Installation procedures 

Figure 7. Smart Sensor LED designations.

Installation of smart sensor – overhead 
application

Install the sensor a minimum of ten (10) feet away from any
structure on the conductor, including any poles.

1.

Arm the FCI clamping mechanism by carefully grasping 
both clamping arms, pulling them apart until the trigger 
mechanism drops into place. Stops have been built into 
the clamping arms such that they can only be opened to 
the point where the trigger will latch (Figure 5 on page 7).

2.

For applications where the cable diameter is less than 
1 inch, leave the clamp pads attached to the clamp arms. 
On installations where the cable diameter exceeds 
1 inch, remove the pads that are attached to each 
clamping arm. Removing the pads will allow the clamping 
mechanism to properly attach to larger diameter cables 
(Figure 4 on page 7, Figure 6 on page 7).

3.

Attach the sensor to a hotstick using the pulling eye.

4.

Push the sensor onto the cable conductor. Ensure that 
the CT is around the conductor and good contact is made 
between the ends of the CT. The triggering mechanism 
will release the clamping arms from the latched position, 
to securely attach the device to the cable.

Sensor display operation 

The GridAdvisor Series II smart sensor has two multicolor 
light emitting diodes (LEDs) used for annunciating functional 
tasks and the status of the smart sensor. Each LED will be 
referred to as Source and Load LED in the context of the 
labels found on sensor per Figure 7. 

Note:

The fault LEDs can be disabled in the sensor 
configuration.

Device activation

The LEDs provided on the GridAdvisor Series II smart sensor 
provide annunciation during the activation process of the 
sensor onto the cellular or Bluetooth SCADA network at time 
the battery is installed; see Table 2 and Table 3.

LED installation indication 

The LEDs provided on the GridAdvisor Series II smart sensor 
provide annunciation during the installation of device to verify 
proper load current is present. 

Programming sensor

Refer to the 

GridAdvisor Series II Smart Sensor ProView NXG 

software programming manual (MN915003EN)

for 

instructions on connecting to the sensor with the Bluetooth
