Quick Start
This chapter provides basic installation and setup information about the BE1-11g Generator Protection
System. BE1-11g protection systems are delivered with a BE1-11 product CD. Upon receipt of the
BE1-11g, 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 BE1-11g is not installed immediately, store it in the original shipping carton in a moisture- and dust-

Note
Do not connect a USB cable between the PC and the BE1-11g 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 BE1-11g 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 BE1-11g is
powered off and taken out of service before removing the front cover. BE1-11g 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.
