With a
maintenance program
Belonging to
BEINAT S.r.l. always attentive to the needs of the market and new technologies, has overhauled a previous
versatile control unit, BX449F, for GAS and/or FIRE detection for industrial applications. To which can connect
sensors to detect: Toxic / Explosive Gases, Oxygen, and to detect fire principles.
Gas detection
The control unit has two danger levels:
1st LEVEL, pre-alarm. This is set at 13% of L.E.L. (200ppm) for all sensors.
2nd LEVEL, main alarm. This is set at 20 % of L.E.L. (300ppm) for all snsors.
To facilitate event readings, the control unit has a front panel with 4 LEDs indicating which probe is currently being
monitored in rotation, and a display showing the gas concentration measured on each pass.
GAS configurations
Connection from 1 to 4 conventional sensors, for different types of GAS up to max 4 sensors, 1 for each zone.
Fire detection
To the BX449F you can connect up to 5 fire detectors per each zone, either temperature or optical smoke detectors,
through a balanced line:
Optical smoke detectors, Temperature, Velocimetric temperature
The control unit’s microprocessor checks the detectors and connection line efficiency, open or short-circuited.
When the sensors detect a fire, theyl switch the proper relay.
FIRE configurations
Each zone can be connected up to a Max 5 sensors, even mixed, Smoke or Temperature, for a total Max of 20.
Automatic recognition of the type of probe connected, be it GAS OR FIRE.
Configurations Mixed GAS FIRE
For each zone assigned, the detection of only GAS or FIRE can be connected without distinction
OXYGEN configurations
When the operation is selected to detect OXYGEN, other types of sensor cannot be connected.
OXYGEN ALARM for <Oxygen deficiency and> Oxygen Excess
For oxygen pre-alarm and main alarm levels, see references on page 5.
Maintenance TEST.
With special measures, the function can be enabled to exclude the alarm relay for a maximum duration of 60
minutes. This allows the technician to perform all functions without having to interrupt the gas flow or activate sirens
Important: Assembly / maintenance of the appliance must be carried out by qualified personnel
and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the use of products that have to comply with

Precautions
CHECK the integrity of the unit after having removed it from the box.
Check that the data written on the box correspond to the type of gas used.
When doing the electrical connections, follow the drawing closely.
Any use of the detector for purposes other than the intended one is considered improper,
and as a result of which BEINAT S.r.l. therefore disclaims any responsibility for possible
damages caused to people, animals or objects.
IMPORTANT: the functional test must not be carried out with the gas tap open as this does not guarantee
sufficient concentration to activate the main alarm.
TERMS and EXPECTATIONS: The installation of the BX449F control unit, its ordinary and extraordinary
maintenance, every six months, and its out of service removal at the end of the functional life guaranteed by
the manufacturer, must be carried out by authorized or specialized personnel.
Do not allow it to become wet.
The unit can be seriously damaged as it is not waterproof so when immersed in water or exposed to high
humidity levels.
Do not drop it.
Heavy knocks or falls during transportation or installation can damage the appliance.

{f} TEST
Once activated, the control unit starts warm up for 100 seconds.
In this phase all the LEDs flash, waiting for the connected probes to go into full speed.
The power LED flashes until the warmup done.
Once started, the control unit enters detection mode: the power LED is on, even with the LEDs of the type
of gas selected on the zones enabled, based on the configuration of the DIP-SWITCHES.
It is therefore possible to carry out a first check of the system by pressing the test button: keeping this
button pressed, the control unit simulates a concentration of gas gradually increasing from the enabled sensors,
and it is therefore possible to control the switching on and off of the LEDs and that all switch relay, enabling
the loads connected to them.

{g} WORKING CONDITIONS
page 13
Depending on the input signal of the remote sensors, the control units can be found in the following working condition:
NORMAL MODE: the control unit receives a signal from the sensors corresponding to a gas level between 0% and 8%
of LEL for explosive gases and between 0 ppm and 120 ppm for toxic gases.
The relays are off and no alarm or fault LED lights up. The buzzer is off.
1st PRE-ALARM: the control unit receives a signal from the sensors corresponding to a gas level between 8% and 13%
of LEL for explosive gases and between 120 ppm and 200 ppm for toxic gases.
The relays are off and the red "8/120" LED lights up. The buzzer is off.
2nd PRE-ALARM: the control unit receives a signal from the sensors corresponding to a gas level between
13% and 20% of LEL for explosive gases and between 200 ppm and 300 ppm for toxic gases.
The pre-alarm relay changes state and the red LED "13/200" and "pre-alarm" also lights up
The pre-alarm relay is energized. The buzzer is on (low frequency).
MAIN ALARM: the control unit receives a signal from the sensors corresponding to a gas level higher than 20%
of LEL for explosive gases and greater than 300 ppm for toxic gases.
The main alarm relay changes state and the red "20/300" LED also lights up, the "Main alarm" LED flashes. The
main alarm relay is energized. The buzzer is on (high frequency).
OVER/UNDER RANGE: the control unit receives an under/over range signal. This condition is signaled through
two different flashing frequencies of the explosive gas LEDs.
The relays are off and no alarm or fault LED lights up. The buzzer is off.
FAULT: the control unit receives a "short circuit" or "open circuit" signal.
The yellow fault LEDs are on. The fault relay is energized. The buzzer is on (fixed sound).
SYSTEM ERROR: the control unit is blocked due to an internal fatal error.
The yellow error LEDs flash. Relays are OFF. The buzzer is on (LED frequency).
{i} PERIODIC CONTROL
{h} TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem.
If the error LED lights up, the system reports an error status.
Possible cause: The input current loop is broken or the transmitter is not powered.
Solution:
Check the connections between the transmitter and the control unit for interruptions. Check with a multimeter
the presence of a voltage around 12 VDC between the "+ V" and "GND" terminals of the reference input.
MAINTENANCE
A periodic service must include the following operations:
a) (every 6 months): Check the correct operation of the detection system by applying calibrated gas to each
remote sensor and checking the value.
Refer to the user manual of the sensors for more information.
b) (every 12 months): revision of the control unit transfer function and correct detection of anomalous
situations.
This can be done by disconnecting the sensors and forcing through a suitable calibrator the input current of
each zone to the significant values for example:
0 mA: open circuit,
3,7 mA: under range,
4-20mA: normal operation,
21 mA: Over range
23 mA: fault.
The following figure shows the conversion between mA and the corresponding gas concentration.

The simultaneous and prolonged pressing for 5 seconds of the "TEST" and
"RESET" keys enables the test-on mode in which the control unit does not switch
the general alarm relay for a period of 15 minutes; Not even by pressing the
external manual button.A further press of the keys in the same mode extends
the time by 15 minutes up to a maximum of 60 minutes.
In this mode, the string "tESt-On" (scrolling) is displayed before each passage
from the current channel to the next, followed by the minutes of the general
alarm relay being decommissioned.
N.B. Once the pre-set minutes are reached, the control unit automatically returns
to the control service mode.
You can terminate this mode before resetting the control unit by pressing 3
consecutive times and within 5 seconds the RESET button
NOTE. The alarm is activated only with the external manual button.

The BX449F control unit belongs to group II and must be installed in a safe area;
Outside the ATEX zone, however, not in boiler rooms or engine room.
The control unit must be accessible and visible to the user.
The BX449F control unit is a device suitable for being installed on the wall, or on an electrical panel using the
special bracket, optional, on request.
When installing, it is good to use the normal care that an electronic equipment requires:
- Install the equipment away from excessive heat sources.
- Avoid liquids coming into contact with the control unit, remembering that its external structure has IP20 degree
of protection if installed on the Boxed version (cabinet) supplied to the source is IP....
The sensors must be selected with an IP degree depending on the area to be controlled (Kitchens,
Boiler Rooms, Laboratory, etc.) by selecting one of the probes from Beinat from IP30 to ATEX. see
page 3
The GAS connected sensors to this equipment are of multiple types and must be positioned at different
heights according to the type of gas to be detected.
These heights are:
- 30 cm from the lowest point of the floor in order to detect: Heavy gases (L.P.G. etc.)
- 30 cm from the highest point of the ceiling in order to detect: light gases (Methane, etc.)
- 160 cm from the lowest point of the floor in order to detect: volatile gases (CO, etc.)
It is important to note that the remote probes should be installed according to the following
restrictions:
1) The sensors should not be placed near the appliances to be controlled (boilers, burners, industrial
kitchens, etc.) but on the opposite side.
2) The sensors should not be affected by smoke, vapour, and moving air, as they could distort their
measurement.
3) The sensors should not be placed near sources of heat, ventilators or fans.
It should be noted that the internal GAS sensors of the probe are perishable components with a variable
average life span from 5 to 6 years (you can request the relative table). Therefore, after this period of time
has elapsed it is advisable to replace them.
Maintenance
The user periodically (every 6 months) must carry out a check of the functioning of the detection system
by spraying a special test gas pouring the sensors connected to the BX449F until obtaining the alarm status
of the control unit.
a) At least once a year have a more accurate check performed by a specialized technician.
b) The disposal of the sensors after 5 years from installation must be carried out by qualified personnel.

1) Apply power using the proper external switch. This switch should be fitted with protection fuses.
2) You will notice that some LEDs will light up in turn for about 20”. N.B. Make sure all leds are working.
3) The display will start the COUNT DOWN of about 90 seconds (warm up). At the end the control unit is ready
for detection.
4) Pressing and holding down the TEST button, you can obtain a gas leakage simulation. The control unit will
carry out the following:
a) It will light up the prealarm led set to 13% LEL or the 200ppm (with reference to CO) and switching the
1st threshold relay. The buzzer will issue a low frequency sound.
b) It will light up the main alarm led set to 20% LEL or the 300ppm (with reference to CO). In addition to
maintaining the PRE ALARM relay switched, it will also switch the MAIN ALARM relay. The MAIN ALARM LED will
start blinking and the buzzer will issue a higher frequency sound.
5) To complete the test, carefully read the probe instruction manual and perform the sensor test by issuing
gas from a pre-calibrated aerosol.
6) If you want to simulate a zone FAULT, you only need to disconnect the signal cable of one or all the four
sensors. The control unit will carry out the following:
- The FAULT and MAIN ALARM LEDs will light up and blink;
- The buzzer will issue a continuous sound;
- The FAULT and MAIN ALARM relays will switch.
Reconnect the signal cable and press RESET to restore the control unit functioning.
