Abstract

This project is about cable theft monitoring system using GSM modem (CTMS) using programmable interface controller (PIC) microcontroller system, voltage divider, temperature sensor and several other devices. The main problem is cable theft activity is always happen although lot of methods have been developed by Telekom Malaysia to solve and reduce cable case theft such as cable theft prevention campaigns at the national level among the community, organizing security patrols, wiping grease on telecom poles, replacing existing cable with fiber cables and I-Watch System installation. The objective of this project is to design and develop a cable theft monitoring system using GSM Modem (CTMS). It is a low cost system. The output of this system can be divided into two parts which are display mode and message mode. For display mode, liquid crystal display (LCD) is used to display the percentages of voltage and circuit temperature. For message mode, the microcontroller activate the GSM module and GSM send alarm messages when the cable is cut and send back messages when the cable is in normal condition. For the temperature changes, temperature sensor is function when the circuit box temperature is more than 40ºC and GSM also send alarm messages. The microcontroller is operating when sensor detects the voltage drop on cable from two roads either Jln Bendahara-Jln Teluk Piah Kanan or Jln Tgh Masjid- Jln Tebuk Sri Makmur. The two roads are referring to the either one road that the occurrence of cable theft or both of the road. The percentages of voltage drop and temperature changes is displayed on the LCD display. Advantages of this project are low cost, easy to manage and can reduce cable theft cases.
