INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS
38
As the transducer cable approaches the gate, it is tied to the fence fabric, turned and run up vertically
approximately one foot, then turned horizontally and tied to the upright gate support post near, but
not on, the upper hinge. Route the transducer cable across the gate support post and gate post using
a strain relief, such as Panduit 1/8” T12F-0, or similar, spiral wrap material and fasten to the gate fabric
as shown. The spiral wrap will prevent abrasion and excessive movement in the wind. Route the
transducer cable in a large loop around the gate and return to the fence near the lower hinge point as
shown. Utilize another strain relief to pass back across the hinge area to the fence fabric. Route the
transducer cable on the fence to the weatherproof junction box making sure to provide the transducer
cable drip loop shown and entering the junction box from the bottom (the drip loop and coming into
the bottom will prevent moisture buildup in the junction box). A gland type cable fitting is recom-
mended at the entrance to the junction box. Using a TSK, splice the transducer cable to the nonsensi-
tive cable in the junction box. Route the nonsensitive cable in the conduit to the junction box on the
other side of the gate. Splice here again to the transducer cable using a TSK and continue the trans-
ducer cable down the fence as shown. If a double swinging gate is encountered, the transducer cable
should be routed and attached to the second half of the gate as explained for the first half.
Gate Bypass Unit
A gate bypass unit (GBPU) is sometimes used to temporarily disconnect the transducer cable installed
on a swinging gate. If a GBPU installation is required, please refer to the Gate Bypass Unit Installation
Instructions furnished with the GBPU.
Telegate Installation
Each Telegate requires installation of a support post. See Figure 45. The support post must be located
correctly to ensure proper Telegate operation. The support post and Telegate must be positioned to
extend and retract the armored nonsensitive cable as the gate is opened and closed.
