Lodestar Lightbox
Description
Solution for Remote Monitoring
The communication unit Lightbox is a reliable pole-mountable solution that works together with conductor-mounted Fault Indicators Lodestar. It provides detailed information about fault events and the actual state of distribution overhead lines.
Lightbox is an effective tool for transmission of the data to Fault Management System KOMORSAN and/or to Customer’s SCADA (via KOMORSAN and by IEC104 protocol).
Benefits:
• Minimal weight and size.
• Easy mounting. Simple to position and connect without de-energizing the line.
• Simple configuration.
• No need for external power sources.
• Additional indication about the fault via blinker.
