•
Secure the cable at both sides of each fence post (See
Figure 4). Ensure that the cable is not stretched
tightly, but that it is snug against the fence post so
that it cannot move.
•
Tap the sensor cable with your hand as you install it,
to ensure that the cable is properly stabilized.
(If you do not hear the rattle of the center conductor,
remove one panel of cable ties, apply tension to the
center conductor at both ends of the cable, and wave
and tap the cable in the suspect area.
•
Install the cable ties by hand, tightening them
enough to hold the cable securely against the fence.
Do not use mechanical tightening devices.
•
Do not attach the sensor cable to tension wires.
•
Attach the sensor cable at least 30 cm (1 ft.) away
from horizontal support bars and any other cables.
•
Senstar recommends that you create a 30 to 45 cm
(12 to 18 in.) U-shaped service loop, located at a
fence post, every 15 m (app.) for the length of the
zone (See Figure 5).
•
Install a corner loop at all fence corners and at any
heavy gauge fence posts (See Figure 6).
Installation procedure
For chain link or weld-mesh fences:
This procedure requires two people.
1.
Beginning at the start point of the zone, attach the
sensor cable to the fence fabric (point 1). Leave
0.5 to 1 m (1.6 to 3.3 ft.) of extra sensor cable at
the start point to install a splice kit (for connecting
the sensor cable to the lead-in cable).
Ensure that consistent tension is applied to the sensor cable,
throughout the installation.
2.
Have the second person apply 2.2 to 4.5 kg
(5 to 10 lbs.) of tension to the sensor cable beyond
the second post, while you attach the cable to the
fence fabric adjacent to the second post (point 2).
3.
Return to the start point and install cable ties every
25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in.) along the first fence
panel (points 3 to 8).
4.
Once the sensor cable is completely attached to
the first fence panel, have the second person apply
the same amount of tension to the sensor cable
beyond the third post, while you attach the cable
to the other side of the second post (point 9).
