2.5 Pre-­‐Installation: Ensure Power and Data Conduits are in Place
Verify that the client-­‐supplied power conduit and any low voltage data connections, for example
to a guard shack for a control switch, are properly installed beneath where the Control Cabinet
will be secured.
Any other options to be installed, for example cabling for an electronic card reader, should have
the conduit run to the Control Cabinet prior to positioning the Control Cabinet in place. Once
the Control Cabinet has been anchored to the ground, it is very difficult to route any cabling into
the unit. (Drilling into the side of the unit is not recommended.) For this reason it is imperative
to ensure that all power and control data wiring be properly installed prior to installation.
Cabling for control data must always be run in a separate conduit from AC power.
2.6 Pre-­‐Installation Considerations: Inductive Loop Vehicle Detector
If the installation is to include an Inductive Control Loop Detector, the rectangular loop should
be cut and prepared prior to the system installation process.
IMPORTANT NOTE -­‐-­‐ the cut that leads from the loop to the area under the Control Cabinet
must be cut and extended under the base of the cabinet prior to any other installation steps.
REFERENCE NOTE – Though the Control Loop is shown “after” the PBG system in Figure 8, Loops
can be installed on both sides of the PBG, or “before” or “after” the PBG, depending on client
design, installation and operational requirements.
