Significantly improve safety, prevent injuries, and reduce liability exposure by applying SEL products and services. Do more with remote communication to avoid entering hazardous areas, controlling traffic, and suiting up in special protective clothing.

 

• Use SEL-3022 Wireless Encrypting Transceivers with your wireless laptop PC to remotely access systems, controllers, or relays.
• Apply the RadioRANGER™ Wireless Fault Indication System to reduce the need to enter underground vaults.
• Use I/O points on your relays, programmable automation controllers, and I/O modules to sense and calculate information that system or plant operators can use to help prevent accidents. Connect to devices that detect flammable or other unsafe gas, arc flashes, water level in underground vaults, and more.
• Monitor the status of relay alarm contacts or other relay diagnostic data, and notify operators of safety hazards caused by having protection out of service.
• Test relays or other devices using test connections that do not have any exposed, energized metal. Use SEL Connectorized® relays with test harnesses or SEL-4600 Series Test Blocks and Plugs.
• Use SEL eye-safe, Class 1 fiber-optic communications to prevent the instrumentation and control system from introducing hazards and to reduce costs.
• Work with SEL engineers for studies to identify and categorize arc-flash hazards and determine options to reduce injuries due to arc flashes.
• Apply reliable SEL components to minimize the time service personnel spend traveling and working in hazardous locations.
• Communicate directly with personnel using portable electronics and remote warning indicators at the entrance to hazardous locations. Apply the SEL-3010 Event Messenger to call appropriate personnel.
