Element Type

AGG - saturated gelled Ag/AgCl
Termination

SWnnn - nnn ft, #14 AWG HMW/PE
2Wnnn - nnn ft, #22 AWG 2 conductor shielded cable
3 ft. #14 AWG HMW/PE for bonding to rebar
Model Designation

Specify as Model CB-AGG-zznnn
zz = Termination type
nnn = Length of lead wire

Application Notes:

The Model CB should be installed as close as possible to the rebar where measurements are to be taken. The single wire termination, SW, is intended for use where the lead wire goes into a conduit within a short distance of the reference location. The two wire shielded cable termination, 2W, is intended for use where the lead wire is grouted into a saw slot or fully encased in the concrete. Shielded cable is recommended whenever there are concerns about interference effects on the reading. This can happen when the reference lead shares a conduit with a power lead or if the reference lead exceeds 10 ft (3m) in length. Refer to the installation instructions for additional information.
