1 Brief Introduction
1.1 Overview
Power line security camera (F-PLS) is used to monitor the overhead power line (including
transmission line and distribution line,tower and pole).F-PLS takes photo or short video
periodically or manually,prevent the power line from damaging by people,vehicle or some other
construction machines,such like theft the power line or equipment,wildfire,tower
crane,excavator,especially in the construction site or the road which power line across.
F-PLS is a special camera which integrate with solar panel and battery inside. it also has 2G/3G/4
G communication, GPS positioning, 433MHz access, image recognition, line temperature measure
ment, environmental monitoring, voice broadcast and other functions.
F-PLS is an important part of power line monitoring system. Adopting technologies of image acqu
isition, data calculation, remote control, it provides an intelligent and visible real-time status monit
oring solution for power line and power equipment.

2.1 Overview
The equipment must be installed correctly to achieve the designed function, usually the
equipment must be installed under the guidance of qualified engineers recognized by the company.
2.2 Package List
For a safe transportation, the equipment usually needs a reasonable packing. Please take good
care of the packaging materials when you unfold the box, so that it can be used in future
transportation.The unpacking list is as follows:
Table 5- Equipment List
2.3 Tower or Pole Installation
2.3.1 Tool
Adjustable spanner : 1 set
Slot type screwdriver: 1 set
2.3.2 Installation Angle and Height
Camera direction: should be installed horizontal or downward, but not upward
direction. Hidden area (such as construction site, accumulation, pond, fire, etc.) around
the line/tower should be in the center of the image.
Solar panel: solar panel should be installed at SBW 10 °, without shelter, mainly toward
the south.
Installation height: Camera installed at the lowest point of the wire sag is with the best

shooting Angle, as far as possible to install on high to prevent theft, try to apply the
cross-brace installation.
2.3.3 Installation Process
Pic :2 -1 Pic:2-2
Remove the package.then pull out the solar panel cable and fix it to panel side (hide it in
panel backside and fix it by plugging it to the panel edge), Finally, lock the No.1 and
No.2 screws.
Turn on the power switch and observe and check the red light, if it is blinking normally,
it means normal operation.
Preset the direction of solar panel and camera according to the shooting area and
suspension direction, and pre-install the device. Configure the WeChat account of
on-site debugging person and input related equipment on the platform. Then find the
line to be installed, and test the automatic take photo function.
Pic:2 -3 Pic:2-4
Hook the angle iron with two screw hooks and lock it with a screw head. As per photo
2-3.
After adjusting the solar panel and camera angle, tighten screws No.1,2,3 and 4.as per
photo 2-4.
Note:
Screw 1: adjust the horizontal angle of the solar panel
Screw 2: adjust the levelness of the camera
Screw 3: adjust the horizontal direction of the camera
Screw 4: adjust the vertical direction of the camera

3 Platform Software
3.1 Overview
The software and hardware of the platform shall be used together. After the installation of the
equipment, users can check the position, pictures, video, sensor data and other information on the
platform. Users shall ask for the account number and password from the service staff before
logging into the platform initially.
3.2 Add New Equipment
Step 1: Add power lines and tower poles (after adding tower pole, remember to add "monitor
point" information).
