Communication 4-21
Consider the following when choosing the route for the cable:
 Choose a route that will not require running the communication
cable underneath rough gravel roads. Constant traffic could
cause damage to the cable.
 Verify that the communication cable trench will not damage an
existing sprinkler system. Locate any sprinkler lines (These are
not located by the locator service). Check with homeowner if
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 the IETG Services Centre at
[email protected] or 0113 201 9700.
Note: When installing an externally powered EMU (p/n
3800-0148), IETG recommends locating the EMU in close
proximity to the power source to maximize the net power
available to the EMU.
Contacting the Underground Utility Locating
Service
IETG strongly recommends inspecting the cable route for
underground utilities or contacting an underground utility locating
service to conduct the inspection before beginning installation of
the communication cable.
Perform the following to assist 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.
 Create a hand-drawing of the proposed cable route to make
sure the locator service looks in the correct area for
underground services.
