Section 1.0 Introduction
The Be142 & Be42-3Phase 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 a RS485 (MODBUS-RTU)
interface for remote control & monitoring. You can read the current of the load by connecting the CTs on load
side. Figure 1 presents the panel layout.

2.3 AUTO mode
Note: default programming for input #36 is ‘normally closed‘. To inhibit the alarm [Er.08]
you are required to connect terminal #36 to battery minus (Emergency input).
Push the [AUTO] pushbutton until the green LED illuminates. The engine starts when the Be142 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 following a programmed 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 programmed settings. In AUTO mode, the Be142 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 mode will continue to blink. In AUTO mode, the Be142 can start and stop the engine according to
programmed inputs (see Tables 7.06 and 7.07 options [10] & [11] for example).
Note: when the Mains (or Generator) is in stable condition, the green LED ‘V’ is permanently ON. When
voltage or frequency is outside limits, the green indicator ‘V’ blinks slowly (see table 7.01-7.02).
Push the [TEST] pushbutton until the green LED illuminates. The Be142 starts the engine and transfers the load
to the Generator if [P.17] is [on]. To stop the engine, select the AUTO mode (if Mains is present) or select the
OFF mode. If you push the [STOP] pushbutton when the Be142 is in AUTO or TEST, the [Er.09] will energise.
To clear the alarm, select the OFF mode (section 8.0).
The PROGRAM mode allows parameter programming and modifications of settings. A password can be set to
protect the panel from unauthorised access (see 6.0).
The CALIBRATION mode allows calibration of all analogue measurements (see 12.0).

Section 10.0 Be42 for PUMP SETS
If you use the Be142 to control a PUMP SET, we recommend the use of the following settings:
The Be142 inhibits the starter motor when the engine starts running. When the engine is not running, voltage in
terminal D+/WL of the charger alternator (input #22) is 0 V. As soon as the Be142 starts the engine, a voltage
appears in the D+/WL terminal (0.8 to 2.5 V). When the engine starts running, the voltage of the D+/WL terminal
increases by up to 3 V - 6 V. When the engine runs, the voltage reaches 14 V (28 V) needed to charge the
battery. The safest point to disconnect the starter motor is between 6 V to 10 V. The default parameter of [P.26]
is 8.0 V. This value is recommended for engines using 12 V batteries. For 24 V batteries, we recommend that
you set the threshold to 16 V.
For safe calibration, be sure that the green ‘ENGINE RUNNING’ LED on the front panel is off during all of the
starting attempts. The Charger Alternator voltage can be displayed in the 'Engine menu' as indicated in the
section 3.0. For Flywheel chargers, the reading is not accurate. The [P.26] setting, in this case, expresses only a
proportional factor.
The Be142 also uses the output of the Generator in order to disconnect the crank motor. Parameters [P.27] and
[P.28] set the crank termination. These parameters do not affect the status of the green ‘ENGINE RUNNING’
LED. The insertion of switches or breakers in series to terminals #13 and #14 is not recommended.
NOTE: THE ‘ENGINE RUNNING’ LED MUST BE LIT WHEN THE ENGINE RUNS. USING THE ENGINE
WITHOUT THIS SIGNAL MAY BE DANGEROUS.
Normally, using a diesel engine, we recommend enabling the BELT BREAK protection. This is accomplished by
programming a voltage setting in the [P.26] sub-menu. To test the efficiency of this protection, disconnect
terminal D+ from the charger alternator and connect to ground the #22 terminal. This protection is delayed by 15
seconds.
1) - Make sure the Battery voltage is over 12.0 Vdc and select the MAN mode. Start the engine if you need to
calibrate a parameter of the generator or,
2) - Push and hold the [F9→] and [ACK-F10] pushbuttons simultaneously, for about 5 seconds, until the yellow
LED [h/Prog.] starts to blink and display indicates [-CAL]; release the buttons.
3) - If the Be142 programming is password protected, the message [42.42] will appear; follow the instructions in
table 6.11. If the Be142 is not password protected, the parameter [n1.n2] will appear on the display and you can
proceed as indicated in section 12.2.

message appears (approximately 5 seconds); the Be142 saves the calibrations and remains in Manual mode.
(°)Note: in order to obtain a reading on display you are required to set a value in P29, P30 and P38
- Remove the supply. Push and hold the [I-F3] & [I-F5] pushbuttons simultaneously and apply the Vdc supply.
- As soon as the message AUTO-TEST appears, release the pushbuttons; the display will indicate [ F1].
- Push [F1] and then push, one by one, all pushbuttons indicated by the message on display.
- After pushing the last pushbutton ([AUTO]), the message [-EPP] will appear; wait a few seconds.
- The memory, now, is erased. The Be142 will use the factory-programmed parameters (defaults).
- Remove the supply and re-program the controller according to your need. We always recommend that you
program a password in order to limit the access (see section 6.40).

A) - Push the [ACK-F10] pushbutton, for about 10 seconds, until the message [-out] appears.
B) - Plug the output connector (terminal #1 - #10), as indicated in the section 13.1. At this stage, if a lamp turns
on, the Be142 is damaged and should be returned for service.
C) - Push a button on the front panel. According to Table 13.3, the display should indicate the proper message
and the lamp turns on. If a lamp fails to turn on, the Be142 is damaged and should be returned for service.
A) - Push the [ACK-F10] pushbutton, for about 10 seconds, until the message [SEnS] appears. If the display
indicates the message [Gnd] you are requested to connect the ground compensation input terminal #25.
B) - Apply 3 resistors of known value (+/- 1%) in a range 100 Ohm up to 1000 Ohm as indicated in section 13.1.
C) - Push the pushbuttons according to the Table 13.4. You should read the value in OHM on the display. The
display indicates the reading as long as you push and hold the button. If the value indicated by the display is
more than 3% (or less than 3%), the Be142 is damaged and should be returned for service.
[*] NOTE: the sum of the total output current (# 1- # 10) may not exceed 2 A at 70°C
[**] NOTE: errors can be reduced by using the calibration mode (section 12.0)
[***] NOTE: operations with memory (storing parameters, hours, etc) are allowed only if the Vdc is over 11.5V.

A) - Enter the 'Program Mode' and set [P.41] to [168] hours (168 hours=7days).
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 Be142 will start the engine after the programmed hours. The engine will run OFF-LOAD for 20 minutes. If
the Mains fails during the automatic periodic test, the Be142 will transfer the load to the generator.
The Be142 does not use an internal real time clock for the programmed hours ([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 the following procedures (D) and (E) as indicated in section 16.10.
IMPORTANT NOTICE If the Vdc voltage supply is removed, the Be142 loses count of the days. When the
supply restores, the Be142 starts to count the A.P.T. from zero. To synchronize the periodic start follow the
above instructions (D) & (E).
To use the Be142 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.
Program the parameter [P.8] with the proper option as indicated in section 7.01B. Connect the Mains to
terminals ‘R’ (Phase) and ‘S’ (Neutral). Connect the Generator to terminals ‘L1’ (Phase) and ‘L2’ (Neutral).
Connect the current transformer to terminals ‘COM’ and ‘CT1’. Do not forget to set P4, P5, P9 and P10
(Over/Under Voltage settings) according to your needs.
