complete the system

1.  Install other TraceTek components (such as Modular 

Branching Connectors, Weighted Lengths, and Modular 

Jumper Cables) as called for in the system layout. Complete 

the sensing circuit.

 

note

: All components of the system have male or female metal 

connectors or both. The male connectors are oriented toward 

the instrument panel. As new sections of cable are added to 

the main leg or branch, each newly added section should end 

with an open female connector. The end of each branch or 

main leg is terminated with a male end termination.

2.  Test the sensing circuit (or portions of it) to confirm that the 

sensing cable is clean and intact. Follow the Sensing Cable 

Test Procedure.

3.  Connect the sensing circuit to the TraceTek alarm module 

and activate the system as soon as is practical. Use the 

alarm module to monitor the sensing cable during the final 

stages of construction.

take precautions if installation is incomplete at end of 
work day.
At the end of the work day:

•  Ensure that there are no open connectors. Each sensing 

cable should be connected to a Modular Leader Cable (TT-

MLC-PC), Modular End Termination (TT-MET-PC), and/or 

other sensing cables; check both ends of the cable.

•  Test and record the condition of installed sensing cable fol-

lowing the Sensing Cable Test Procedure.

•  If practical, connect the installed sensing cable to the 

TraceTek alarm module. Test the system and put it in opera-
tion following the alarm module installation instructions.

At the beginning of the next work day:

•  Check that the installed sensing cable is clean and intact 

following the Sensing Cable Test Procedure. Compare the 

results with those obtained at the end of the previous work 

day. If necessary, investigate and correct problems before 

proceeding.
