12. Note Sensing cable should not be encased in conduit for most buried applications Chapter 3 lists guidelines for burying the cable under different mediums see Buried Cable Deployment Guidelines in Chapter 3 To ensure a buried sensor cable successfully detects against intrusions into non fenced perimeters take the following additional considerations into account Medium for deployment The sensor cable works best in buried applications when buried in gravel Sod and sand are also acceptable mediums however items to consider when deciding upon a medium include determining its freezing point and the ability of the medium to conduct vibration This is because a solid medium such as frozen sod conducts fewer vibrations than a fluid one such as gravel The depth at which the cable is buried is determined according to these factors Gravel is also the recommended medium in areas where burrowing animals are a concern Layout of the cable The layout of the sensor cable depends upon the size of the area it is intended to protect The best way to protect an open area is to lay the cable out in loops or switchbacks The size of the area to be protected determines how much distance sits between each loop as well as how much cable is required Accumulation of rainwater Accumulated rainwater freezes damping vibration Accumulation of dust and dirt Dust and dirt gathering over top of the medium ultimately dampen the transmission
