thereby providing the greatest sensitivity. Cable conditioning requires two people
to complete and typically takes less than 10 minutes for a 150 m sensor cable.
Cable conditioning procedure
Part 1
- loosening the center conductor:
1. Dispense the sensor cable alongside the fence in a long straight line.
2. Carefully remove 30 cm of the outer jacket, shield and clear tube to expose
30 cm of the center conductor at both ends of the cable.
3. Check the ends of the cable to verify that the center conductor is free to
retract or extend (i.e., the cable end is not pinched, flattened, twisted, bent, or
distorted). If an end is damaged enough to prevent the free movement of the
center conductor, cut off the damaged section.
Figure 12: Exposing the center conductor
4. At both ends of the cable, use a cable tie, or a 2.5 cm piece of the outer
jacket, to secure the center conductor to prevent it from retracting into the
cable during the conditioning procedure.
Figure 13: Securing the center conductor
5. At one end of the sensor cable, the first person firmly holds the sensor cable
by the black jacket with one hand, while using the other hand to grip the
center conductor with a pair of pliers (see Figure 16: ).
