1. Introduction
1.1. Product Description
Power line security system (F-PLS) is an important part of power facilities on-line
monitoring system. The device provides a set of intelligent and visual real-time
monitoring scheme for power facilities by using image acquisition, data resolution,
remote control and other technologies.
F-PLS has a high performance 64-bit processor, based on Android operating
system, with 2G/3G/4G communication, GPS positioning, 433MHz access, image
recognition, wire temperature measurement, environmental monitoring, voice broadcast
and other functions. It is the best choice for online monitoring in the power industry.
The product has been widely used in the field of transmission, substation and
distribution monitoring, especially in the areas near the line corridor which is prone to
illegal activities such as pole-climbing theft, ultra-high operation, sand excavation,
mountain blasting, cofferdam digging ponds, burning, and natural disasters such as
snow ice, rainstorm, landslides and so on.
Following picture shows the typical application :

2.3.2. Main unit Installation
Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6
Installation steps:
1) As shown in Figure 4, pull out and fix the cable of solar panel to the back of the panel and
the edge of the frame, and pre-lock the screws 1 and 2
2) Pre-adjust the direction of solar panel and main unit according to the direction of power
line.
3) Use your phone or PC to configure the device parameters. (Refer to 3.1)
4) As shown in Figure 5, hook the iron with two screw hooks and lock the screws 1 and 2
5) As shown in Figure 6, adjust the solar panel angle and camera angle, and lock the screws
1, 2, 3 and 4.
Note:
1) Camera direction: horizontal or downward, it is forbidden to face up. and the potential
danger area around the line / tower (such as construction site, sediment, pool, fire, etc.) shall
be in the center of the image.
2) Solar panel direction: 10 ° south by west of solar panel, mainly facing south under the
premise of avoiding blocking.
3) Installation height: the lowest point of conductor sag is the best photo angle, try to install it
at a high place to prevent theft, and try to select the cross brace for installation.
