Safety Information
This manual uses three kinds of hazard statements, formatted as follows:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury or equipment damage.
!
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
!
WARNING
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
!
DANGER
SEL-3031 Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers
The following hazard statements appear in the body of this manual in English. See the
following table for the English and French translation of these statements.
English French
Although the power level is low, concentrated
energy from a directional antenna may pose a
health hazard. Do not allow users to come
closer than 23 cm (9 in) to the antenna when
the transmitter is operating in indoor or
outdoor environments in the 900-MHz band.
!
CAUTION
Bien que le niveau de puissance soit bas,
l'énergie concentrée d'une antenne
directionnelle peut être un danger pour la
santé. Ne pas autoriser les usagers à
s'approcher à moins de 23 cm (9 po) de
l'antenne quand l'émetteur est en opération
dans un environnement intérieur ou
extérieur dans la bande des 900-MHz.
!
ATTENTION
The radio contains devices sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Undetectable
permanent damage can result if you do not use
proper ESD procedures. Ground yourself, your
work surface, and this equipment before
removing any cover from this equipment. If
your facility is not equipped to work with these
components, contact SEL about returning this
device and related SEL equipment for service.
!
CAUTION
La radio contient des circuits sensibles aux
décharges électrostatiques (DES). Des
dommages permanents non-décelables
peuvent résulter de l’absence de précautions
contre les DES. Raccordez-vous
correctement à la terre, ainsi que la surface
de travail et l’appareil avant d’en retirer un
panneau. Si vous n’êtes pas équipés pour
travailler avec ce type de composants,
contacter SEL afin de retourner l’appareil
pour un service en usine.
!
ATTENTION

Operator safety may be impaired if the device is
used in a manner not specified by SEL.
!
WARNING
La sécurité de l’opérateur peut être
compromise si l’appareil est utilisé d’une
façon non indiquée par SEL.
!
AVERTISSEMENT
Atmospheric electrical charge accumulation
can cause potential between the conductor and
shield of the feedline, or cause lightning to
strike an antenna. A lightning protector should
be installed to prevent damage to equipment or
injury to personnel.
!
WARNING
L'accumulation de charges électriques de
type atmosphérique peut être la cause d'une
différence de potentiel entre le conducteur
et le blindage de la ligne d'alimentation ou
peut attirer la foudre sur l'antenne. Un
parafoudre devrait être installé pour
prévenir les dommages à l'équipement ou
les blessures au personnel.
!
AVERTISSEMENT
Do not look into the fiber (laser)
ports/connectors.
!
WARNING
Ne pas regarder vers l’extremité des ports ou
connecteurs de fibres pour laser.
!
AVERTISSEMENT
Do not look into the end of an optical cable
connected to an optical output.
!
WARNING
Ne pas regarder vers l’extrémité d’un câble
optique raccordé à une sortie optique.
!
AVERTISSEMENT
This device is shipped with default passwords.
Default passwords should be changed to private
passwords at installation. Failure to change
each default password to a private password
may allow unauthorized access. SEL shall not
be responsible for any damage resulting from
unauthorized access.
!
WARNING
Cet appareil est expédié avec des mots de
passe par défaut. A l’installation, les mots de
passe par défaut devront être changés pour
des mots de passe confidentiels. Dans le cas
contraire, un accés non-autorisé á
l’équipement peut être possible. SEL décline
toute responsabilité pour tout dommage
résultant de cet accés non-autorisé.
!
AVERTISSEMENT
Disconnect or de-energize all external
connections before opening this device.
Contact with hazardous voltages and currents
inside this device can cause electrical shock
resulting in injury or death.
!
DANGER
Débrancher tous les raccordements externes
avant d’ouvrir cet appareil. Tout contact avec
des tensions ou courants internes à l’appareil
peut causer un choc électrique pouvant
entraîner des blessures ou la mort.

Section 1
Introduction and Overview
Overview
The SEL-3031 is a 900-MHz, license-free, spread-spectrum radio. The radio operates
in the ITU Region 2 ISM band of 902–928 MHz using a fast frequency-hopping
algorithm for noise immunity and long-distance operation.
The SEL-3031 prevents the need for multiple sets of radios or expensive dedicated
fiber transmitting over long distances. Figure 1.1 shows the flexibility of the SEL-3031
in providing DNP3 SCADA information, MIRRORED BITS®control for reclosing
coordination, and engineering access to the SEL-651R Recloser Control.

Features, Benefits, and Applications
➤Three Ports in One Radio Reduce Costs. Simultaneously
communicates with up to three independent ports and protocols.
➤Low Latency Enables Fast Control. Transfers control commands
with a typical 5.5-millisecond latency with SEL MIRRORED BITS®
communications.
➤Strong Security Thwarts Attackers. Protects critical data and repels
malicious attacks with optional encryption card, using session
authentication and strong 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) technology.
➤Tough Radio Operates in Extreme Conditions. Is designed, built,
and tested for trouble-free operation in extreme temperature,
electromagnetic interference, shock, and vibration conditions.
➤No Licensing Reduces Delays and Expenses. Uses the license-free,
900-MHz ISM band for on-time, on-budget projects.
➤Mounting Options Simply Installation. Order your SEL-3031 in
one of three different packages: rack-mount, wall-mount, and NEMA
3R prewired radio solution.
➤Multiple Protocols Satisfy Interconnection Requirements.
Communicate with industry-standardized byte-oriented protocols,
such as DNP3, Modbus®, SEL MIRRORED BITS communications,
IEEE C37.118 Synchrophasors, SEL Fast Messaging, and SEL
ASCII.
➤Flexible Serial Port Options Match Integration Needs. Order
serial Port 1 as EIA-232, EIA-485, or optical fiber to easily connect
to your existing devices.
➤Simple Settings Streamline Radio Commissioning. Use
ACSELERATOR QuickSet®SEL-5030 Software for all settings.
➤USB Management Port Conveniently Connects to PC. Make
settings changes, verify status information for proper installation, and
verify radio performance without affecting the three serial channels.
