Cable installation on different fence types
5 - 12 • • • Intelli-FLEX II product guide
•
Due to the nature of the sensor cable deployment, it is difficult to deploy
service loops on a palisade fence. It may be necessary to repair a damaged
section of sensor by removing the damaged section, and splicing in a new
section of cable.
•
The tie wraps can be positioned along the horizontal rail so that they are
behind the vertical metal stakes, out of view from the outside of the fence.
This type of installation is more covert, and will prevent potential cable
damage, or tampering.
On barbed wire fence
Keep the following in mind when installing Intelli-FLEX II sensor cable on a
barbed wire fence:
•
Take care not to damage the sensor cable on the barbs during installation and
to ensure that there is no possibility of subsequent damage from the barbs.
•
Attach the sensor cable to the barbed wire using UV-resistant cable ties.
•
If the barbed wire array contains three or more wires, attach the sensor cable
to the top wire.
•
If the wires in the array are less than 10 cm (4 in.) apart, attach the sensor
cable to the array in a saw-tooth pattern.
