SEL-4388 Mirrored Bits Tester

Product catalog summary
Overview
The SEL-4388 Mirrored Bits Tester is designed to enhance the safety, reliability, and economy of electric power systems by facilitating the testing of SEL Mirrored Bits communications links. It reduces commissioning and repair time by allowing quick testing and verification of communication circuits.

Key Features
  • Time Efficiency: Automatically detects and displays SEL Mirrored Bits information, addresses, and data rates, allowing for quick identification of cable usage.
  • Verification: Streamlines commissioning by verifying Mirrored Bits implementation and communication circuits.
  • Portability: Powered by two AAA batteries or an external power jack, making it portable and easy to use in various locations.

Technical Specifications
  • Power Supply: Internal power from two AAA batteries or external power ranging from 4 to 18 Vdc with a burden of less than 120 mW. An optional 5 V external supply is available.
  • Serial Data Port: EIA-232 interface with a 9-pin male DCE connector supporting data rates from 2.4 to 38.4 kbps.
  • Human-Machine Interface: Includes LEDs for RMB and TMB, a Received Okay (ROK) indicator, pushbuttons for TMB, and an LCD for displaying RX ID, TX ID, and data rate.
  • Environmental Conditions: Operates in temperatures from 0° to +45°C and relative humidity from 5 to 95% noncondensing.

Included Accessories
  • One EIA-232 extension cable
  • Two AAA batteries

Application and Usage
The SEL-4388 can be connected to a serial cable or fiber-optic transceiver linked to an SEL relay or processor Mirrored Bits communications port. It verifies addressing and communication parameters via the LCD display and allows observation of transmitted and received bits through LEDs. Test bits can be transmitted using the pushbuttons on the device.
