Control Panel D - Digital
1
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.
As well as controlling the engine ‘STOP’, ‘PRE-HEAT’ and
‘START’ 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.
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.

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.

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.
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: 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.
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.
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.
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.
