Pressing the front-panel Reset key clears the targets and the Trip LED. Depending on device security
setup, a username and password may be required to reset targets at the front panel. Logging in is not
required if the Unsecured Access Level is set to Operator or higher. Target reset can also be set outside
of security control, allowing reset without logging in. Refer to the Security chapter for more information.
A target reset key is available as a status input in BESTlogicPlus. Refer to the BESTlogicPlus chapter for
more information.
Fault Reports
The BE1-11m records information about faults and creates fault summary reports. A maximum of 255
fault summary reports are stored in nonvolatile memory. When a new fault summary report is generated,
the BE1-11m discards the oldest of the 255 events and replaces it with a new one. Each fault summary
report is assigned a sequential number (from 1 to 255) by the BE1-11m. After event number 255 has
been assigned, the numbering starts over at 1.
Five different event types are generated by the BE1-11m: Trip, Pickup, Logic, Breaker Failure, and
Forced Trigger.
BE1-11m protection systems have three identification fields: Device ID, Station ID, and User ID. These
fields are used in the header information lines of the fault reports. Refer to the BESTCOMSPlus Software
chapter for information on BE1-11m identification settings.
