- Page 4 MCTR MCTR Optimal Layout: • The diagram shown above shows how the IRONCLAD system should appear when installed correctly. • Please note the positioning of the sensor cable approximately halfway up the fence and running parallel to the ground.
- Page 5 IRONCLAD’s ability to properly filter out false signals. • IRONCLAD functions best when installed on a fence which is in good condition. Ideally, the fence should be fully intact, straight, under tension, and free of obstructions. Signs should be securely fastened.

Page 6: Sensor Cable Installation
Sensor Cable Installation • The sensor cable must be attached to the internal (protected) side of the fence. • Ideally, the cable should be attached in the middle of the fence and run roughly parallel to the ground. 6 / 28... - Page 7 Sensor Cable Installation On Fence • Attach the cable to the fence within the groove formed by the chain link low point (see above). • The low point creates a “channel/line” that allows the cable to sit in and have greater contact with the fence material.
- Page 8 While rotating the • Although we strongly recommend the use of tool with the other IRONCLAD ties due to the extended durability of hand pull the metal versus plastic, installation can also be done with loose side of the any outdoor UV plastic tie wraps/zip ties.
- Page 9 Sensor Cable Installation Around Poles • Create a drop loop around the poles. This allows the cable to move freely with the fence without catching on the pole. Ideal spacing is 2-3 fingerbreadths (2.5 - 4 inches) between the cable and the pole on a taught fence.
