An internal modem is also provided to remotely access DECS-400 settings and alarms.
Password Protection
All DECS-400 parameters can be viewed at the front panel display, through BESTCOMS, or through
Modbus
™ without the need of a password. If the user wishes to change a setting, the proper password
must be entered to allow access to the parameter. Two levels of password protection exist. One level
provides global access to all parameters. The other level provides limited access to parameters normally
associated with operator control.
Upgrading from DECS-300 to DECS-400
The upgrading process was designed to be easy, but some additional wiring may be necessary. An
escutcheon plate for easy installation is recommended (see the Installation chapter). To make the
upgrade process easier, BESTCOMS software for the DECS-400 provides a tool to convert a DECS-300
settings file to a DECS-400 settings file (see the BESTCOMS Software chapter).
Model and Style Number
DECS-400 electrical characteristics and operational features are defined by a combination of letters and
numbers that make up the style number. The model number, together with the style number, describe the
options included in a specific device and appear on a label affixed to the rear panel.

The style number identification chart in Figure 1 defines the electrical characteristics and operational
