Installing cable on chain-link
1. Dispense the sensor cable alongside the installation location on the secure side of the fence.
Do not allow the sensor cable to fall off the spool, as it may twist and kink. (The FlexZone
cable should have been deployed at the installation location for the conditioning procedure.)
2. Beginning at the start point, attach the sensor cable to the fence fabric at point a (see
). Leave enough extra sensor cable at this point to install a splice kit, or to connect the
sensor cable to the processor (refer to the site plan for the processor’s installation location).
3. Hold the sensor cable straight and level along the fence while you attach the cable to the
fence fabric beside the second post at point b. Ensure that there is no slack in the sensor
cable.
4. Return to the start point and install cable ties every 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in.) along the first
fence panel at points c to h.
5. Attach the cable to the fence beside the second post at point i. Ensure the cable is not
stretched tightly, but that it is snug across the fence post.
6. Hold the sensor cable straight and level along the fence while you attach the cable to the
fence fabric beside the third post at point j.
7. Return to the second post and install cable ties every 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in.) along the
second fence panel at points k to p.
8. Continue this procedure, one fence panel at a time, until the cable is fully installed.
9. Verify that there are no slack or loose sections of cable, and that the cable ties are properly
tightened. Trim and properly discard the ends of the cable ties.
Installing cable on welded-mesh fence
•
Install the sensor cable on the secure side of the fence (the side opposite the threat).
•
Sensor cable being installed on the same side of the fence as the horizontal wires should be
placed directly below the horizontal wire and attached every 25 cm (10 in.).
•
Sensor cable being installed on the opposite side of the fence as the horizontal wires should
be attached at the intersection points of the two wires every 25 cm (10 in.).

Follow the installation instructions and use the height
recommendations for chain-link fences when installing sensor
cable on welded-mesh fence.
