    -Remote fault messaging over 4G private, or public mobile networks, with dropback to 3G or 2G. 3.0 OPERATION The MK10 must be mounted in the vertical plain with the instrument body at right angles to the conductors. It is most convenient to strap it to the wood pole at eye level, which makes it approximately five metres below the conductors.

  • Page 3: Field Setup

    RED Flag is time RESET. To do a manual RESET switch the unit ‘OFF’ , this will not return the disc to BLACK. Switch the MK10 ‘ON’ to do a battery test, and when the disc returns to ‘BLACK’ turn it ‘OFF’ The indicator is now RESET.
  • Page 4 This will take you to the product selection page. You can now chose the Comms product that you wish to setup. In this instance it is the MK10 to a mobile telephone, so select by putting a dot in the circle, and then submit.
  • Page 5 You can also select whether to have a ‘Status’ message sent from the MK10 and at what frequency, but unless it is likely to be left out for an extended period this should not be necessary. When complete push ‘SEND’. It is recommended that no location is entered for the MK10 because being a portable instrument this will change each time it is used.
  • Page 6 3. A hard ABS case can be purchased with the MK10 to carry a set of three instruments. This makes it more secure and less likely to be turned ON by mistake.
  • Page 7 If an earth fault occurs on one conductor it has a strong effect on the electro-magnetic field which can be detected by the MK10 fault passage indicator. If a phase to phase fault occurs the fault current values may be higher, but the electro-magnetic influence is less than for an earth fault.

  • Page 8: Fault Finding

    MK10 - 4G When the fault occurs PMAR 2 trips. The MK10 at C flags. The instruments at A and B do not trip. We know that the fault lies between the MK10 at C and the Normally Open Point (NOP).

  • Page 9: Power Supply

    Trying to locate a fault due to a cracked insulator can be very difficult. The MK10’s can be re-deployed down the main line a few poles apart to divide the network up into the smallest sections. Pole Mounted Recloser 1.

  • Page 10: Specification

    THIS WILL RESULT IN THE COMMS TRYING TO REGISTER TO THE MOBILE NETWORK, NOT BEING ABLE TO, AND AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS WILL FLATTEN THE BATTERY. ALWAYS KEEP THE MK10 TURNED OFF WHEN NOT IN ACTIVE USE ON THE NETWORK. INSERT A SIM CARD WHEN THE INSTRUMENT IS FIRST RECEIVED, AND COMMISSION IT TO YOUR PREFERRED MOBILE.
