CONTROL PANEL ‘D’ - DIGITAL

Is our most technically advanced engine control/monitor whose module is water resistant to IP67 and has a super bright screen that facilitates viewing in both strong sunlight and also at night, simply select the appropriate setting to ensure that it is always easy on the eye.

The panel uses standard Micro-C connection which allows data to be relayed and viewed all across your on-board network. It is compatible with NMEA 2000 & IEC 61 162-3 On vessels with twin engine installations each engine control panel needs to be programmed as Port and Starboard to facilitate dual or independent viewing on other network devices.

As well as controlling the engine ‘HEAT’, ‘START’ and ‘STOP’ functions at the press of a button it also allows you to digitally monitor engine RPM, engine temperature, oil pressure and provides a voltmeter for either single or twin alternators.

OPERATING THE ENGINE

STARTING

STOPPING

1. Switch the panel on via the ‘POWER’ switch.

1. Press the ‘STOP’ button until the engine stops. This should not be more than 5 seconds.

Note: The screen takes 5 - 10 seconds to power up the display, during this time you can continue to...

2. Switch off the ‘POWER’ switch. Any alarm will be shown on the display screen.

2. Press and hold the ‘HEAT’ for 6 seconds.

3. Press and hold the ‘START’ button until the engine starts. No more than 10 seconds as this could damage the starter motor.

Alternatively, calibration can be manually set without the engine running by pressing buttons 1 or 2 to achieve the relevant value as shown within the RPM Calibration Chart or alternatively by using the calibration factor calculation both found on page 9.

Button 1 increases the value, button 2 decreases the value. Once the correct value is highlighted press button 3 to save the setting.

Press button 5 to exit and return to the SETTINGS menu.

Pressing button 5 once more returns to the CONFIG menu, pressing once more returns to the normal digital dashboard.

Press button 2 to scroll down the SETTINGS screen to highlight -

Single engine or Port engine When highlighted as a yellow bar, pressing button 4 allows you to switch identity from Single engine or Port Engine to Starboard engine identification.

On a twin engine vessel with an on-board network it is important to set one engine as Single or Port and the other as Starboard to ensure all correct data and views are available within on-board network devices.

Pressing button 5 once more returns to the CONFIG menu, pressing once more returns to the normal digital dashboard.

Press button 3 to scroll down the SETTINGS screen to highlight -

Alarm Thresholds Panel D has Beta Marine recommended Alarm Threshold values set as default. Depending on the vessel, application and its use it may be appropriate to raise or lower these values.

Note: This should not be done without consulting Beta Marine for technical advice/approval. If an alarm threshold has been changed without consultation and the consequential result is engine damage, Beta Marine limited will not accept any liability.

Engine temperature, oil pressure & alternator voltage parameters can all be adjusted.

Calibration Factor Calculation To calculate your calibration factor: 1. Measure the diameter of the alternator pulley in mm (A) 2. Measure the diameter of the crank pulley in mm (C) 3. Add measurements into the following sum: (A/C)*9.5=CAL Example: An alternator pulley with a 75mm diameter and crank pulley with a 180mm will calculate as 75 divided by 180 = 0.416 multiplied by 9.5 will give a calibration factor of 3.9.

Note: Please note this is only for 12 pole alternators.

UPDATING THE DISPLAY SOFTWARE

The software from time to time will be updated, this maybe to add features or options. Beta Marine can provide up to date files on request.

If your software is not current and an update is required Beta Marine will require visual proof of existing engine hours before free issuing the new software.

Before updating your software please read the following instructions carefully and be aware that it is extremely important that only a USB stick is used that only has the required two Beta Marine files within and contains no other data.

Note: Due to the narrow recess and depth of the USB connection socket it will be necessary to have a USB connection extension lead available. Depending on cable flexibility it may have to be supported with an appropriate guide.

Note: Panel D is permanently live to the engine start battery for engine stop/start. The panel power switch only turns on or off the panel display screen. For your safety please ensure that when requested the starter battery is isolated from the panel.

Fig 1

Before proceeding with a software update the current engine hours must be recorded. Please refer to CONFIG MENU section of this manual.

To ensure you software is up to date please email: spares@betamarine.co.uk or telephone: +44 (0)1452 723492.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION 1. Switch off/isolate engine battery and remove the D Panel from the vessels installation point but keep the 11-way plug connected.

2. Remove the rubber grommet/bung from the rear of the panel (Fig 2 & Fig 3).

Fig 2

Fig 3

10

Fig 4

Fig 5

3. Insert the USB connection lead & connect to panel USB slot. Connect USB stick to USB connection lead (Fig 4 & 5) then reconnect engine battery and switch panel display on.

Fig 6

4. While updating, the screen will flash yellow, once upload complete the screen will flash green. At this point switch off/isolate the D panel from the engine battery and remove the USB stick & connection lead. Then switch back on and check the display is functioning correctly (Fig 7) before finally switching off the display and switch off/isolate engine battery.

Fig 7

5. Replace the rubber grommet/bung into the D panel.

(Fig 2 & Fig 3).

6. Refit D panel into the vessels installation point. Once engine battery is reconnected and display panel is switched on, you must reset the RPM calibration and engine hour meter. Please refer to CONFIG MENU section of this manual.
