The CableSniffer is a device that locates faults in low voltage cables by detecting gases released during cable failures. It was developed through collaborative research involving UK electricity distribution network operators and universities to address the significant costs and disruptions of traditional fault locating techniques. Testing identified characteristic gases released by different cable insulations. A prototype was successfully tested in controlled environments and field trials. An improved production model was then developed that could efficiently locate faults, reducing excavations and costs. Extensive trials found the CableSniffer saves on average one excavation per fault, providing estimated annual savings of £1.8 million for one network operator and a payback period of 6-8 weeks. It has improved reliability and restoration times for operators.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

5 Introduction
The CableSniffer™ is used to detect the highest concentrations of „fault‟ gases within a target area previously identified using existing fault location methods. It is recommended that the cable position is first located using standard Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) technology. A small hole is made in the pavement surface to a depth of 200 mm (8 inches), the CableSniffer™ samples for the presence of fault gases. This is repeated until the location of the highest reading is obtained, this being the location of the fault. Accuracy of fault location is approximately half a metre.
The CableSniffer™ is built for rugged reliability and ease of use and includes the latest innovations in gas detection technology.

6 Safety Note
Use of the Searcher Bar or the Drilling method of making holes in congested pavements requires any distribution cables, or other services, to be positively and accurately located before the hole is made. The maximum depth of the hole depends on construction of the pavement. For the CableSniffer to operate, the drilled hole must penetrate the construction of the pavement so that the CableSniffer is sampling the gasses trapped beneath. However, to reduce the risk of the drill penetrating the cable, the hole must be shallower than the standard depth for burying electricity cables in the country of operation. For example, in the UK, it is recommended that the holes be no greater in depth than 200mm. For use in countries other than the UK, where cable depths and pavement construction is likely to be different, operators are recommended to perform a risk assessment before providing advice to staff on the maximum hole depth.

7 Warning
The CableSniffer™ is designed for the detection of cable fault gases only. It is not designed to detect domestic gas leaks or dangerous sewer gases and must not be used for this purpose, as it will give a misleading response.

9 Producing a Sample Hole
9.1 Searcher Bar System
The Searcher Bar is a device for making a hole in the pavement or road surface to allow for a gas sample to be taken. Gas distribution utilities have, for many years, used this technique for preparing holes for gas leak detection. All of the procedures surrounding this method are well understood with hole reinstatement practices agreed with Local Authorities, and the equipment readily and cheaply available. This method is best suited to asphalt surfaces.
SAFETY NOTE: It is absolutely essential that all cables are located and marked prior to using the Searcher Bar using CAT techniques. If possible the depth of the cables needs to be ascertained before using the Searcher Bar. Use the Searcher Bar approximately 150 mm (6 inches) from the centre line of the cable run.
Searcher Bar Searcher Bar Inserted
When marking the centre line of a cable run, do not use an aerosol marker as some of these can affect the CableSniffer™ and give a false reading.
The Searcher Bar supplied is an insulated „slide‟ hammer which produces a 16 mm x 200mm deep hole in a paved surface. The insulation is rated to 22 kV and each Searcher Bar is marked with a serial number to allow a record to be kept of insulation checks.
14. EA Technology CableSniffer Operating Manual 1332/L/01/3
10 of 31
Because the amount of gas produced by a fault is small, it is important that the CableSniffer™ is used immediately after the Searcher Bar is removed from the hole. If the hole is allowed to breathe, the fault gasses will dissipate. It is advised to make the CableSniffer™ ready to use before using the Searcher Bar.
9.2 Tar Plug Hole Repair System
When the cable fault has been found and repaired, there will be holes made by the Searcher Bar outside of the excavation site. These will need to be repaired to the Local Authorities specification. An acceptable method is to use Tar Plugs.
Place the Tar Plug in the hole and then hammer flat to complete the repair.

9.3 Drill System
Because of difficulty experienced using the Searcher Bar on heavy concrete pavements, or the damage caused when used on decorative paving, EA Technology has introduced a Drill System. This system utilises a heavy duty 24 volt battery drill to drill an 8 mm hole.
To achieve a comfortable stance for the Operator an Extension Bar can be purchased which plugs into the drill chuck. A standard SDS 8mm drill bit plugs directly into the Extension Bar.
Bosch 24 volt battery drill fitted with Extension Bar and 200 x 8 mm drill bit
Because of the small diameter (8 mm) of the drill, holes are easily and quickly drilled in heavy concrete.
It is important to clear the dust away from the hole before using the CableSniffer™ to reduce the amount of dust drawn into the instrument.
9.4 Epoxy Hole Repair System
Because of the small diameter of the drilled hole, the use of specially developed epoxy filler has been adopted as an approved repair method. The system consists of an epoxy and hardener twin pack cartridge, mixer nozzle, applicator gun, and foam plugs.
The epoxy cartridge has a special plug moulded on to the end which, when knocked off with care, can be used to reseal the cartridges taking care to plug the hardener side and the epoxy side with the corresponding sides of the plug.
16. EA Technology CableSniffer Operating Manual 1332/L/01/3
12 of 31
Applicator Gun with twin pack epoxy cartridge and mixer nozzle
Having removed the plug, attach the mixer nozzle to the cartridge and fit the assembly into the applicator gun. The epoxy mixes with the hardener as it passes down the nozzle during hole filling. When all of the holes have been filled the nozzle will need to be discarded as the mixed epoxy will set. This will occur approximately 15 minutes after the last hole was filled.
17. EA Technology CableSniffer Operating Manual 1332/L/01/3
13 of 31
9.5 Foam Plugs
As the epoxy hardener mix cures it becomes hot and thins. If a foam plug is not first inserted into the hole, this mix will „run‟ into the ground requiring considerable extra epoxy filler. It is possible that the hole will never be filled. To avoid this, small foam plugs are provided to block the holes. A single plug is placed in the hole and then pushed down to approximately 50 mm (2 inches). This will ensure that a single application of the epoxy filler is sufficient.

10 CableSniffer™ Description
10.1 Case
The CableSniffer™ has a plastic case with a full-sized handle. The high visibility case is shielded to reduce EMC problems. The system is lightweight and balanced, which makes the CableSniffer™ easy to carry and use for extended periods. A foam rubber gasket between the top and bottom case components is water and dust resistant.
10.2 Control Panel
The control panel is at the top of the CableSniffer™. The touch-pad buttons reduce the risk of accidental activation. The dot matrix display simultaneously shows the gas reading.
The control panel includes the following six buttons.

10.3 Alarm Lights
Two ultra-bright, red LED‟s provide visual alarms for excess gas concentrations and malfunctions. They are mounted on the top rear of the case for the greatest visibility. Continual exposure to high fault gas concentrations will cause damage to the sensors.
10.4 Sensor Straws
The Sensor Straw is used with both the CableSniffer Searcher Bar System and CableSniffer Drill System. When used with the Searcher Bar system a Top Hat Adaptor is required.
The Sensor Straw can not be cleaned easily and it is recommended that a new Sensor Straw is fitted for each new cable fault job. This will ensure that on „start up‟ of the CableSniffer™, the automatic calibration will not pick up gas contamination from the previous fault location and reduce its sensitivity.

10.7 Inline Filter Assembly
This filter paper and particle filter are extremely important to the reliable functioning of the CableSniffer™ as they not only keep dust out of the electronic sensors, but also water. It is recommended that the filter paper and particle filter are cleaned regularly during use, particularly when used with the Drill System which produces large quantities of dust.
When subjected to water the filter paper immediately swells and blocks the air path causing the Low Flow Alarm to operate on the CableSniffer™. This stops water getting into the instrument which would result in expensive damage. When the filter paper is wet it can either be dried out if a suitable heat source is available, or replaced with a new one.
10.8 Filter Assembly Components
23. EA Technology CableSniffer Operating Manual 1332/L/01/3

10.9 Changing the Filter Paper and Particle Filter
Access to the filter paper and particle filter is gained by unscrewing the filter assembly body. Replace the particle filter and place a new filter paper on top of the particle filter. Screw the other half of the filter assembly on top. Ensure that the two black rubber „O‟ rings remain in place to prevent dust and water bypassing the filters and causing damage to the instrument.
10.10 Batteries
The re-chargeable batteries fitted to the CableSniffer™ are Nickel Metal Hydride and when fully charged have the capacity to continuously operate the instrument for 24 hours. When the CableSniffer™ is first switched on the screen displays the minimum voltage required for the instrument to operate correctly, and the voltage available from the batteries. When fully charged this is between 5.6 and 5.8 volts.
10.11 Battery Charger
The battery charger is suitable for use with both mains (100 – 240V ~ 50 – 60 Hz) and vehicle systems (12 – 16VDC or 24 – 32VDC).
When the charger has been plugged into the CableSniffer™ and either the mains supply or a vehicle supply, the RED led will FLASH as the charger ascertains the condition of the batteries. If there is a fault with the batteries, the RED led will continue to Flash. If the batteries are OK, the charger will switch to charging and the RED led will become CONTINUOUS. When the CableSniffer™ batteries are fully charged the GREEN led will become CONTINOUS. The charger can be left in this state indefinitely and will not over charge the batteries.
24. EA Technology CableSniffer Operating Manual 1332/L/01/3

11.2 Set the Display to PPM
GAS LEL%
Press the LEL/PPM button (4) on the Control Panel to change the display to the normal operating display.
GAS 0 PPM
WARNING: New units tend to register a few hundred ppm, this is due to volatiles in the new tubing, and this will reduce after several minutes of operation. If the CableSniffer™ does not display 0 ppm, take it to a known “fresh air” environment, then perform the demand zero procedure as follows: Press and hold down the AIR/ button (5) until a single tone sounds. Continue to hold the button down until the screen indicates that it can be released. If 0 ppm has not been achieved, repeat the demand zero procedure a few times. If 0 ppm cannot be achieved then the sensors have been damaged by continual exposure to high concentrations of fault gas and the CableSniffer™ must be returned to EA Technology.
11.3 Using the CableSniffer™ to Locate a Cable Fault
Following the report of a cable fault, the Electricity Company will follow a set procedure to detect the location of the fault. If the fault location is not obvious the procedure may include checking and replacing fuses in substations, identifying customers affected, and using pulse echo devices to obtain a „distance to fault‟ reading … etc. All of the above will give the Fault Engineer a „target area‟ for the fault location. This target area will typically be 10 to 50 metres in length.
It is important to locate the cable using CAT technology, however, aerosol markers should not be used to mark the cable or test locations, as they produce gases that can affect the CableSniffer™ readings.
Before using the Searcher Bar or Drill system for the first time in the UK, it is recommended that the extract from the British Gas Code of Practice for Bar-holing, (addendum to BGC/PS/DIS6.3 Part B issue 1, August 1984) is read. The relevant parts of the Code have been reproduced in this Manual in Appendix A
Using the Searcher Bar, or Drill, 50 mm to one side of the cable, a hole is made through the paving. Some cable faults produce very small amounts of fault gas so it is important not to let the hole vent before a sample is taken. The CableSniffer™ Sensor Straw needs to be placed into the hole as soon as the Searcher Bar or Drill is removed. If the fault gases have reached this location the CableSniffer™ will produce a reading. A short delay occurs while the gas is drawn up the sample tube and a reading is displayed. This procedure is repeated across the target area until the highest reading is obtained. This is the location of the fault.
28. EA Technology CableSniffer Operating Manual 1332/L/01/3
24 of 31
The gases produced by a cable fault tend to rise through the ground directly over the fault. If samples are taken within 24 hours of the fault occurring the gas will be concentrated directly over the fault with almost no gas detectable 2 metres away.
Over approximately 3 days the gases will spread out from the fault site and can be detected up to 10 metres away. The concentration of the gases over the fault will have dropped making the location of the fault less obvious. Faults have been located up to 6 weeks later but this will depend on the ground type (heavy soils hold the gases longer) and the integrity of the pavement.
In a low light environment, press any button to turn on the display backlight.
EA Technology can provide Searcher Bar Tar Plugs and Epoxy Filler Kits to make good any holes in the pavement surface.
11.4 Turning off the CableSniffer™
To turn off the CableSniffer™, press and hold down the POWER/ENTER (1) button until “GOOD-BYE” displays, and then release the button. (You must wait for “GOOD-BYE” to disappear before you can turn the CableSniffer™ on again.)
