1.19 Placing The Perimeter Switch
The Perimeter Switch connector is designed for quick and easy disconnection, a flexible feature, should
your lawn require more than one plot. You easily disconnect it by simply pulling the connectors apart. This
allows you to easily move the perimeter switch between plots. The Perimeter Switch also comes with a
large stake that fastens to the back of the perimeter switch, making movement from one plot to another
easier by allowing you to disconnect the switch and move it with the stake still attached. Simply stick it into
the dirt and plug it into the perimeter wire for each plot. See Figure 1.34
Another placement option is to mount the switch onto a vertical surface, such as a wall or deck railing.
There are three small bosses on the back of the switch cover in order to mount it in this way. Use #6 or #8
sheet metal screws, or equivalent. See Figure 1.35. In any event, the switch must be mounted vertically in
order to maintain its’ water resistance and preferably in a dry and sheltered location.
