Take precautions if installation is incomplete at end of
work day.

At the end of the work day:

• Ensure that there are no exposed connectors. Each

sensing cable should be connected to a Modular

Leader Cable (TT-MLC-MC), Modular End Termination

(TT-MET-MC), and/or other sensing cables; check both

ends of the cable.

• Test and record the condition of installed sensing cable

following the Sensing Cable Test Procedure.

• If practical, connect the installed sensing cable

to the TraceTek alarm module. Test the system

and put it in operation 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.
