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.
