Installation
POWER SUPPLY
Do not exceed 41VDC or 29VAC.
Power requirements are 9…41 VDC or 6…29 VAC
PROBE
STANDARD INSTALLATION – BURY PROBE 8” – 12” DEEP
HIGH PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC – BURY PROBE 24” DEEP
CS101 is sensitive to metal objects that move through its field, including bicycles, horses, small
vehicles or metal in shoes. Reduce the sensitivity as required to eliminate detection. In areas
with high pedestrian traffic, the probe may be buried up to 24” deep to prevent triggering the
detector by the metal in shoes.
Do not install the Probe or lead wire near or parallel to:
Low voltage lighting wires
Telephone lines or intercom systems
Electric motors or control relays
Overhead power lines and transformers or underground power lines
Cell phone towers, TV towers or communications links
Moving metal flagpoles, fences, gates or horses with metal shoes
Do not mount on any moving surface such as bridges or walkways may vibrate under
traffic
Underground water lines
Probes are available in various cable lengths, when possible select the appropriate cable length
for the installation. If it is necessary to extend the cable length, use a high quality lead-in cable
suitable for direct burial, and a high quality, watertight cable splice to prevent moisture from
entering the cable causing false triggering. A splice kit (Part no. 3M SPLICE KIT) and lead-in wire
is available from EMX.
All splices must be waterproof.
When there is a high incidence of damage from burrowing animals or other potential damaging
activities, it is recommended that the cable be placed in plastic conduit (1 ½” I.D.) to prevent
damage to the cable. Damage to the cable jacket may allow moisture to enter the cable
causing false triggering. When placing the probe in plastic conduit, use foam or tape to assure
that the probe does not move or vibrate. It is recommended that the conduit be sealed to
prevent water from collecting in the conduit.
The probe must always be installed in such a way that it remains completely motionless. Any
movement will cause the probe to trigger.
CS101 module
The detector is sensitive to minute changes in the magnetic field around the probe. Power
lines, transformers, and other electrical devices located in the vicinity of the probe that produce
transients could cause disturbances in the magnetic field that may result in triggering the
detector. Avoid installation of the probe near these devices.
