Section: 1.0 Introduction

The Be2K-Plus integrates a 3-Phase Automatic Mains Failure module and a Generating Set controller. The Be2K-Plus
provides visual indication by means of LEDs and Displays for Engine environment, Electrical parameters and Alarms. The
Be2K-Plus is pre-programmed by your Panel or Genset manufacturer. Figure 1 illustrates the layout of the front panel.

Section 2.0: Selecting an Operational Mode

The mode of operation is selected by pushbuttons and indicated by means of green LEDs:

NOTE: If the BE2K-PLUS was in TEST or

AUTO prior to power down (battery supply),
when you switch on the power supply, the
Be2K-Plus enters the AUTO mode. In all
other cases, the Be2K-Plus will enter the OFF
mode.
The following sections describe the modes
of operation.

4
Be2K-PLUS User's Manual V200 - March - 010 page 5

2.10 OFF mode

This mode clears the fault alarms (see section 13.00) and allows the parameters to be read (see section 12.0).
The display indicates the MAIN MENU LIST (see section 4.00). The Display and LEDs are turned off after 30
seconds without a button press operation and a dot on the display will blink slowly. Press one of the pushbuttons
on the front panel to return to the display.

2.20 MANUAL mode

The MANUAL mode allows you to manually control the Engine and LOAD (see 2.21). Follow the instructions:

In case of presence of alarms, consult section 13.00 first

Manual Engine Control
Push the [MAN] pushbutton to select the MANUAL mode. Push
Engine Running
green LED
the [START] pushbutton until the engine starts; the display will
automatically open a page with information about the start
START STOP sequence: Preglow, Starting....... (see section 5.04)
Pushbutton Pushbutton When the engine is running, the green LED ‘ENGINE RUNNING’
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.

2.21 Manual Control of the LOAD To control the contactors manually, follow the instructions:

Instructions

Select the MANUAL mode, start the engine (see

2.20) and wait until the green LED ‘Generator
Presence’ turns on. Push the [ KG ]
pushbutton to close the contactor of the
Generator. To transfer the Load to the Mains, wait
for the green LED Mains Presence and push the
[ KM ] pushbutton: the KG will open and KM will
close after a 2-seconds delay. The displays
(section 3.01 & 5.00) indicate all parameters.

To switch off the LOAD, push the [ O ] pushbutton

at anytime.

Be2K-PLUS User's Manual V200 - March - 010 page 6

2.30 AUTO mode

!! WARNING !!
The Be2K-Plus can start the engine at anytime without warning. Do not work on equipment, which is
under the live control of the Be2K-Plus. When servicing the engine, disconnect the battery, the battery
charger and all sources of Voltage and Current. We recommend that warning signs be placed on
equipment indicating the above.

If alarms are already displayed, consult section 13.00 first

Push the [AUTO] pushbutton until the green LED illuminates. The engine will start in the case of a pre-
existing Mains failure. After the warm-up time and if the Voltage and Frequency are within the correct
settings, the contactor of the GENERATOR will close to supply your LOAD. The displays (section 3.01 &
5.00) indicate all parameters. If the Mains restores, the KG will open. The KM will then close following the
pre-programmed changeover timing. The Engine will stop after an idling cooling down time. If the engine
shuts down, the KM can close independently of the Mains status depending on the setting of Be2k-Plus,
otherwise the KM will close only if the parameters of the Mains are within the programmed settings. In
AUTO mode, the Be2K-Plus will periodically test the engine if the parameters PERIODIC TEST are
correctly programmed (section 7.01). During the PERIODIC TEST, the green LED of the AUTO mode will
continue to blink. In AUTO mode, the Be2K-Plus can start and stop the engine if a remote control is
activated. You can stop the engine at anytime by selecting the MAN mode.

(*)SEE NOTE

2.40 TEST mode

Push and hold the [AUTO] pushbutton until the green LED starts to blink. The Be2K-Plus will start the engine
and transfer the LOAD to the generator only in the case of Mains Failure (if not otherwise programmed by your
Panel supplier). To exit the TEST, push the [AUTO] pushbutton shortly or select another mode of operation.
(*)NOTE: If you push the [STOP] pushbutton when the Be2K-Plus is in AUTO or TEST, the ‘PANEL
EMERGENCY’ alarm will energize (see section 13.02).

Section: 3.00 LEDs indicators

The table explains the function of the LEDs (solid state lamps) on the front panel (see section 1, Figure 1). To test the
LEDs, push the [OFF] pushbutton to enter the OFF MODE. Push and hold the [←] and [→] pushbuttons simultaneously or
push the external TEST LAMP pushbutton (if provided by your panel manufacturer).

The red LEDs Display consists of 3 groups of 4 digits. The display on the TOP indicates the electrical parameters of Phase
L1, the display on the MIDDLE the Phase L2 and the display on the BOTTOM, the Phase L3. Two yellow LEDs indicate the
mode of the display (Voltage Mode or Current Mode). Push the [ACK-F1] button to toggle the display mode; the other yellow
