Detection
Sky Radio 2
Sky Radio 2 is an operational aid system for the remote detection of medium and high voltage overhead electric lines. Every SkyRadio equipment is equipped with 1 to 9 independent sensors to detect High-Voltage lines. Each sensor is mounted on a part of the mobile organ of the machine. To communicate with the calculating unit, each sensor has its own radio emitter/receptor, permanently connected. Radio communication is secured by scanning radio channels to detect and avoid possible disturbances.
Application
SKY RADIO is an operational aid which enables detection of the proximity of a high-voltage electric line in a FREE FIELD. SKY RADIO warns the user by an audible signal and a warning light when high lift equipment approaches a 15 kV medium-voltage line at a distance of less than three meters or a 50 kV (or higher) line at a distance of less than 5 meters. A remote module enables the user to receive a warning signal at a distance of up to 100 m.
Main Components
SKY RADIO comprises from 1 to 8 independent sensors for the detection of the electric field. Each sensor includes a radio transmitter/receiver module, which communicates continuously with the central processor unit (CP). The radio communication is held secure by scanning the radio channel to detect any interference. The CP has an antenna mounted on the vehicle roof and an internal clock to enable time-stamping of all the memorised information.
