Troubleshooting

Tape is difficult to unroll or tangles.

Ensure the roll is stored correctly and free from any external pressure or damage. Check for any obstructions within the roll and carefully unroll, ensuring the tape is not twisted.

Tape visibility is compromised after installation.

Ensure the tape is installed at the correct depth, as specified by local regulations. If the tape is buried too deep, it may not be visible. Consider marking the surface above the cable for additional warning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the trench is the correct depth according to local regulations. Clear the trench of any sharp objects or debris that could damage the tape.
  2. Placement: Unroll the Ultratape Electric Cable Below Tape directly above the buried electrical cable. Ensure the warning text is facing upwards for maximum visibility.
  3. Positioning: Lay the tape flat and avoid twisting or folding it. It should be positioned in a straight line, parallel to the cable.
  4. Backfilling: Carefully backfill the trench, ensuring the tape remains in its correct position. Compact the soil appropriately.

*Compatibility*: The tape is compatible with a wide range of soil types and is impervious to alkalies.
