Warning sphere is used for warning aircraft pilots in
daytime and nighttime, which is compliant with International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) recommendations annex 14 chapter 6. It can be used in
overhead cable, guyed wire, especially in extra high voltage power transmission
line, cross river power transmission line, cross road, bridge power
transmission line and so on. It is made of high-grade polyethylene with the
color of red, orange, white. Different colors' warning sphere should be
displayed alternately. If there are many lines, warning sphere should be
displayed on the highest line. It can resistant to corrosion, rust, water,
dust, high temperature, can be used for long time.

Features of warning sphere
Resistant to corrosion, rust, water, dust, high
temperature.
Not have metal annex, good integrity, high strength.
Light, not have influence for power line.
Self thickness, smooth appearance, fresh color.
Properties do not change under various complex
environment, such as rain, snow, ice, oil and so on.
Warning sphere can suit power line conductor which
diameter is between 6 mm and 26.5 mm.
Optional preformed armor rods for fixing warning sphere
on power line.
Reflective tape can make pilots see power line clearly.
Easy to install.
Long service life.
Application of warning sphere
Our polyethylene warning spheres are used in overhead cable,
guyed wire, supporting tower, especially in super high voltage power
transmission line, cross river power transmission line, cross road, bridge
power transmission line and so on.
Installation: Five steps for warning sphere installation.
1.
The warning sphere has two slots. Upper
slot facing sky is used for fixing the preformed armor rods. Lower slot facing
ground is used for attaching the conductor. (300 mm diameter warning sphere as
example)
2. Apply part of armor rods to conductor, make
sure wrapping armor rods with the same direction as conductor twisted.
3. Place
the warning sphere on the conductor, then apply armor rods on the upper slot
4. Wrap the rest of armor rods to conductor.
5. Warning sphere is installed on conductor.
Warning sphere installation note
The spacing between two consecutive warning spheres or
between a warning sphere and a supporting tower should be appropriate to the
diameter of the warning sphere. The maximum spacing is 30 m with sphere's
diameter is 600 mm.
If multiple wires or cables are involved, warning
sphere should be located in the highest wire.
When installed, different colors' warning spheres
should be displayed alternately. The color selected should contrast with the
background to ensure marker balls will be seen clearly.
Warning spheres should alternate aviation orange,
white, yellow, with aviation orange markers positioned at each end.
If less than four markers are on the line, all markers
should be aviation orange.
