Abstract
A monitoring system contains a safety cable that has at least one line along which a fault sensor device extends. The safety cable has a capacitor with two electrodes and an inductor which is made of a conductor that is electrically connected to one of the electrodes such that a series resonant circuit is formed. By ascertaining a resonant frequency of the series resonant circuit, the state of the safety cable, in particular the wear of the safety cable, is determined and a possible future fault is predicted in particular. A corresponding safety cable in particular in the form of a prefabricated material available by the meter and a method for operating the monitoring system are described.
