Southwest Microwave Inc MTP Manuel D’Utilisation

 

Select the cable path where MicroTrack will be 
installed – inside of the perimeter fence (or wall) 
10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 m) from the fence or 
between two fences (or walls) 

 

 

Walk along the proposed cable path and note the 
items below: 

 

 

Measure distances from: 

•  fence corner to fence corner 

•  between fences and buildings 

•  location of gates, roads, sidewalks 

 

 

Identify, along the cable path, the location of: 

•  services, including water, sewer, power, gas, 

telephone, which may be buried 3 ft. (1 m) 

•  low spots where water may pool or run 

across cable path 

•  trees, shrubs and objects within 15 ft. (5 m) 

 

 

Identify the burial medium along the cable path:  

•  soil, crushed stone, asphalt, concrete 

 

 

Dig small test holes 10 in. (25 cm) deep along 
the cable path to assess the nature of the soil. 

•  Is it consistent, contain rocks, debris, etc.? 

•  Is sand backfill required? 

 

 

Measure depth of the asphalt (or concrete) to 
determine if: 

•  The sensor cable can be cut into the asphalt 

[3 in. (8 cm) or more], or 

•  Must be installed in the soil below 

 

 

Measure the length of asphalt (or concrete) areas 
to assess the amount of material that has to be 
saw cut for the sensor cable 

 

 

Identify the location of culverts which may be less 
than one meter (3 ft.) from the cable path  – plan 
to shield the culverts if non-metallic 

 

 

Determine the need for and/or the location of 
auxiliary sensors along the perimeter  

•  At gates and sallyports 

•  Across roads, buildings, along fence line, 

etc.
