5.
Continue applying the tension to the sensor cable,
while you attach the cable to the fence fabric
adjacent to the third post (point 10).
6.
Return to the second post and install cable ties
every 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in.) along the second
fence panel (points 11 to 16).
7.
Repeat this procedure, one fence panel at a time,
until the cable is fully installed in the zone.
8.
Verify that the tension on the cable is consistent
along the entire length. Loose sections of sensor
cable can result in low detection sensitivity.
Adjusting low sensitivity detection spots
Occasionally, areas with low detection sensitivity can
occur along the installed cables. Low spots can result
from incorrect or incomplete cable stabilization, or from
mishandling the cable.
Mishandling the cable may alter the relative lengths of the
dielectric and center conductor, resulting in an excess amount
of center conductor, which bunches up inside the cable.
Mishandling the cable can also cause a kink in the center
conductor, which may require a splice to repair.
•
Verify that the cable is correctly installed, and is not
slack around the low spot. If there are any visible
installation problems, remove the cable and re-install
it correctly, under 2.2 to 4.5 kg of tension.
•
Ensure that the fence fabric is not loose, and that the
cable is not installed too close to tension wires,
tension bars, or other cables.
If the above steps do not correct the low detection spot,
make the following adjustment:
Low spot near the end of the cable
1.
Beginning at the end of the sensor cable, remove
the cable from the fence to a point several meters
beyond the low spot’s location. Lay the cable
carefully on the ground in a straight line.
2.
Remove and discard the connector shell and
terminal block from the end of the cable.
3.
Have someone grip the sensor cable’s black jacket
near the end, while applying 2.2 kg (5 lb) of
pulling tension to the center conductor with a pair
of pliers.
4.
Pick up the sensor cable near the end, and wave
and lightly tap the cable at 1 m intervals, back to a
point beyond the low detection spot.
As you tap the cable, listen for the rattle, which
indicates that the center conductor is stabilized.
5.
Cut off any excess center conductor.
OR
If the center conductor is retracted, tap back from
the end until you locate the center conductor
(by listening for the rattle).
6.
Cut back the cable so that the center conductor
and dielectric are the same length.
7.
Reinstall the cable, test the sensor zone and
recalibrate as required.
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 in “Low spot near the end of the cable”
on both sections of sensor cable.
4.
Splice the two sections of cable together using the
standard splice kit and re-install the cable.
5.
Test the sensor zone and recalibrate as required.
If these methods DO NOT eliminate the low spot, replace the
low sensitivity cable section with a new length of Intelli-FLEX
Mark 2 sensor cable.
