Service loops
•
Install a U-shaped service loop approximately every 15 m (50 ft.) along the
sensor cable run. The loop should measure approximately 30 to 45 cm (12 to
18 in.) from top to bottom. The recommended location for service loops is at
fence posts. Fence posts are typically 3 m (10 ft.) apart.
