Fault passage indication
The detection of overhead line faults is based on a re-packaged Pathfinder MK8, which has proved so successful in locating hard to find permanent faults, or persistent transient faults on 11 and 33KV overhead line applications. The new Pathfinder MK10 – GSM will be mounted in a similar way, at ground level, although a more secure alternative is offered to protect against theft. As with previous models of Pathfinder, the instrument should be located on a clean, unearthed, intermediate pole, and clear from other influences that might effect the magnetic field around the vicinity of the pole. The sensitivity can be selected according to the fault level (Sensitivity High for fault levels up to 150MVA, and Low for fault levels above 150MVA.) When the unit is turned on, a self test is carried out to prove the battery level, and logic circuit.

Communications
GSM – Communication Once a SIM card is inserted into Pathfinder MK10 – GSM it can be set up and commissioned via a dedicated web-page on the internet. The Identity of the unit, the receiving telephone number, and the functions of the alarm can be programmed, and the message sent to prove the set up. Pathfinder MK10-GSM uses the SMS text messaging service provided by any server. As soon as a fault is detected, the alarm is sent to either the engineer’s mobile telephone, or P.C. (for which software is provided) where it is logged with date and timestamp. Battery voltage is also monitored, and an anti-tamper alarm is also provided. Anti-tamper alarm is available if the instrument is removed from the pole. An intermittent fault downstream of a pole mounted recloser can be identified immediately, with great benefits in timesaving
