WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE statements are used throughout this manual to emphasize important and critical information to help you ensure safety and prevent product damage. These statements are defined below. Warning, Cautions, and Notes Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious physical injury hazard Indicates a situation, which, if not avoided, could result in damage to equipment, damage to software, loss of data or invalid results. NOTE Indicates important supplemental information. The equipment will begin communicating once it powers up. This will expose people nearby to RF energy, however an analysis of the power levels finds that the levels are safe per FCC and Health Canada recommendations. Users are advised to maintain a distance of 20 cm or more from the pole sensor or conductor sensor to minimize exposure levels.

They gather data about power conductor and utility pole temperature, position, and status. Conductor Sensors send data via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to a pole sensor, and the Pole Sensors collect and transmit all data via RF in the 450-470 MHz range to the Aclara Data Collector Unit (DCU) network. The DCUs send data and alarms to the headend server via a cellular, fiber, or ethernet backhaul, and the data is presented in AclaraONE for monitoring. Conductor Sensors detect and monitor fault current and conductor drop/fall, and they communicate via BLE to the Pole Sensor with which they are paired during configuration. Conductor BLE health messages are sent every five seconds, and alarms are immediately sent for conditions such as:
Drops Broken and fallen lines Fault currents beyond configurable ranges The Pole Sensor gathers status messages and alarms from up to six Conductor Sensors on adjacent lines paired to it during configuration. It also detects temperature, pole impact, pole movement, or tilt, and can be used with or without Conductor Sensors. It communicates daily via STAR RF to DCUs its own health status along with that of any Conductor Sensors. The Pole Sensor sends alarms immediately for any changes beyond configurable limits within four custom tilt zones for conditions such as:
Over temperature (pole fire) Tilts Falls Alarms received from Conductor Sensors It uses BLE for Conductor Sensor messaging during normal operation, as well as communication with the Aclara Mobile Programmer for initial configuration.

Follow your companys guidelines when performing this installation.Wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves, eye protection, etc. Follow all applicable safety guidelines. 1. Install the sensor at least 40 from power lines. The serrated angled surfaces of the bracket will be the back of the bracket and will be installed in contact with the pole, and the plate with the screw holes will be the front. Top View Pole Cable Tie Bracket Pole Sensor 2. Insert the end of the stainless steel cable tie from the back through one slot in the bracket and then back through the second slot. 3. Wrap the cable tie around the pole, positioning the bracket on the side of the pole opposite guy wires. Insert the free end of the cable tie through the locking head end and pull hand tight. 4. Insert the end of the tie into the cable tie tool and tighten. Insert the free end of the cable tie into the cutting slot of the tool and trim, taking care to catch the off-cut to prevent it falling and causing injury. 5. Place the Pole Sensor against the face of the bracket with the label upright and align the screw holes with the matching holes in the bracket. Insert screws and tighten with a cordless drill and a 1/4 hex bit. 20 A c l a r a G u a r d i a n P o l e a n d C o n d u c t o r S e n s o r U s e r G u i d e C o n f i d e n t i a l a n d P r o p r i e t a r y I n f o r m a t i o n Conductor Sensor Installation (Optional) Chapter 4 Installation & Configuration Use the following procedure for installing a pole sensor. Follow your companys guidelines when performing this installation.Wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves, eye protection, etc. Follow all applicable safety guidelines. 1. If conductor sensors are being used on the pole, open the sensor completely by turning the eye bolt counterclockwise until there is resistance to turning it. Attach the eye bolt of the sensor to end of the "shotgun" type hot stick. Once secured, position the unit so that the conductor seats into the canal of the unit with the eye bolt pointing straight down such that the LEDs can be seen from the ground. Turn the eye bolt clockwise to close the unit. You may feel vibration as it closes on lines with high current. Torque the eye bolt to 3.5 to 4.0 ft-lbs. 2. Install any other Conductor Sensors paired with the Pole Sensor in the same manner. 1. The Post Install Conductor Sensor(s) Config screen will display. There will be 1 of these screens for every Conductor Sensor installed. 2. Select the Phase and Source or Load for each conductor, and enter the Fault Current Setting. 3. Tap the Get Initial Pole Lean button to gather the angle. 4. Pole Sensor Azimuth in Degrees is the angle of direction of the lean. As when determining the angles of the conductors, put your back to the pole on the side it leans toward, and tap the Compass icon to collect the angle. 5. Enter the Pole Sensor Height in feet.
