Transmission Line Conductor Monitor
The Lindsey Systems TLM is a transmission line conductor monitor for lines through 765 kV, used for dynamic line rating and clearance compliance, sold and supported in Texas and Oklahoma by Ryan Sales.
- Live-line installable through 765 kV
- LiDAR clearance-to-ground
- conductor temperature, current, inclination/sag, vibration
- self-powered
- Iridium satellite communications
Overview
The TLM conductor monitor clamps onto energized transmission conductors through 765 kV and directly measures clearance-to-ground via LiDAR along with conductor temperature, inclination/sag, current, and vibration. It is self-powered and corona-free, communicating over the Iridium satellite network so no field RTUs or communications infrastructure are required. TLM data feeds the SMARTLINE platform for dynamic line rating.

What does the Lindsey Systems TLM transmission line conductor monitor measure?
The TLM directly measures clearance-to-ground using LiDAR, along with conductor temperature, inclination/sag, current and vibration. It clamps onto energized transmission conductors through 765 kV, and its data feeds the SMARTLINE platform for dynamic line rating, clearance compliance, conductor health and congestion relief.
Does the TLM conductor monitor need field RTUs or a communications network?
No. The TLM is self-powered and communicates over the Iridium satellite network, so no field RTUs or communications infrastructure are required. It is corona-free and can be installed live-line on transmission conductors through 765 kV.
