Note:

If a sensitivity profile indicates a drop of 20 dB within a 10 m length of

cable, it indicates that there is likely a problem with either the cable at that

location (e.g., improper conditioning, kinked, damaged cable) or with the fence

condition at that location (e.g., loose, sagging, stretched).

Note:

It is recommended to save a UCM file that includes the recorded sensitivity

profile. This can be useful for future maintenance and troubleshooting activities.

The Sensitivity Profile procedure is best conducted with two people, one to cause

the fence disturbance and one to operate and monitor the UCM Profile window.

1. Establish a connection between the UCM and the processor.

2. Select the Side A Cfig tab and then select the Profile button.

3. Verify that the All radio button is selected, and then select the Record button

to begin recording the Sensitivity Profile for Side A.

4. At the start point of detecting cable for Side A, begin dragging the screwdriver

along the fence fabric.

5. Maintain consistent pressure and a steady pace and continue dragging the

screwdriver along the fence fabric near the sensor cable until reaching the

end of the detecting cable.

6. Repeat this process, dragging the screwdriver from the end point back to the

start point.

7. Select the Stop button to stop recording the Sensitivity Profile.

8. Review the Sensitivity Profile to verify that it was successful. Look for a

reasonably flat response that is somewhat lower near the end of the cable

than at the beginning (typically a 20 dB drop over a 300 m cable).

Note:

You can use the Disable function on the Profile window to trim out the

areas with low signal responses at the beginning and end of the Sensitivity

Profile by specifying the range of Meters and selecting the Disable button.

9. Once you are satisfied with the profile, select the Update button to load the

Sensitivity Profile data. If the recorded Sensitivity Profile is not acceptable,

select the Undo button and repeat the profile procedure.

10. Close the Profile window and download the Sensitivity Profile data to the

processor.

11. Repeat this procedure for the Side B sensor cable.
