    • Confirm line voltage level (0.4kV~220kV) and verify the warning light applicable voltage range.<\/li>
    • Measure conductor diameter (\u03a68mm~\u03a635mm) and confirm mounting bracket\/clamp specifications match.<\/li>
    • Confirm line load current to ensure it exceeds the warning light minimum startup current (typically \u22653A).<\/li>
    • Inspect installation location surroundings: prioritize accident-prone areas such as highway crossings, bridge crossings, and construction zones.<\/li>
    • Ensure the installation location is free of obstructions with adequate working space.<\/li>
    • Check weather forecast; strictly prohibit work during thunderstorms, strong winds (\u2265Beaufort Scale 6), or other severe weather conditions.<\/li><\/ul>

      1.4 Product Inspection<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>
      • Inspect warning light exterior for damage, cracks, or deformation.<\/li>
      • Check LED chips for integrity, no detachment or discoloration.<\/li>
      • Check induction power coil (CT) for open circuit or short circuit.<\/li>

          2.2 Method 1: Live-Line Installation via Insulated Aerial Work Platform (Recommended)<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>

          Step 1: Positioning: <\/strong>Park the insulated aerial work platform directly below the conductor at an appropriate position with outriggers firmly supported. Workers wearing insulating protective equipment enter the insulated bucket and raise to the conductor installation height.<\/p>

          Step 2: Mounting Bracket Fixation: <\/strong>Place the warning light mounting bracket (or clamp) over the conductor, using the insulating operating rod for auxiliary positioning. Ensure the bracket opening direction is correct and the conductor is centered in the bracket.<\/p>

          Step 3: Bolt Tightening: <\/strong>Use a torque wrench to gradually tighten mounting bolts in diagonal sequence according to product specifications (typically 15~25N\u00b7m). Ensure the bracket is in tight contact with the conductor with no looseness.<\/p>

          Step 4: Warning Light Unit Installation: <\/strong>Align the warning light unit with the mounting bracket slot or connection holes and push into place. Secure connection bolts with hex key wrench and confirm correct light orientation (LED face downward or toward warning direction).<\/p>

          Step 5: Induction Power Coil Installation: <\/strong>Place the current transformer (CT) over the conductor, ensuring the conductor passes through the center hole of the CT. Secure the CT housing and check for good contact between the coil and conductor.<\/p>

          Step 6: Inspection and Testing: <\/strong>Confirm all connections are secure with no looseness or detachment. Cover the photosensitive sensor with hand to simulate nighttime environment and observe whether the LED flashes normally.<\/p>

          Step 7: Withdrawal: <\/strong>Clean up the work site and recover tools. Workers slowly lower the insulated bucket and withdraw to a safe area.<\/p>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          2.3 Method 2: UAV-Assisted Live-Line Installation<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>

          Step 1: UAV Preparation: <\/strong>Select an industrial-grade UAV with payload capacity \u22655kg and install a dedicated mounting device. Pre-assemble the warning light unit with the mounting bracket to ensure structural integrity.<\/p>

          Step 2: Flight Positioning: <\/strong>Control the UAV to slowly ascend to the conductor installation position, maintaining a safe distance \u22653m from energized conductors. Adjust UAV position so the warning light aligns with the target conductor.<\/p>

          Step 3: Hanging Operation: <\/strong>Use the UAV mounting device’s robotic arm or clasp mechanism to hang the warning light onto the conductor. Some products use a safety hanging strap design where the strap loops over the conductor and connects to the light body for fixation.<\/p>

          Step 4: Locking Confirmation: <\/strong>Observe via UAV camera to confirm the mounting bracket is locked and the warning light is stable without swaying. If equipped with an electric locking mechanism, remotely control the locking operation.<\/p>

          Step 5: Return and Inspection: <\/strong>The UAV slowly withdraws and hovers at a safe distance to observe the warning light installation status. Return and land after confirmation.<\/p>

          Step 6: Ground Verification: <\/strong>Observe whether the warning light flashes normally at night to confirm successful installation.<\/p>

          [UAV Installation Advantages] Suitable for complex terrain areas inaccessible by insulated aerial work platforms (such as mountainous regions or above rivers). Lines below 40 meters can be completed within 2 minutes, significantly improving operational efficiency, reducing labor and material costs, and effectively reducing transmission line tripping rates.<\/em><\/p>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          2.4 Method 3: Insulating Operating Rod Installation (For Lower Voltage Levels)<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>

          Step 1: Pole Positioning: <\/strong>Workers climb the pole to the conductor cross-arm position and secure the safety harness to the pole.<\/p>

          Step 2: Pre-Assembly: <\/strong>Pre-assemble the warning light with the mounting bracket on the ground and hoist it to the pole using an insulating rope.<\/p>

          Step 3: Hanging and Fixation: <\/strong>Use the insulating operating rod to hang the mounting bracket onto the conductor and tighten the fixing bolts through the rod’s rotation mechanism.<\/p>

          Step 4: Inspection Confirmation: <\/strong>Visually inspect installation firmness and confirm correct warning light orientation.<\/p>

          Chapter 3 Post-Installation Inspection and Testing<\/b><\/strong><\/h1>

          3.1 Mechanical Inspection<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>
          • Check that the mounting bracket\/clamp is in tight contact with the conductor with no looseness or sliding.<\/li>

          • Check that the warning light unit is not tilted or swaying and the installation orientation is correct.<\/li>
          • Check that the induction power coil (CT) is concentric with the conductor without misalignment.<\/li>
          • Check that the safety hanging strap (if applicable) is securely connected without wear or breakage.<\/li><\/ul>

            3.2 Electrical Testing<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>
            • Confirm line load current \u2265 warning light minimum startup current (typically 3A~5A).<\/li>
            • Use multimeter to measure induction coil output voltage and confirm it is within normal range.<\/li>
            • Cover the photosensitive sensor with hand and observe whether the LED flashes normally.<\/li>
            • Remove the cover and observe whether the LED turns off in daytime environment.<\/li>
            • Observe LED flashing frequency and brightness at night to verify visible distance meets requirements.<\/li>
