•
As you approach the area of the break, the static will become stronger. Stop.
Dig up the twisted pair and tug firmly on the wire. If the twisted pair is broken
completely, one end of the break should appear.
•
If you’re unsuccessful in finding the break with the radio method, walk out to
the middle of the twisted pair. Dig it up and cut the twisted pair. Splice the
ends of the pair that are closest to the house. If the RED light comes ON, there
is no break in the wire from the point where you made the cut to the
transmitter. If the RED light is NOT lit, the break is between your cut and the
transmitter. Reconnect the twisted pair (brown to brown; black to black).
•
Repeat this procedure until you’ve isolated the break in the twisted pair wire.
Fixing the break
Step 1 To make sure no moisture has gotten into the wire, cut 12” off each
side of the break.
Step 2 Cut a length of wire 8 – 10” longer than the pieces you just removed.
You will be splicing this piece to the two remaining ends.
Step 3 To use a DBY Direct Bury Splice, strip about ½ - ¾” from the end
of each wire. Twist the ends firmly into a wire nut. Insert the wire
nut firmly into the bottom of the splicing gel, feed the wires through
the separate sides of the tube and snap the tube closed.
Step 4 Bury the splice. If the splice can’t be buried, twist the ends of wire
firmly into a wire nut. Seal all openings with sealant.
