INTRODUCTION

The BEC100 compact engine controller offers automatic start/stop

control along with many added features - all at an economical
price. Designed with adaptability in mind, the BEC100 lends itself
to be an easy replacement for many higher cost controllers. The
onboard LED indicators give the user quick and easy warnings of
engine failures and operating conditions. Added features include
six lamp output terminals and a dual function input/output terminal.
Engineered to be simple to install (without the need for a PC), the
BEC100 is microprocessor-based and yet can be entirely setup with
dip switches and pots. The BEC100 is hard-potted to withstand the
rough environments and conditions found in various engine appli-
cations.

DESCRIPTION

The BEC100 operates on a 3.4 to 30V DC power. Upon receiving

a start signal, the crank cycle begins. The BEC100 has two Form A
contacts for starter and fuel relay control and can be configured for
up to eight crank cycles with a (1 to 60 second) crank duration. The
controller has an added setting for a single crank cycle for up to 120
seconds and is preset to a 10 second crank rest time.
The BEC100 monitors the magnetic pick-up signal to determine
crank disconnect, loss of sender, and overspeed conditions. If
overspeed or loss of sender signal is detected the engine will shut
down.
Four mounted red LEDs indicate shutdowns via a solid light for LOW
OIL, HIGH TEMP, OVERCRANK and OVERSPEED. (CRANK
PAUSE) and (LOSS OF SENDER) is indicated by blinking the
OVERCRANK and OVERSPEED LEDs respectively. A fifth green
ENGINE RUNNING LED lights solid when the engine is running.
The bypass timer/logic assures that the Low Oil and High Tempera-
ture switches are disabled during the crank period and are enabled
to an adjustable period (1-180 seconds) after crank disconnect.
The overspeed shutdown setting is factory set to 13% above nomi-
nal speed. The BEC100 allows for safe calibration of the overspeed
setting without exceeding the nominal engine speed. The unit has
six lamp output terminals for operating remote annunciators and
a dual function input/output terminal that can be used to drive a
common alarm lamp as well as accept an additional shutdown in-
put (low fuel, emergency stop, etc.) All of the settings can be field
adjusted (with the exception of the crank rest time) via 25-turn po-
tentiometers.

INSTALLATION
The BEC100 is designed to be front panel mounted. Overlay for designating the LED functions is supplied. The BEC100 is equipped with
screw lug terminals and also has a lamp test input that will activate all onboard LEDs. Once the system is placed into a fault condition it
must be cleared by turning the controller off and then back on again.
