Cables
Costly instruments used to measure the performance and
safety of structures requires secure connections between the sensors and
the readout locations. It is essential that adequate consideration is
given to the connecting cables, particularly when they are to be buried
in the ground or exposed where they could be accidentally damaged.
Vibrating Wire transducers manufactured by Soil Instruments Limited do
not require the use of specialist instrument cables to link them to the
readout location since the signals they generate are in the form of a
Current and not a Voltage.
The type of cables recommended by Soil instruments Limited are of the
highest quality and are manufactured to British Standards. The cables
are specified for use by power cable and telephone cable companies for
permanent installation.
