BE1-11m Acceptance Testing
55 • Acceptance Testing
Although Basler Electric performs detailed acceptance testing on all new protection systems, it is
generally recommended that you perform each of the following acceptance test steps before installation.
The following steps test each function of the BE1-11m to validate that it was manufactured properly and
that no degradation of performance occurred because of shipping.
Test Equipment
Suitable test equipment requires a minimum of two current sources, two voltage sources, and a contact
wetting voltage. Test equipment should also have the capability of varying the frequency and the angle of
the voltage and current sources. A PC with BESTCOMSPlus® installed and configured for communication
with the BE1-11m is also required.
Power Up
Purpose: To verify that the BE1-11m performs the power-up sequence.
Step 1: Apply voltage to input power terminals A6 and A7. Table 55-1 shows the appropriate input
voltage for each BE1-11m style.
Table 55-1. Input Voltages
Step 2: Verify that the Power LED is ON, and that characters are displayed on the front panel. Upon
power-up, the BE1-11m will perform a brief self-test. During this brief test, the display indicates
each step of the self-test; Performing BIOS Tests…, Loading Application…, Initializing
Protection…, and then the default display screen. Contact Basler Electric Technical Support
Services if anything appears out of the ordinary or if an LCD error message appears.
Communications
Purpose: To verify that the BE1-11m communicates through the USB and optional Ethernet port.
Step 1: Use BESTCOMSPlus to connect to the BE1-11m through the front-panel USB port and through
the optional rear panel Ethernet port. Refer to the Communication chapter.
Style Number and Serial Number Verification
Purpose: To verify that the BE1-11m style number and serial number matches the unit and unit labels.
Step 1: Connect to the BE1-11m through BESTCOMSPlus.
Step 2: Use the Settings Explorer to open the General Settings, Style Number screen and verify that the
style number matches the unit labels.
Step 3: Use the Settings Explorer to open the General Settings, Device Info screen and verify that the
serial number matches the unit labels.
