Page 30: Sealing The Downhole Tdr Cable End
The Downside termination should be a clean open circuit. The cable cutters tend to crush and short the outer conductor to the inner conductor. So, the cable should be cut with the hacksaw before sealing. MLTDR-W-50 User's Guide... - Page 31 30 seconds. Above 100°F (37.7°C), the encapsulant will harden too fast to work with. Prepare the foam plug to fit around the TDR Cable. Tear off the section shown. Form to foam around the TDR cable. Put on the plastic gloves that are included with the kit. MLTDR-W-50 User's Guide...
- Page 32 Let the tube fully harden. The diameter of the encapsulate tube is about 1.45” (3.7cm). If the tube will not fit down the well casing as is, then trim off the un-sealed portion until it does. The downside termination is ready to install into the well casing or trench.
