Adding lead-in cable (SC1/SC2 sensor cable)
You can add lead-in cable to increase the length of the 20 m of integral lead-in cable supplied with
each SC1/SC2 sensor cable. However, there are rules that must be followed:
• To add 15 m, or less, of lead-in cable, you can splice the additional lead-in to the end of the
existing lead-in cable. No other changes are required.
• To add more than 15 m of lead-in cable, you must remove an equal amount of detecting cable
from the start-up section of cable, which is marked by the red band. For example, an
installation requires 50 m of lead-in cable. Therefore, the first 30 m of detecting cable from the
startup section (past the red band) and the existing 20 m of lead-in cable must be cut out. A 50
m section of replacement lead-in cable is then spliced in at the 30 m point, where the detecting
cable was cut.
Splice kits
Cable bypass splice kits are available for each of the three types of OmniTrax sensor cables. Each
of the kits includes the hardware components required to make the splice. You must order the
required amount of non-detecting lead-in cable separately. Conduit, if required, is customer
supplied.

Perimeter layout
The information obtained in the site survey is used to determine the perimeter layout. Start by
creating a comprehensive site plan that shows the layout of the OmniTrax system equipment
(processors, sensor cables, decouplers, power supplies, etc.).
Starting the perimeter
To begin the site design, indicate the location of each alarm zone on your site plan. Allocate the
alarm zones to match the site’s physical characteristics and to accommodate any additional
security systems (e.g., CCTV coverage).
Note SC1 lead-in cable includes two sensor cables in one outer jacket (a
25 m splice requires 25 m of lead-in cable). OC2 and SC2 lead-in cable
is a dual cable system (a 25 m splice requires 50 m of lead-in cable).
Note When digging trenches where the surface is grass-covered and must
be restored after installation, use a turf cutter or turf remover to peel a
strip of turf from the sensor cable path.
