Quick Start Guide
This guide provides basic installation and setup information about BE1-11 Protection Systems. BE1-11
protection systems are delivered with a BE1-11 product CD. Upon receipt of the BE1-11, check the model
and style number against the requisition and packing list for agreement. If there is evidence of shipping
damage, file a claim with the carrier, and notify the Basler Electric Regional Sales Office, your sales
representative, or a sales representative at Basler Electric, Highland, Illinois.
If the BE1-11 is not installed immediately, store it in the original shipping carton in a moisture- and dust-
free environment.

Note
Do not connect a USB cable between the PC and the BE1-11 until
BESTCOMSPlus is installed. Connecting a USB cable before setup is
complete may result in errors.
Maintenance
Preventive maintenance consists of periodic replacement of the backup battery and periodically checking
that the connections between the BE1-11 and the system are clean and tight. The front cover should be
removed only when replacing the backup battery for the real-time clock. Ensure that the BE1-11 is
powered off and taken out of service before removing the front cover. BE1-11 units are manufactured
using state-of-the-art, surface-mount technology. As such, Basler Electric recommends that no repair
procedures be attempted by anyone other than Basler Electric personnel.
Storage
This device contains long-life aluminum electrolytic capacitors. For devices that are not in service (spares
in storage), the life of these capacitors can be maximized by energizing the device for 30 minutes once
per year.
Install BESTCOMSPlus®Software
BESTCOMSPlussoftware is built on the Microsoft®.NET Framework. The setup utility that installs
BESTCOMSPlus on your PC also installs the BE1-11 plugin and the required version of .NET Framework
(if not already installed). BESTCOMSPlus operates with systems using Windows®XP 32-bit SP3,
Windows Vista 32-bit SP1 (all editions), Windows 7 32-bit (all editions), Windows 7 64-bit (all editions),
Windows 8, and Windows 10. System recommendations for the .NET Framework and BESTCOMSPlus
are listed in Table 1.

To install BESTCOMSPlus, a Windows user must have Administrator rights.
1. Insert the BE1-11 product CD into the PC CD-ROM drive.
2. When the BE1-11 Product CD menu appears, click the installation button for BESTCOMSPlus. The
setup utility installs BESTCOMSPlus, the .NET Framework (if not already installed), the USB driver,
and the BE1-11 plugin for BESTCOMSPlus on your PC.
When BESTCOMSPlus installation is complete, a Basler Electric folder is added to the Windows
programs menu. This folder is accessed by clicking the Windows Start button and then accessing the
Basler Electric folder in the Programs menu. The Basler Electric folder contains an icon that starts
BESTCOMSPlus when clicked.
Power Up and Activate the BE1-11 Plug-In
The BE1-11 plugin is a module that runs inside the BESTCOMSPlus shell. The BE1-11 plugin contains
specific operational and logic settings for only BE1-11 protection systems. Uploading settings to the BE1-
11 is possible only after activating the BE1-11 plugin.
Note that if a BE1-11 is not connected, you will not be able to configure certain Ethernet settings.
Ethernet settings can be changed only when an active USB or Ethernet connection is present. Refer to
the Communication chapter in the appropriate BE1-11 instruction manual for more information.
USB Connection
The USB driver was copied to your PC during BESTCOMSPlus installation and is
installed automatically after powering the BE1-11. USB driver installation progress is
shown in the Windows Taskbar area. Windows will notify you when installation is
complete.
Connect a USB cable between the PC and your BE1-11. A typical USB cable with a
B-type connector is shown to the right.
NOTE
In some instances, the Found New Hardware Wizard will prompt you for the
USB driver. If this happens, direct the wizard to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Basler Electric\USB Device Drivers\
If the USB driver does not install properly, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter.
Apply Operating Power
The nominal power supply values are listed on the front-panel label. See Figure 1 for an example.
