Wire Loop
1. Identify the route that the loop wire will take around your property.
2. Splice a single wire to one of the wires of the twisted pair.
3. Run this wire around the property, laying it in a cut you’ve made in the lawn
with the edger, shovel or ice chopper. You do not have to bury the wire loop.
If you prefer, you can lay it on the ground or attach it to a fence. Make sure
the wire is protected from harmful elements that may damage or break it
including high traffic areas.
•
The less splices you have, the better!
•
As you roll out the wire, be sure not to pull up already buried wire. One way
to prevent this is to have someone stand at the last spot where the wire is
buried, or put something heavy on this spot.
HINT
: To help roll out the wire,
put a screwdriver or a wooden dowel through the hole of the wire spool. Use
this as a handle as you roll out the spool.
•
Avoid making angled corners as you lay the wire around your property. In
sharp corners the signals emitted from the wire will cross over each other. To
prevent this, bends should be rounded (see illustrations below).
