Maintenance/Troubleshooting - Detection problems
Intelli-FLEX II product guide • • • a - 9
•
Verify that the cable is correctly installed and is not slack in the area of the low
spot. If there are any visible installation problems, remove the sensor cable
and reinstall it correctly, under 2.2 to 4.5 kg of tension.
•
Ensure that the fence fabric is not loose and that the sensor cable is not
installed to closely to tension wires, support posts, or other cables.
If the above steps do not correct the problems, adjust the low spots as follows:
Low spot near the end of the cable
1. Remove the cable from the fence at that end where the low spot is located,
back to a point beyond the low spot. Lay it carefully on the ground in a
straight line.
2. Using pliers to grip the center conductor, apply 2.2 to 4.5 kg (5 to 10 lb.) of
tension on the center conductor while lightly tapping the cable at 1 m (3 ft.)
intervals back to a point beyond the area of low detection sensitivity.
3. Tie off the center conductor close to the cable dielectric to keep it from
slipping back into the cable.
4. Cut off any excess center conductor, re-terminate the cable, and re-install the
cable on the fence.
Low spot in the middle of a long section of cable
1. Remove the cable from the fence over the length of the low spot.
2. Cut the cable at the mid-point of the low spot.
3. Adjust the length of the center conductor as described above for both
sections of the cable.
4. Splice the cable back together using the standard splice kit.
5. Re-install the sensor cable on the fence.
If the methods described above DO NOT eliminate the low spot, replace the cable
section with a new length of Intelli-FLEX cable.
