RADIORANGER Instruction Manual Date Code 20070301 Section 1 Introduction and Specifications Introduction Locating faults in complex underground distribution systems has always proven challenging for electrical utilities. Troubleshooting often requires the time consuming and dangerous tasks of blocking traffic, opening, ventilating, draining, and accessing subsurface vaults in search of the fault location. SEL’s RADIORANGER™ Wireless Fault Indication System allows utility personnel to have street-level access to the status of faulted circuit indicators (FCIs) installed below grade. This system dramatically reduces the need to access vaults during a patrol, which reduces fault-locating time and improves personnel safety. This section covers the following areas: ➤ Product Overview ➤ Connections and System Diagram ➤ Accessories ➤ General Safety Information ➤ Specifications Product Overview The RADIORANGER is a wireless fault indication system for locating underground faults at street level, mitigating the need to access subsurface enclosures to retrieve FCI status. The RADIORANGER system consists of the SEL-8300 Wireless Interface (a subsurface radio), the SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader (a handheld device), and SEL FCIs that connect to the Wireless Interface to convey FCI status, see Figure 1.1. A variety of SEL FCIs can be ordered with a magnetic probe output in place of a visual display. The magnetic probe output connects to keyed ports on the SEL-8300 Wireless Interface. The SEL-8300 accepts up to 12 FCI magnetic probes, allowing a user to monitor up to four 3-phase circuits per installation. The SEL-8300 communicates via the unlicensed 900 MHz band to a handheld SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader using a proprietary protocol. The design of the protocol makes communicating with or interfering with other devices unlikely. Utility personnel use the SEL-8310 to interrogate multiple Wireless Interface units to determine the status of FCIs installed in Date Code 20070301 RADIORANGER Instruction Manual 1.2 Introduction and Specifications Connections and System Diagram subsurface vaults. The RADIORANGER system can dramatically reduce fault-locating times in dense metropolitan areas, reduce troubleshooting costs, improve reliability, and improve personnel safety. Connections and System Diagram SEL fault indicators equipped with magnetic RADIORANGER Interface Probes communicate their status to the Wireless Interface. Utility personnel can quickly retrieve subsurface FCI status at street level via the wireless communications link between the Wireless Interface and Remote Fault Reader. Remote Fault Reader RADIORANGER Interface Probe Wireless Interface Figure 1.1 Fault Indicator RADIORANGER System Accessories For the most effective performance of the RADIORANGER in a vehicle, use the optional accessory kit. The kit includes a windshield-mounting bracket for the Remote Fault Reader and a magnetically-mounted remote antenna terminated with the appropriate connector.

Connect SEL FCIs equipped with a magnetic probe output to the SEL-8300 via a keyed interface. Each magnetic probe assembly includes a permanent magnet, which activates a Hall-effect sensor inside the SEL-8300 to indicate the presence of an FCI probe, and two coils that deliver the FCI trip and reset signals. Integral or remote antenna Eight easy-to-set IDs allow for application in dense areas Maintenance free: System health monitored remotely via the Remote Fault Reader Figure 2.1 Estimated 15-year product life (about 40 faults/year) Sealed, waterproof, and IP58 rated Connect up to 12 FCIs wired with RADIORANGER Interface Probes SEL-8300 Wireless Interface Date Code 20070301 RADIORANGER Instruction Manual 2.2 SEL-8300 Wireless Interface Installation SEL-8300 Installation SEL-8300 Installation Securely mount the SEL-8300 using four 1/4 inch-sized (6.0 mm) fasteners (not included) designed for the surface to which the unit is being attached. To protect the polycarbonate material of the Wireless Interface, use a flat washer in conjunction with each fastener. We recommend that you install each fastener with a torque of 25 in/lbs not to exceed 50 in/lbs. Install the SEL-8300 vertically to ensure optimal integral antenna position and to maximize the life of the integral lithium battery. Figure 2.2 SEL-8300 Dimensional Diagram Standard SEL FCI lead lengths for magnetic probe outputs are 12 feet. Additional lead lengths can be specified. Mount the SEL-8300 in a location that provides access to all FCI magnetic probes. The RADIORANGER system communicates via 900 MHz; to improve the range, install the SEL-8300 in locations with few RF impediments, such as below a grate, if possible. Additionally, RF performance will be compromised in vaults where flooding can occur. In vaults where flooding is common or where the FCI lead RADIORANGER Instruction Manual Date Code 20070301 SEL-8300 Wireless Interface Installation SEL-8300 Installation 2.3 length is insufficient for optimal installation, order SEL-8300 units with an optional remote antenna that provides an extra 15' of lead length. For best results, orient the omni-directional antenna vertically so that it points toward the surface. Figure 2.3 SEL-8300 Installed in Underground Vault Power The SEL-8300 is equipped with two dials: a power switch and an ID selector. The smaller dial, labeled PWR, controls the power and has two positions. When the arrow is pointing up, the SEL-8300 is on. When the arrow is pointing down, the unit is off. The unit is shipped in the off position to conserve battery energy. The SEL-8300 is powered by a 20-year shelf life lithium D cell. SEL designed the RADIORANGER system to optimize battery life without compromising RF range. As such, the SEL-8300 is expected to provide 15 years of service life under normal operating conditions. Wireless Interface ID Selection The larger dial on the SEL-8300, labeled ID, allows the user to select one of eight wireless interface IDs. The Wireless Interface ID is part of the communications string between the SEL-8300 and SEL-8310 and identifies which ID(s) the Remote Fault Reader is communicating with. Therefore, the user should select different IDs if installing multiple SEL-8300 units within a 150-foot radius. Doing so prevents communications collisions with the SEL-8310, which could create a source of confusion for the operator. It is important to situate the ID selector within one of the eight detent positions in the SEL-8300 housing, to ensure proper ID selection. Additionally, the ID could serve as a customer-specific naming convention to indicate the nature of certain installations. For example, certain IDs could represent specific vault configurations, voltages classes, etc. Another example of a naming convention is to have odd-numbered IDs represent circuits arranged in a North-South direction, and even-numbered IDs represent circuits arranged in an East-West direction.

Perform the following steps to make sure all FCIs are connected properly to the Wireless Interface. Step 1. On the SEL-8300, turn the PWR dial to the ON position. Step 2. Set the ID dial to any of the eight ID positions. Step 3. Turn on the SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader. Step 4. Press the {Scan} button on the SEL-8310 and verify that it communicates with the SEL-8300. Step 5. Verify that the SEL-8310 display of the ID and FCI probes matches the SEL-8300. See Section 3: SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader Operation for information on using the SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader. Step 6. After the connection and status is correct, exit the subsurface vault and verify that the communications range is adequate. Remember to close the vault when determining communications range. Date Code 20070301 RADIORANGER Instruction Manual 2.6 SEL-8300 Wireless Interface Installation Testing and Verifying Installation Step 7. If the range is not adequate, move the SEL-8300 to a different location, possibly a higher point in the vault. Step 8. If moving the SEL-8300 does not provide adequate communications range outside of the vault, you may need to order the SEL-8300 with an external antenna. You can mount the external antenna near the top of the vault. RADIORANGER Instruction Manual Date Code 20070301 Section 3 SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader Operation Introduction The SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader provides a human-machine-interface (HMI) to utility personnel charged with locating and isolating faulted sections of circuits. The SEL-8310 is a handheld device that communicates wirelessly with any SEL-8300 Wireless Interface within range. Flexible antenna Durable, buoyant case rated to IP54 Remote Fault Reader battery monitor Displays up to eight unique Wireless Interface IDs Easy-to-use keypad Figure 3.1 Wireless Interface health monitor Communicates fault-indication presence and status Red—Tripped Green—Untripped Off—No fault indicator present Operates on three alkaline or rechargeable AA batteries SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader Front View Date Code 20070301 RADIORANGER Instruction Manual 3.2 SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader Operation Power Requirements 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 RADIORANGER 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. Table 3.1 describes the four audio modes and the DIP switch settings used to select them. RADIORANGER Instruction Manual Date Code 20070301 SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader Operation DIP Switch Settings Table 3.1 3.3 Four Audio Modes Selectable With the DIP Switch Block Audio Mode DIP Switch 1 DIP Switch 2 Silent Mode ON ON Summary Mode ON OFF Morse Code Mode OFF ON Row/Column Mode OFF OFF The four audio modes are described briefly below.

FCI Status Summary information is followed by FCI Detail information annunciated in Row/Column Mode. All audio indications will be annunciated at the current volume control setting, with the exception of HMI Adjust Mode indications. You can configure the SEL-8310 for single frequency operation to allow two SEL-8310 units to operate within the same area simultaneously, with each unit on a different frequency. Table 3.2 shows the DIP switch settings that enable this functionality. Table 3.2 DIP Switch Settings Position of Switch DIP Switch 3 Functionality DIP Switch 4 Functionality OFF Single-Frequency Operation Disabled Use Base Frequency ON Single-Frequency Operation Enabled Use Offset Frequency When DIP Switch 3 is in the ON position, DIP Switch 4 determines the single frequency to be used. If DIP Switch 3 is in the OFF position, then DIP Switch 4 has no effect. If using two SEL-8310 units in the same area, both units should have DIP Switch 3 set to ON and one of the units should have DIP Switch 4 set to ON. Date Code 20070301 RADIORANGER Instruction Manual 3.4 SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader Operation Audio Indication Audio Indication The SEL-8310 is equipped with a piezospeaker that produces four distinct audible tones to supplement LED indications. The tones are denoted as pitches P1, P2, P3, and P4 in this manual and are annunciated for either a short (50 ms) or long (150 ms) duration. The tones or sequence of tones are depicted in Figure 3.2–Figure 3.14 and in Table 3.5. There are four basic categories of audible annunciation: Process Status, FCI Status Summary, FCI Details, and Button Press. Additionally, a user can select from four audio modes: Silent, Summary, Row/Column, or Morse Code Mode. These audio modes are described in DIP Switch Settings. Process Status Process Status events are annunciated to provide feedback of SEL-8310 status. Each type of event is described below. Power-Up The Power-Up event is annunciated after a successful Power On Self-Test (POST) is completed. It is a series of four tones, three short tones followed by one long tone, increasing in pitch. P4 P3 P2 P1 Figure 3.2 Power-Up Audio Indication in All Audio Modes POST (Power On Self-Test) Fail The POST Fail event is annunciated if any of the self-tests fail during power up.

This annunciation will sound after a scan when the ID containing multiple SEL-8300 units is selected after pressing the {Next} button. For more information on Data Collision see Scanning for and Retrieving Data from SEL-8300 Units on page 3.10. This is a set of long tones alternating between two pitches (high-low, high-low). P4 P3 P2 P1 Figure 3.11 Data Collision Audio Indication in All Audio Modes FCI Detail If a user has configured the SEL-8310 for either Row/Column or Morse Code Modes, the FCI Detail tones will be annunciated after the FCI Status Summary (see DIP Switch Settings on page 3.2 for more information). These tones will indicate all of the tripped phases on the lowest faulted Way. If more than one Way contains tripped FCIs, only the status of the lowest Way with tripped FCIs will be annunciated. Morse Code Mode If the current audio mode is Morse Code Mode, then the FCI Detail audio indication will consist of the lowest Way that contains one or more faults (1, 2, 3, or 4), followed by each faulted Phase in the Way (A, B, and C). The Morse Code dot-dash patterns for all possible Ways and Phases are shown in Figure 3.12.

Pressing the {Power} button causes the unit to enter a Power On Self-Test (POST) and alternates illuminating all LEDs in solid green, solid yellow, and solid red for 0.75 seconds each. Provided that the battery voltage is 3.0 Volts or above, it annunciates successful POST with a four-tone scan. If the battery voltage is below 3.0 Volts, the device will turn off to prevent damage to rechargeable batteries. Date Code 20070301 RADIORANGER Instruction Manual 3.10 SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader Operation Operation The POWER LED also indicates the relative battery life of the three 1.5 V (alkaline or rechargeable) AA batteries required to power the SEL-8310, as well as any internal RAM or Flash memory issues. ➤ A solid green LED indicates the voltage is above 3.2 Volts. ➤ A solid yellow LED indicates the voltage is at or below 3.2 Volts. ➤ A flashing red LED indicates that either the RAM or Flash memory self-check failed. Return any units exhibiting this annunciation to the factory for analysis. Proper Orientation of the SEL-8310 The SEL-8310 is equipped with an integral dipole antenna. To achieve optimal range with SEL-8300 units mounted below grade, hold the SEL-8310 so that the antenna is on a parallel plane to the antenna of the SEL-8300, refer to Figure 3.15. If the SEL-8300 or its remote antenna is mounted properly, the SEL-8310 should be oriented vertically with the antenna pointing toward the sky. Because of the antenna radiation pattern, never point the SEL-8310 directly at a manhole or directly toward the location of the SEL-8300. Doing so will dramatically reduce the range of the radio system and result in poor performance. Figure 3.15 Correct and Incorrect Positioning of the Remote Fault Reader Scanning for and Retrieving Data from SEL-8300 Units The {Scan} and {Next} buttons are located near the bottom of the SEL-8310. After the unit is turned on and has successfully completed POST and memory tests, press the {Scan} button to initiate a scan for SEL-8300 units within range. The Scan Initiate annunciation, accompanied by pulsing yellow WIRELESS INTERFACE ID LEDs, indicates the scan sequence has begun. RADIORANGER Instruction Manual Date Code 20070301 SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader Operation Operation 3.11 When a scan is initiated, the SEL-8310 clears any previously acquired data. If the {Scan} button is pressed while a scan is in progress, the SEL-8310 aborts the current scan and clears all acquired data. The SEL-8310 tests the battery voltage at the start of each scan and updates the POWER LED as required. The scan sequence ends when one of the following occurs: ➤ A valid response is received for all eight wireless interface IDs. ➤ The {Scan} button is pressed, which cancels the current scan and begins another. ➤ 15.2 seconds pass after the first valid response from an SEL-8300. ➤ The SEL-8310 enters the HMI Adjust Mode. ➤ 15 minutes pass after the {Scan} button is pressed and no valid responses have been received. After a scan is complete, the number of SEL-8300 units within range is depicted on the SEL-8310 in the Wireless Interface ID section. The first valid SEL-8300 identified with at least one tripped FCI flashes yellow and its FCI status is depicted in the Fault Indication section of the SEL-8310. Use the {Next} button to cycle through and display the status of all SEL-8300 units within range, and their connected FCIs. Unless multiple SEL-8300 units are installed within a 150-foot range, a user will probably only receive valid communications with one Wireless Interface per scan. In vault-dense areas or installations that require multiple SEL-8300 units, a user may be able to communicate with multiple SEL-8300 units, provided that the ID setting for each Wireless Interface is not identical. If multiple SEL-8300 units with the same ID setting are communicating to an SEL-8310, the SEL-8310 will display a collision notification (see LED Legend—Wireless Interface ID Section). To differentiate between two SEL-8300 units in this situation, users should move closer to the intended vault and/or orient themselves between the SEL-8310 and the adjacent vault to exit the range of, or block the signal of, the adjacent SEL-8300. If two SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader units are used in the same proximity, do not scan both units simultaneously or the communications channel may become unstable. In this situation, neither Remote Fault Reader may be able to properly communicate with SEL-8300 units within range. However, two Remote Fault Readers can be used simultaneously within the same range if the units are in Single Frequency Operation Mode and are not operating at the same frequency. Please see DIP Switch Settings on page 3.2 for more information on how to enable this mode.

All FCIs connected to that SEL-8300 are in the reset (unfaulted) position. Yellow (flashing) LED = The SEL-8300 (corresponding to the ID) is being represented in the Fault Indication section of the SEL-8310. Red (solid) LED = Valid communication with an SEL-8300 set to the corresponding ID. At least one FCI connected to that SEL-8300 is in the tripped (faulted) position. Yellow/Red (toggling) LED = At least two SEL-8300 units are within range and are set to the same ID. The status of two SEL-8300 units will be displayed in this situation one when the yellow LED is flashing and the other when the red LED is flashing. The Interface and Fault Indication LEDs will display the corresponding SEL-8300 data accordingly.

Each FCI will send either a Trip (faulted) or Reset (unfaulted) signal to the SEL-8300 through this magnetic probe interface. The SEL-8300 communicates the FCI data to the SEL-8310 via 900 MHz radio. The SEL-8310 then displays FCI status information under the Fault Indication section. A red LED indicates a tripped FCI, whereas a green LED indicates a reset FCI. By providing both tripped and reset indications, the RADIORANGER system allows the user to retrieve the status of the FCIs beyond the fault to validate the fault location. Low Power Mode To preserve the battery, the SEL-8310 will enter Low Power Mode one minute after scan termination or one minute after the last {Next} button press, whichever occurs later. When the SEL-8310 enters Low Power Mode, all address and FCI Status LEDs turn off. The POWER LED will emit short pulses, 2.25 seconds apart, in the color in which the POWER LED was illuminated prior to entering Low Power Mode. While the SEL-8310 is in Low Power Mode, pressing either the {Scan} or the {Next} button returns the device to the normal mode and displays the same data that was displayed prior to entering Low Power Mode. All the data received from the last scan is still available via the {Next} button. The SEL-8310 will reenter Low Power Mode one minute after Low Power Mode termination or one minute after the last {Next} button press, whichever occurs later. HMI Adjust Mode Adjust the SEL-8310 volume and brightness to accommodate user and situational preference. Pressing and holding both the {Scan} and {Next} buttons simultaneously for one second places the SEL-8310 in the HMI Adjust Mode. In this mode, the FAULT INDICATION LEDs are turned off. The WIRELESS INTERFACE ID LEDs will now Date Code 20070301 RADIORANGER Instruction Manual 3.14 SEL-8310 Remote Fault Reader Operation Operation correspond to speaker volume and LED intensity. The SEL-8310 will exit the HMI Adjust Mode five seconds after the last button press or after pressing and holding both the {Scan} and {Next} buttons simultaneously for one second. Following HMI Adjust Mode termination, the SEL-8310 reenters Normal Mode. The same data displayed prior to entering HMI Adjust Mode will be available. While the device is in the HMI Adjust Mode, the {Scan} button cycles through the four possible volume levels. The volume level is represented by solid yellow WIRELESS INTERFACE ID LEDs in a bar chart style from left to right. A single LED bar represents no volume; four LED bars represent maximum volume, which is the default. Each {Scan} button press selects the next highest volume level until it reaches the maximum volume level. At that point, pressing the {Scan} button again takes the unit back to the lowest volume level. When the SEL-8310 exits the HMI Adjust Mode, any adjustments made to the volume level are updated in the Flash memory and are active when the Normal Mode resumes. While the device is in the HMI Adjust Mode, the {Next} button cycles through three possible LED brightness levels. The solid yellow LEDs that represent the volume level also adjust their brightness in response to presses of the {Next} button. Each {Next} button press selects the next highest brightness level until the maximum level is reached. At that point, pressing the {Next} button again selects the lowest brightness level. When the device exits the HMI Adjust Mode, any adjustments made to the brightness level are updated in the Flash memory and are active when the Normal Mode resumes.
