Communication
4-3
Verify that the communication cable trench will not damage an
existing sprinkler system. Therefore, locate any sprinkler lines.
These will not be located by the locator service
. Check with
homeowners when necessary.
Avoid flowerbeds and other areas where frequent digging or
planting might occur.
Note:
For more information on determining the most
suitable cable route, contact ADS Client Services at
[email protected] or 877-237-9585.
Note:
When installing an externally-powered EMU (ADS
p/n 3800-0148EP), ADS recommends locating the EMU in
close proximity to the power source to maximize net power
available to the EMU.
Contacting Underground Utility Locating Service
If the communication cable must be routed through a yard or a
commercial area, ADS highly recommends contacting an
underground utility locating service before initiating installation of
the communication cable. For scheduling, allow 5 to 7 days for this
to occur before initiating excavation activities.
Do the following to facilitate the locator’s service, minimize the risk
of damage to underground utilities, and avoid possible injury or
death caused by a potential cable strike:
Provide the exact route proposed for the cable.
Clearly mark the proposed route with spray paint or wire flags.
Create a hand-drawing of the proposed cable route to make
sure the locator service investigates in the correct area for
underground services.
