Transducer Cable Installation With Two or More Persons
Begin at one end of a zone with one person unrolling the cable and one person loosely tying the cable
to the fence. Using cable ties, loosely tie the cable to the fence every 20 to 30 feet to keep it off the
ground. Start by leaving a sufficient service loop, then loosely tie the cable at the proper height over
the length of the zone. It is best not to cut and terminate the transducer cable until the cable is com-
pletely attached to the fence.
Starting at one end of the loosely tied transducer cable (leaving sufficient cable for routing and
termination) begin tying the transducer cable to the fence at the approximate 12-inch intervals as
shown in Figure 27. Observe special precautions at each post as previously detailed. Continue to the
end of the zone and terminate properly. It is recommended that you continue to attach one zone at a
time until the entire perimeter is complete.
Transducer Cable Installation With One Person
NOTE:
This procedure is not recommended for zones over 100 meters (300 feet) in
length.
Start at the beginning of each zone and tie loose (3-inch loop) cable ties at the proper fence height
and at intervals of approximately 10 feet. This provides a row of open cable ties that will allow quick
threading of the cable to the fence. Place the transducer cable on a suitable cable reel dispenser so the
cable will roll directly off the reel with no kinks or knots.
Carefully pull the cable from the reel and thread through the loose ties, one after another, throughout
the entire zone length. You must be very careful that the cable does not get caught, scraped or cut.
You should periodically check the cable reel and the cable you have pulled through the cable ties. As
an alternate to the temporary cable ties for threading the sensor cable, you can make a set of S-hooks
from #10 insulated solid wire, such as #10 THHN. The S-hooks should be hung on the fence at 10-15
foot intervals and the sensor cable hung through them. Walk the cable reel along as you place the
cable in the hooks. It is recommended that you not string more than 100 feet of sensor cable through
the S-hooks at one time.
After threading the cable, begin at one end (leaving sufficient cable for routing and termination) and
secure the cable at approximate 12-inch intervals as shown in Figure 27. Observe special precautions
at each post as detailed above. Continue to the end of the zone and terminate properly.
Helisensor Transducer Cable Installation
Helisensor transducer cable uses the same FPS fence protection technology, but incorporates a flexible
conduit around the coaxial transducer cable to protect from damage or abuse. Helisensor transducer
cable is only available in the 100 meter (328 feet) length; however, up to 3 sections can be combined
for zone lengths up to 300 meters.
Each length of Helisensor includes a 1/2-inch conduit fitting for attaching to the pre-amp and a
condulet with terminations inside. When zone lengths greater than 100 meters are required, the
second (or third) length of Helisensor is connected by screwing a 1/2-inch conduit fitting (2nd sec-
tion) into the condulet (1st section) and terminating the sensor cable to the connector provided in the
condulet.
