FENCE CONDITIONS
Fence Conditions
When the FPS Transducer Sensor Cable is installed on the fence, the sensor cable and the fence be-
come the fence protection system. In effect, the sensor cable listens to the fence to detect the signals
caused by climbing, jacking, or cutting the fence.
It is recommended that you walk the entire length of the fence line to determine if the fence requires
maintenance prior to installation. Grab the fabric between each and every line post, pull it to you, and
let it go. Listen to it! The fence can flex, but if you hear any bangs, clangs, etc., they can be a source of
nuisance alarms and should be corrected. Keep a log of any potential problems so they can be identi-
fied and repaired before the fence protection system is operational. Refer to Fence Quieting later in
this section.
Typical Source or Locations of Trouble Spots
