Planning the cable path
OmniTrax Product Guide Page 45
End of cable set obstacles
If an OmniTrax perimeter ends perpendicular to a fence or building, the end of the detecting cable
must be at least 7 m (23 ft.) away from the obstacle. Cut the sensor cable 7 m (23 ft.) away from
the obstacle, and install terminators on the ends of the cable (see Figure 18:
and Figure 19:).
If two OmniTrax cable sets from two different processors end at an obstacle, and data and power
are being carried over the sensor cables, you can use decouplers and non-detecting cable to
bypass the obstacle.
Note If detection is required right up to the obstacle, an alternate sensor must
be installed to provide the coverage.
