Double pass cable installation

For double cable pass installation use both sides of one processor for the upper and lower cable 
runs. The FlexZone sensor monitors the received signals from both sensor cables to determine 
intrusion activity. Therefore, it is critical that the features and lengths of both cables are properly 
matched. 

Figure 31: 

 illustrates the double pass concept for a single processor installation. For 

multiple processor installations the upper cables and lower cables of two processors are joined by 
spice kits (see 

Figure 10: 

). Refer to 

Figure 31: 

 and 

Installing cable on chain-link fences on page

 to attach FlexZone sensor cable in a double pass configuration. The cable spacing for a double 

pass configuration is 1/3 the fence height for the lower pass and 2/3 the fence height for the upper 
pass. If the double pass is required because the fence has a middle rail, then the lower pass 
should be 1/2 way between the middle rail and the ground, while the upper pass should be 1/2 way 
between the middle rail and the top of the fence. 

Figure 30: Welded-mesh fence

Note

Lay the two cables side by side on the ground beside the fence after the 
conditioning procedure, and mark the two cables with tape every 5 m 
(16 ft.). This will facilitate length matching during cable installation.
