SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader Operation
Power Requirements
3.2
The SEL-8310 communicates the status of FCIs connected to any SEL-8300 within its
range via LEDs and various audible tones. The front display section labeled Fault
Indication has 12 LEDs arranged in a 4 x 3 matrix. The rows represent Ways 1, 2, 3,
and 4, as read from top to bottom. The columns represent Phases A, B, and C, as read
from left to right. For example, the status displayed in the top left position would
correspond to an FCI monitoring Phase A of Way 1. Each LED corresponds to the
position of each FCI probe installed in the SEL-8300.
Audio annunciation of FCI status is discussed in the manual sections, DIP Switch
Settings and Audio Indication, which follow.
In addition to displaying FCI status, the SEL-8310 also displays its status (ON or OFF)
and battery health through a
POWER LED. The INTERFACE LED indicates the relative
health of the SEL-8300, conveying any self-test problems and the lithium battery
health.
The SEL-8300 is equipped with an ID selector dial that allows its radio to
communicate via one of eight IDs. This allows the R
ADIORANGER system to be used
in locations populated with multiple subsurface vaults within a small geographic area.
The SEL-8310 can display information from up to eight different SEL-8300 units
within range. The SEL-8310 identifies and differentiates each SEL-8300 within range
via a series of LEDs corresponding to each Wireless Interface ID.
Power Requirements
The SEL-8310 is powered from three 1.5 Volt, AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable).
To open the battery cover, turn the fastener 1/4 turn counterclockwise. You can unhinge
and remove the battery cover to access the battery holder, DIP switches, and
programming header. Insert the batteries according to the polarity noted in the battery
holder. To replace the battery cover, insert the two tabs of the cover under the hinge and
lay the cover flat against the batteries. To secure the battery cover, turn the fastener 1/4
turn clockwise.
DIP Switch Settings
Access the eight-position DIP switch through the battery compartment. Refer to Power
Requirements for instructions on opening the battery cover. DIP Switches 1 and 2
adjust the audio mode of the SEL-8310, while DIP Switches 3 and 4 allow the unit to
operate on a single frequency. Note: Do not adjust DIP Switches 5, 6, 7, and 8. They
should remain in the OFF position.
The SEL-8310 supports four audio modes, selectable via the DIP switch block located
under the battery cover. Tabl e 3. 1 describes the four audio modes and the DIP switch
settings used to select them.
