Testing Philosophy
SEL-3022 testing can be divided into three categories: acceptance, commissioning, and
maintenance testing. The categories are differentiated both by when they take place in
the life cycle of the transceiver and by test complexity. The paragraphs below describe
when you should perform each type of test, the goals of testing at that time, and the
functions that you need to test at each point.
This information is intended as a guideline for testing an SEL-3022.
Acceptance Testing
Perform acceptance testing when qualifying an SEL-3022 for use in a serial
communication system that requires data encryption.
Goals of Acceptance Testing

What to Test
Acceptance test all setting parameters critical to your intended application.
SEL performs detailed acceptance testing on all SEL-3022 models and versions. Any
SEL-3022 we ship meets published specifications. It is important for you to perform
acceptance testing on an SEL-3022 if you are unfamiliar with SEL-3022 operating
theory or settings. Such testing helps you ensure that SEL-3022 settings are correct for
your application.
Commissioning Testing
Perform commissioning testing when installing a new SEL-3022 Serial Encrypting
Transceiver.
