Wire Loop Attached to Existing Fence (Double Loop)
This layout allows you to include your existing fence as part of
your layout and keep your dog from jumping out or digging under
your existing fence. It reduces the amount of wire which will need
to be buried. Run the wire from the Fence Transmitter to
A, A
to
B, B
to
C, C
to
D, D
to
E,E
to
F
, make a U-turn and follow your
path all the way back to
A
, keeping the wire separated
1 to 1.5
metres
. Twist the wire from
A
back to the Fence Transmitter.
See the “Install the Boundary Wire” section for more information
on attaching the wire to a fence.
Position the Boundary Wire
Step 3
Lay out the Boundary Wire using your proposed boundary and test the system BEFORE burying
the wire or attaching it to an existing fence. This will make any layout changes easier.
Running the Boundary Wire parallel to and within 1.5 metres of electrical wires, neighbouring
containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or satellite dishes will cause
an inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of these, do so at 90° angles (perpendicularly).
TO Twist the Boundary Wire (3A)
Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your dog to cross over that area safely.
Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal. Twist the Boundary Wire 8 to 10 times per foot to
cancel the signal.
TO Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire (3B)
If you need additional Boundary wire to expand your wire loop, you will need to splice the wires
together. Note the locations of all splices for future reference. Most Boundary Wire breaks occur
at splices.
Strip approximately one-half inch of insulation off the ends of the Boundary wires to be spliced.
Make sure the copper Boundary Wire is not corroded. If the Boundary Wire is corroded, cut it
back to expose clean copper wire. Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut and twist the wire nut
around the wires. Pull on the wires to make sure you have a strong splice connection. Apply
waterproofing compound (e.g. silicone caulk) in and around the wire nut or wrap the wires and the
wire nuts with electrical tape to prevent moisture from corroding the copper. If your splice pulls
loose, the entire system will fail. Make sure your splice is secure.
If MGG waterproof connectors are used please follow the instructions included with them.
