the output terminals, test each output Load with a suitable instrument: the
Load must be compatible with the Output characteristics (see section 10.6-10.7).
C. Check, with an Ohmmeter, that the senders resistance matches the programmed relationship.
Connect the ground sense terminal (#JM9) near the sender placement. For distances of less
than 2 meters, it is possible to connect #JM-5 and #JM-9 together.
D. Connect the 'Alternator Control' terminal #JM1-2 to the Charging Alternator.
E. Connect the Current Transformers (CTs) to the terminals #JL-1-2-3-4-5-6. The S1 terminal of
each CT must be grounded on the CTs side.
F. Connect the Mains and Generator wires. External fuses are highly recommended.
G. Verify the polarity on the Vdc supply plug (JI).
1.3 Front Panel Description

The front panel (section 16.0) features:
- One Alphanumeric green Display made of 8 digits (section 7.0)
- Three Displays made of 4 digits (section 6.0)

2.0 'Manual' Operating Instructions

Let us assume the BE2K is ready for use and fitted with electrical connections as described in
sections 1.1 and 1.2.
Push [ENABLE] and [AUTO/MAN] simultaneously until the green LED ‘MAN’ illuminates
(NOTE: if an external Key Switch is used as described in section 20B, the BE2K will enter directly into 'MAN'
operating mode). The ‘KM’ green LED will be turned on to indicate ‘Load transferred to the Mains’.
Now, the user can either :
- turn the BE2K into 'OFF’ operating mode by pushing the [OFF] pushbutton as described in
section 2.04 or.
- turn the BE2K into 'AUTO' operating mode using the [ENABLE] and [AUTO/MAN] pushbuttons
as described in section 3.02 or
- START and STOP the set by using [START][STOP] pushbuttons as described in sections 2.01
and 2.02 or
- select a menu for the Alphanumeric Display by using the [^] and [v] pushbuttons as described
in section 7.0.
2.01 Manual Start

A) - Cancel all alarms by using [ACK] and [OFF] pushbuttons.
B) - If a ‘STOP cycle’ is energised, wait for the end of the ‘STOP SOLENOID’ timing, or, if the engine
has already stopped, push the [STOP] pushbutton to cancel the timing.
C) - Press the [ENABLE] and [START] pushbuttons simultaneously until the engine starts. The green
'ENGINE RUNNING' LED will illuminate. If the ‘PREGLOW’ is used in the BE2K settings, the
message [PREGLOW] will appear before the start attempt.
During the cranking of the engine, the LEDs and Displays are turned off. The BE2K monitors the
'Under Frequency', ‘Under Speed’, and ‘Under Voltage’ protections only if the Contactor of the
Generator is closed (see section 2.03).
2.02 Manual Stop

Press the [STOP] pushbutton until the message [STOPPING] appears. If the engine is not running, it
is possible to disable the ‘STOP SOLENOID’ cycle by pushing the [STOP] pushbutton. At the end of
the 'STOP' cycle, push the [OFF] pushbutton to enter the OFF operating mode.
2.03 Manual Load Control

In Manual operating mode, the load is automatically transferred to the Mains independently of the
status of the Mains (the green ‘KM’ LED energises). In order to transfer the load to the Generating-
Set, press the [ I ] pushbutton simultaneously with the [ENABLE] pushbutton. The ‘KM’ contactor
opens, and then, after a 2 second delay, if all parameters of the Generator are met, the ‘KG’ will
energise. The contactor can be opened at any time by pushing the [0] pushbutton. The load will be
transferred back to the Mains.
2.04 OFF Operating mode

To enter the ‘OFF’ operating mode, push the [OFF] pushbutton for a few seconds. The BE2K will
enter low power consumption mode. The Load will be transferred to the Mains, and the engine will be
stopped. Only the green ‘KM’ LED will be illuminated.
3.0 'Auto' Operating Instruction

Let us assume the BE2K is ready for use and fitted with all electrical connections as described in
sections 1.1 and 1.2.
If the BE2K is already in ‘MANUAL’ operating mode, follow the instructions of section 3.02. Otherwise,
proceed to section 3.01.
3.01 ‘Manual’ operating mode Set Up

a)- push the [ENABLE] and [AUTO/MAN] pushbuttons simultaneously until the green LED ‘MAN’
illuminates. The green LED ‘KM’ will be turned on to indicate that the Load has been transferred to the
Mains. The message [MANUAL] will also appear on the ‘Data/h’ menu
3.02 ‘Auto’ operating mode Set Up

b)- push the [ENABLE] and [AUTO/MAN] pushbuttons simultaneously until the green LED 'AUTO’
illuminates.
(NOTE: if an external Key Switch is used as described in section 20B, the BE2K enters directly into 'AUTO'
operating mode)
If the Mains fails, the BE2K starts the engine after a programmable delay, and transfers the load to
the Generating-Set after the warm-up time. To open the contactor of the generator, select the 'MAN'
operating mode and push the [0] pushbutton. If the button is pushed in 'AUTO' operating mode the
engine stops and the alarm 'EMERGENCY' energises (section 8.1.8). If the Mains restores, the load
connects back to the Mains. After a programmable delay, the engine will stop. Further details are
explained in section 3.07.
3.03 Remote Controls and Automatic Periodic Test (A.P.T.)

The GEN-SET TEST and ENGINE TEST functions are enabled in AUTO operating mode. The
‘ENGINE TEST’ starts the engine and does not transfer the load to the Generator.
The ‘GEN-SET TEST’ starts the engine and transfers the load to the Generator.
A Cooling down time is executed before stopping the engine. The ‘GEN-SET TEST’ function overrides
the ‘ ENGINE TEST’ function. Further details are explained in section 3.07. The BE2K can perform an
automatic periodic test (A.P.T) with real time clock control. The section 7.6.3A describes the details.
The A.P.T. works only in AUTO operating mode. The Automatic Periodic Test can be cancelled by
alarm events. After an A.P.T., the BE2K updates the display in order to inform the user about the next
A.P.T. cycle (see section 7.2 parameters [STATUS], [SCH.DATE] and [SCH.TIME])
3.04 Mains Simulation

To simulate the Mains presence, the ‘#JC10 MAINS SIMULATION’ is provided. The input simulates
the Mains as follows: if the ‘#JC10’ terminal is opened, the engine starts (if the Mains is absent) and, if
grounded, it stops (Mains presence is simulated). The status of the ‘Mains simulation input’ is
displayed in the ‘Mains’ menu with the messages [EXT.ON] and [EXT.OFF]. The Generating-Set will
operate with the same timings as AUTOMATIC MAINS FAILURE. The BE2K features n.c. or n.o.
programming (section 7.6.6). A truth table shows the possibilities (let us assume n.o. contact):
Display Message MAINS STATUS #JC10 INPUT BE2K-MODE

[EXT. ON] Normal Closed to ground Stand by mode
[EXT. OFF] Normal Open Stand by mode
[EXT. ON] Failure Closed to ground Stand by mode
[EXT. OFF] Failure Open Starting mode
3.05 Alarms monitoring
In the 'AUTO' operating mode, some alarms stop the engine immediately, and some after a
Cooling down time. These details are explained in section 8.1.
If, during the Cooling Down time, the user operates the BE2K in ‘MANUAL’ operating mode, the
engine will continue to run. The BE2K monitors the Under Frequency, Under Voltage and Under
Speed, only if the Contactor of the Generator is closed. We recommend that you use a Contactor to
transfer the Load to the Generator.
3.06 ‘Auto’ operating mode: Stop
The engine stops automatically if the Mains restores or if the remote control returns to stand by. The
user can stop the engine in 'MANUAL' operating mode by pushing the [STOP] pushbutton. The user
may press the [STOP] or [0] pushbutton in automatic operating mode, but, in this case, the red
'EMERGENCY' LED alarm will energise and the Load will be transferred to the Mains. The [OFF]
pushbutton stops the engine and turns the BE2K to ‘OFF’ operating mode.
3.07 ‘Auto’ operating mode: Timings and Parameters
The Automatic Sequences include the [FAILURE], [BREAKER], [RESTORE], [WARM UP] and
[COOLING] parameters. The details are explained in the sections 7.2 and 7.6. In case of Mains
failure, the Mains Contactor opens after the [BREAKER] time-out. The [FAILURE] timing takes place if
the Mains Failure persists. After this time-out, the BE2K starts the engine. The [WARM UP] allows the
engine to warm up.
After the [WARM UP], if all electrical parameters are met, the Contactor of the generator will close. If
the Mains restores, the [RESTORE] timer starts to count, and the load will be transferred to the
Mains. The engine will stop after the [COOLING] time.
The Engine Starting Parameters are controlled by the [CR.DELAY], [IDLE], [PREGLOW], [CRANK],
[REST], [ATTEMPTS] and [CRANKOFF] parameters. The [PREGLOW] energises the Pre-GLOW
Output before the starting attempts. Between the starting attempts ([REST]) the PreGlow Output will
remain energised. If the PreGlow function is used, make sure to program the [REST] time properly
(see [PREGLOW] in section 7.6.2).
3.08 Crank Termination
The BE2K monitors many sources to detect the Crank Termination. The green 'ENGINE RUNNING'
LED will light if one of the sources is recognized to be valid. Further details are explained in section
4.0.
3.09 ‘Auto’ and ‘Manual’ selection
a)- press the ‘AUTO-MAN’ and ‘ENABLE CONTROL’ pushbuttons simultaneously: the ‘AUTO’ and
‘MANUAL’ operating modes will alternatively toggle the green A.M.F. LED status.
b)- the automatic operating mode is indicated by the green ‘A.M.F’ LED.
NOTE : the BE2K stores the AUTO operating mode in the memory. If the Vdc supply fails and then
restores, the BE2K enters the AUTO operating mode automatically.
4.0 Engine Running Status
The BE2K monitors the conditions to terminate the Crank as follows:

- one of the 3-Phase L1-N, L2-N, L3-N rises above 90Vac
- the Charger Alternator voltage (#JM1-2) rises above [D+/WL] V (see section 7.6.2)
- the Generator Frequency rises above 20Hz
- the Engine Speed rises above the [CRANKOFF] [--- RPM] setting (section 7.6.2)
The presence of one of the above conditions will illuminate the green ‘ENGINE RUNNING’ LED and
the ‘Engine Running’ Static Output (#JB1) will energise.
5.0 Phase Sequence Monitoring (PSM)

The BE2K compares the Phase Sequence of the Mains and Generator to a clockwise internal
reference. If the Mains Phase Sequence is counter clockwise, the ‘Power’ menu shows the message
[M-PH ERR]. This is a Mains Failure condition and, according to the programmed timers, the engine
will start. If the Phase Sequence of the Mains returns to clockwise ,and the Voltage /Frequency is
within the settings, the BE2K will transfer the load to the MAINS. If the Phase Sequence of the
Generator is counter clockwise, the engine will shut down and the ‘Warning’ menu will display the
message [G-PHASES]. The BE2K will no longer monitor the PSM if the code [SINGLE] or [3-PH N/R]
is programmed (see section 7.6.7).
6.0 Display Features and Lamp test
The BE2K has 4 displays: one Alphanumeric Display made of 8 green characters and three 7-
segment red LED Displays made of 4 digits each. During the starting attempts, all displays are turned
off to save energy for the microprocessor. After 2 minutes without operating the [<][>][v][^]
pushbuttons, the Alphanumeric Display will reduce the luminosity. The display moves into normal
operating mode by pressing one of the [<][>][v][^] pushbuttons.
The Alphanumeric Display can show five menus: ‘Warning’-’Program’-’Power’-’Data/h’ and
‘Engine’ (see section 7.0). The three 4-Digit Displays indicate electrical measurements of the
Generator according to the selection done by the [MODE-SAVE] pushbutton. The yellow ‘Mode’
LEDs indicate 4 display-operating modes (section 7.6.7).
The 'LAMP-TEST' (Test LED) is obtained by pushing [^] and [v] simultaneously.
7.0 Alphanumeric Display and menu facilities

The display has five menus: ‘Warning’-’Program’-’Mains’-’Data/h’ and ‘Engine’. The selection is done
using the [^], [v], [<], [>] and [ACK] pushbuttons:
[^][v] (Up/Down Cursors) select the menu

[<][>] (Left/Right Cursor) browse the menu
[ACK] (Acknowledge) updates the value of the parameter
NOTE: (see sections 7.6, 7.6.8 and 7.7 to find out more).
7.1 ‘Warning’ menu

7.6 BE2K Programming Guide

The BE2K features Local and Remote programming. The Remote programming is done via a
computer connected to RS232C port. The parameters are divided into menus: [ MAINS >],
[ENGINE >], [GENSET >], [ TEST >], [ FUEL >], [SENSORS>], [ I/O >], [SETTING>] and
[CALIBR>].
In order to program, follow the instructions below:
( A ) - Push the ‘OFF’ pushbutton until the BE2K shuts down. Connect the ‘#JB10 Programming
Enable’ to the battery minus. Make sure the Power supply is over 12,0Vdc
( B ) - Push the [ACK] and [>] pushbuttons simultaneously until the message [SET-UP] appears.
( C ) - Release the buttons; the display will indicate the [MAINS>] menu.
( D ) - Push the [v] pushbutton to select a menu and [<] or [>] pushbutton to select a parameter.
( E ) - To change the setting of a parameter push [ACK] and [v] (or [^]) pushbuttons simultaneously.
( F ) - Push the [MODE-SAVE] pushbutton to save. The [SAVE?] message will appear for a second
and then, the [YES NO] message will ask you whether or not you would like to save. The message
‘YES’ is above the [<] pushbutton and the message ‘NO’ is above the [>] pushbutton.
( G ) - Push the [<] or [>] pushbutton, as desired, to complete the task.
( H ) - The messages [SAVE....] and [OK] confirm the memorization. If the [>] pushbutton is
pressed, the [No SAVED] message appears for a second, and the BE2k will turn off automatically.
( I ) - If the message [ERROR] appears, repeat the ‘F) -’ procedure (see NOTE4).
( J ) - Disconnect the supply for a few seconds, and then reconnect the supply.
( K ) - We recommend that you check all modifications by using the VIEW mode (see section 7.2),
and record all modifications on paper.
NOTE 4 If the [ERROR] or [FAULT06] message persists, even for 2 or 3 times, the BE2K has an
internal memory failure. It is possible to use the BE2K, but the [FAULT 01] message will persist in the
‘Warning’ menu to remind you about the memory failure. Try to recover the memory manually as
indicated in section 8.1.21.
7.6.1 [ MAINS >] Parameters List. The name of the parameter is indicated on the left side of
the page, followed by its own default. The right side describes the parameter and the
available options.
[FAILURE ] [5 sec].............. GEN-SET start delay: 0-59 secs, 1-30 mins. The BE2K will start the
engine if the Mains Failure (Voltage, Frequency or Phase Sequence)
persists for the [FAILURE] time. This timer energises after the
[BREAKER] timing (see later in this section).
[RESTORE ] [5 sec]............ GEN-SET ON-LOAD delay: 0-59 secs, 1-30 mins. The BE2K transfers
the Load to the Mains once the MAINS is stable ([RESTORE] timing).
During this time, the GEN-SET runs ON-LOAD. After the [RESTORE]
timing, the BE2K transfers the load to the Mains and starts the
[COOLING] timer to run the engine OFF-LOAD.
[BREAKER] [5 sec] ........... MAINS Contactor Delay: 0-59 secs or 1-30 mins. If the Mains Failure
persists for more than [BREAKER] time, the Mains contactor will open
and the [FAILURE] timer will start to count. The Mains contactor will
close only after the [RESTORE] timing.
[M OVERV] [500 V] ........... MAINS Over Voltage: 60-998Vac or [INHIBIT]. If the Phase-to-Phase
voltage rises above [M OVERV], the [BREAKER] timer energises. The
[INHIBIT] setting (> 998V) disables the Mains Over Voltage control.
[M UNDERV] [320 V] ......... MAINS Under Voltage: [INHIBIT] or 60-998Vac. If the Phase-to-Phase
Mains voltage drops below this setting, the [BREAKER] timer energises
(see above). The [INHIBIT] setting (<60Vac) disables the Mains Under
Voltage control.
[M OVERHz] [55 Hz] .......... MAINS Over Frequency: 20-70Hz or [INHIBIT]. The Over-Frequency
energises the [BREAKER] timer. The [INHIBIT] setting (>70Hz) disables
the Mains Over Frequency control.
[M UND/Hz] [48 Hz] ........... MAINS Under Frequency: [INHIBIT] or 20-70Hz. The Under-Frequency
energises the [BREAKER] timer. The [INHIBIT] setting (<20Hz) disables
the Mains Under Frequency control.
7.6.2 [ENGINE>] Parameters List. The name of the parameter is indicated on the left side of the
page followed by its own default. The right side describes the parameter with the available options.
[PREGLOW] [0 sec] ........... PreGlow Timing: 0-59secs. This timer energises the #JC1 output
before cranking the engine. NOTE: the PreGlow output will also be
activated during the [REST] timing . After the PREGLOW timing, the
engine starting attempts will begin. The option to cut the PREGLOW
timing as soon as the engine is running is also available (see
[PREGLOW1] in the section 7.6.6).
[ATTEMPTS] [ 3]................. Number of Attempts: 3-15 attempts (output. #JC6 ). The BE2K will
energise the 'Fail to Start' alarm if the engine does not start after the
programmed number of attempts.
[CR. DELAY] [0 sec]........... Crank delay Time: 0-15 secs. This delay allows external electronic
equipment (governor or electronic controller) to set up. The Fuel
Solenoid output energises first. The engine will crank after [CR. DELAY]
seconds.
[CRANK] [5 sec] ................. Cranking Time: 3-15 secs. Maximum insertion time of the starter motor.
The timer is cleared if the engine starts to run.
[REST] [5 sec]..................... Rest Time: 3-15 secs. Timing between the crank attempts. If a
[PREGLOW] is programmed, the #JC1 output will energise during the
Rest Time.
[WARM UP] [5 sec] ............ Engine Warm-Up time: 0-59 secs or 1-15 mins. The Contactor of the
Generator will close after the [WARM UP] timing.
[COOLING] [15 sec] .......... Cooling Down Time: 0-59 secs or 1-15 mins. This timer allows the
Alternator to cool (the Contactor opens and the engine runs Off-Load).
[STOP] [20 sec] ................. Stop Cycle: 1-59 secs or 1-15 minutes. This timer controls the output
#JC4. The display indicates the [STOPPING] message.
[EJP TIME] [0 sec] ............. EJP Control: 0-59 secs or 1-50 minutes. This timer delays the action of
the contactor, if the engine has been started using the EJP.
[ BYPASS] [5 sec] ............. Engine Alarms Bypass: 2-90 secs. This timer disables the OIL
pressure, Alarm1,Temperature1 and 2 alarms during the start sequence.
[OV/SPEED] [INHIBIT] ...... Over Speed setting: 100-4000 rpm or [INHIBIT]. The engine shuts
down if the speed rises above the limit for [T OV/SPD] seconds. The
[INHIBIT] code (>4000 r.p.m.) disables the Over Speed control.
[T OV/SPD] [1 sec] ............. Over Speed bypass delay: 1-10 secs. It bypasses the Over Speed
[OV/SPEED] shut down.
[UNDSPEED] [INHIBIT] .... Under Speed setting: [INHIBIT] or 100-4000 r.p.m.. The protection is
bypassed for [T UN/SPD] seconds (section 8.1.15). It is enabled only if
the Contactor of the Generator is closed. The [INHIBIT] code (setting
<100 r.p.m.) disables the Under Speed control.
[T UN/SPD] [6 sec] ............. Under Speed bypass delay: 1-10 secs. It bypasses the Under Speed
shut down.
[CRANKOFF] [300 RPM] .... Crank Termination setting: 100-800 r.p.m.. At this speed, the BE2K
disables the cranking mechanism.
[TEETH N.] [INHIBIT] ........ Number of Teeth of the Flywheel: [INHIBIT] or 1-500 teeth. The
[INHIBIT] code (setting <1 ) inhibits the reading of the Speed and
disables the control of the Speed (section 7.5).
[WARN OIL] [INHIBIT] ....... Low Oil Pressure Warning threshold: [INHIBIT] or 0,1-20.0BAR. If the
Oil Pressure drops below the setting for 15 seconds (continuously) the
warning alarm will energise (section 8.1.2). The setting [INHIBIT]
(<0.1BAR) disables the reading of the display (section 7.5) and keeps
the alarm from sounding.
[HI TEM] [INHIBIT] ............. High Temperature Warning threshold: 40-250°C or [INHIBIT].
If the Temperature rises above the setting for 15 seconds (continuously)
the warning alarm will energise (section 8.1.5). The setting [INHIBIT]
(>250°C) disables the reading of the display (section 7.5) and keeps the
alarm from sounding.
[LO TEM] [INHIBIT] ............ Low Temperature Warning threshold: [INHIBIT] or 1-80°C.
If the Temperature drops below the setting for 15 seconds (continuously)
the warning alarm will energise (section 8.1.5). The setting [INHIBIT]
(<1°C) disables the Low Temperature warning.
[ D+/WL] [8.0 Vdc] ............ Engine running trigger: 3-20Vdc, [INHIBIT]. If the voltage of the
Charger Alternator rises above this threshold, the BE2K terminates
cranking and energises the green LED 'ENGINE RUNNING' (section
4.0). If the Charger Alternator fails while the engine is running, the
Charger Failure alarm energises (see section 8.1.7).The [INHIBIT] code
(> 20Vdc) disables the Belt Break shut down (see section 8.1.7)
[ IDLE ] [INHIBIT] .............. IDLE speed control: INHIBIT,1-59secs, 1-15 mins or [NO STOP]. The
output #JC-3 energises in order to maintain the IDLE speed of the
engine. The output shuts down automatically after a timeout. The output
should be connected to a relay able to control the governor of the
engine.
7.6.3 [GENSET >] Parameters List. The name of the parameters and defaults are indicated below
on the left side. The right side describes the parameter.
[G OVERV] [500 V] ............ Generator Over Voltage setting: 60-998 Vac or [INHIBIT]. The engine
shuts down if the [G OVERV] voltage rises above the setting for [T
OVERV] seconds. The setting [INHIBIT] (>998V) disables the Over
Voltage alarm (section 8.1.14).
[T OVERV] [1 sec] .............. Over Voltage bypass timing: 1-15 seconds (see above).
[G UNDERV] [320 V] .......... Generator Under Voltage setting: 60-998 Vac or [INHIBIT]. The BE2K
shuts down the engine, after a cooling down time, if the voltage drops
below the [G UNDERV] setting for [T UNDERV] seconds. The [INHIBIT]
code (<60V) disables the alarm. The BE2K monitors the Under Voltage
only if the Contactor of the generator is closed (section 8.1.14).
[T UNDERV] [5 sec]............ Under Voltage bypass timing: 1-15 seconds (see above)
[G OVERHz] [55 Hz] .......... Generator Over Frequency setting: 20.0-70.0 Hz or [INHIBIT]. The

OVERHz] seconds. The [INHIBIT] (>70Hz) disables the Over Frequency
alarm (section 8.1.9).
[T OVERHz] [1 sec] ............ Over Frequency bypass timing: 1-15 seconds (see above)
[G UND/Hz] [48 Hz] ........... Generator Under Frequency setting: [INHIBIT] or 20.0-70.0Hz. The
engine will shut down, after a cooling down time, if the Under Frequency
persists for at least [T UND/Hz] seconds. The [INHIBIT] disables the
alarm. The BE2K monitors Under Frequency only if the Contactor of the
generator is closed (section 8.1.10).
[T UND/Hz] [6 sec] ............. Under Frequency bypass timing: 1-15 seconds (see above)
[OVER KW] [INHIBIT] ......... Over Power kW setting: 10-5000 kW or [INHIBIT]. The BE2K opens
the contactor and shuts down the engine, if the power rises above the
[OVER KW] setting for at least 30 seconds (section 8.1.12). The
[INHIBIT] setting (>5000kW) disables the alarm.
[OVER KVA] [INHIBIT] ....... Over Power kVA setting: 10-5000 kVA or [INHIBIT]. See the
description for [OVER KW] (see above) and section 8.1.12. The
[INHIBIT] code disables the Over kVA alarm.
[Max. KW] [INHIBIT] ........... Over Active Power warning: 10-5000 kVA or [INHIBIT]. You can
energize a programmable output if the active power exceeds the setting
(see section 7.6.6).
[T Max. KW] [6 sec] ........... Timing delay: 0-59 secs/1-40 minutes.
[Min. KW] [INHIBIT] ............ Under Active Power warning: 10-5000 kVA or [INHIBIT]. You can
energize a programmable output if the active power falls under the
setting (see section 7.6.6).
[T Min. KW] [6 sec] ............ Timing delay: 0-59 secs/1-40 minutes.
[TIMEOUT] [INHIBIT] .......... Test Time Out: 1-60 mins or INHIBIT. This timing allows you to limit the
running time of the engine if a remote computer, or Mobile Phone, has
been used to order the start. After the timeout, the engine will stop
automatically. The setting [INHIBIT] allows you to run the engine until
the BE2K receives a STOP command (either from PC or Mobile Phone).
In case of failure of the serial interface, the engine will always stop after
one minute.
[OVER Aac] [INHIBIT] ....... Over Current Shut Down setting: 10-9900Aac or [INHIBIT]. If the
Current rises above the [OVER Aac] setting for at least [T OVER A]
seconds, the genset shuts down (section 8.1.13). The [INHIBIT] setting
(>9900A) disables the alarm.
[T OVER A] [6 sec] ............ Over Current Shut Down bypass Timing: 1-59 secs/1-15 minutes.
[WARN Aac] [INHIBIT] ...... Over Current Warning setting:10-9900Aac or [INHIBIT]. If the Current
rises above this setting for at least [T OVER A] seconds, the warning
alarm output energises (#JB4, section 8.1.13). The [INHIBIT] setting
(>9900A) disables the alarm.
[T WARN A] [6 sec] ........... Over Current Warning timing: 1-59 secs or 1-15 minutes (see above).
[HORN] [1 min] .................. Alarm Horn time out: 5-59secs, 1-15minutes or [NO STOP]. The alarm
shuts off automatically after the programmed time period. The setting
[NO STOP] keeps the alarm from shutting off. To silence the alarm, push
the ‘ACK’ pushbutton. Further details are explained in section 8.0.

20.0 Application notes

20A-Oil Pressure/Temperature/Fuel readings In order to obtain accurate readings we recommend that you
connect the ground sense wire (terminal JM9) as close as possible to the sensors.
20B-Use of an External KEY-SWITCH
By means of an external 3-position key switch it is possible to select the operating modes of the BE2K. The
[AUTO-MAN] push button on the front panel will be disabled.
BE2K can operate in 2 modes : MAN-OFF-AUTO or RUN-OFF-AUTO.
MAN-OFF-AUTO:
(A) - Program the [JH2 MODE] for MANUAL operating mode ([KEY MAN] see section 7.6.6) and the [JH3
MODE] for AUTO operating mode ([KEY AUTO] see section 7.6.6).
(B) - Connect the 'MAN' key switch section to the input #JH2. Connect the other side of the switch to battery
minus.
(C) - Connect the 'AUTO' key switch section to the input #JH3. Connect the other side of the switch to battery
minus.
(D) - Leave the key switch section 'OFF' unconnected (available for other function).
(E) - The #JH1 input remains available for other use
(F) - The key switch allows you to enter the operating mode directly. The 'OFF' operating mode clears alarms
and shuts down the engine.
RUN-OFF-AUTO (NFPA110 level 1 and 2)

This special application requires a double section on the 'RUN' key switch position as described below:
( A ) - Program the [JH3 MODE] for AUTO operating mode ([KEY AUTO] see section 7.6.6)
( B ) - Connect the 'RUN' key switch (first section) to the input #JH3. Connect the other side of the switch to
battery minus.
( C ) - Connect the 'RUN' key switch (second section) to the input JM10 (REMOTE TEST). Connect the other
side of the switch to battery minus.
( D ) - Connect the 'AUTO' key switch section to the input #JH3. Connect the other side of the switch to battery
minus.
( E ) - Leave the key switch section 'OFF' unconnected.
( F ) - The #JH1 input and #JH2 input remain available for other use.
The key switch allows you to enter the operating modes directly. The 'OFF' operating mode clears alarms and
shuts down the engine.
NOTE:
A) It is possible to use the [OFF] pushbutton on the front panel to enter the OFF operating mode at anytime. In
order to restore the operating mode, it is necessary to turn the KEY-SWITCH to OFF and then to AUTO (or
MAN).
B) When the battery supply is applied, the BE2K enters directly into the operating mode according to the key-
switch position.
C) BE2K features programmable outputs (section 7.6.6, option '[AUTO]) to repeat the AUTO operating mode
status remotely.
20C-NFPA/110 Compliance
In case of shut down, in auto operating mode, the BE2K transfers the load to the Mains (if the Mains is within
the limits as indicated in section 7.6.1). To force the Mains contactor closed, as prescribed in NFPA-110 norms,
we recommend that you use the following instructions:
(A) – Program the SHUT DOWN option in the programmable OUTPUT 1 (#JB7).
(B) – Connect the coil of a relay to programable OUTPUT 1 (#JB7) and battery plus.
(C) – Connect the N.O. contacts of the relay, to the MAINS SIMULATION input (#JC10) and to battery minus.
The description of the sequence is as follows:

(a) - the Be2K shuts down the engine because of an alarm
(b) - the OUTPUT 1 is activated (because the engine has stopped) and the relay is energized
(c) - the Mains Simulation input activates
(d) - the LOAD will remain connected to the Mains until the alarm is cleared.
20D - Calibration in MANUAL operating mode
The calibration can easily be carried out as follows:
( A ) - Start the engine in MANUAL operating mode. Make sure the Battery voltage is over 12,0Vdc
( B ) - Wait for the generator to stabilize
( C ) - Push the [ENABLE] button until the message [CALIBR>] appears (12 seconds at least)
( D ) - Push the [>] button in order to select the parameter that you want to calibrate (see the list of the
parameters in the section 7.6.8)
( E ) - Provide a stable reference for the parameter (see column C in section 7.6.8)
( F ) - Push the [^] or [v] pushbuttons to adjust the parameter until you obtain a proper indication
( G ) - Push the [MODE-SAVE] pushbutton. The [SAVE?] message will appear for a second and then, the [YES
NO] message will ask you whether or not you would like to save. The message ‘YES’ is above the [<]
pushbutton and the message ‘NO’ is above the [>] pushbutton.
( H ) - Push the [<] or [>] pushbutton, as desired, to complete the task.
( I ) - The messages [SAVE....] and [OK] confirm the memorization. If the [>] pushbutton is pressed, the [No
SAVED] message appears for a second and the BE2k will exit the procedure.
( L ) - If the message [ERROR] appears, repeat the ‘G) -’ procedure.
( M ) - Stop the engine, disconnect the Vdc supply for a few seconds, and then reconnect the supply.
( N ) - We recommend that you check all measurements by starting the engine and comparing the readings with
the external reference instruments.
20E - Single Phase Operation
In order to operate Be2k in single phase follow the instructions:
( A ) - Enter the programming mode (section 7.6), select the menu [SETTING>] (section 7.6.7)
( B ) - Program the option [PHASES] to [SINGLE] mode.
( C ) - Select the menu [MAINS>] (section 7.6.1) and program a proper [M UNDERV] setting
( D ) - Select the menu [GENSET>] (section 7.6.3) and program a proper [G UNDERV] setting
( E ) - GENERATOR: Connect JA1 to L1 and JA6 to Neutral.
( F ) - MAINS: Connect JA8 to Line and JA10 to Neutral.
