Additional Boundary Wire
We recommend the use of
MGG’s tough 1.8mm Super Wire as supplied with this MGG Maxi
System for direct burial. Extra MGG Boundary Super Wire can be purchased in 200m rolls at
www.MGG.co.nz
Note: When adding Boundary Wire, it must still act as a continuous loop and waterproof
connectors must be used.
See below for the approximate length of Boundary Wire needed for a rectangular single loop
layout. Length will vary due to the amount of twisted wire and layout used.
Wire Needed:
Quarter Acre: 130m. Third acre:150m. Half acre: 185m. 1 acre: 260m. 2 acres: 370m. 5 acres:
580m. 10 acres: 880m
Connect the Wires to the Fence Transmitter
Step 4
Boundary Wire (4A)
1. Run the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter through a
window, under a door, through a crawl space vent, or any other
appropriate available access. You can also drill a hole through
your wall.
2. Strip the ends of the Boundary Wire approximately 1cm.
3. Insert the Boundary Wires into the Boundary Wire Terminals on the
Fence Transmitter.
4. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10. This will set the
Warning Zone at the maximum width.
5. Plug the Power Adapter into the Power Jack and a 240 volt outlet.
6. The Power Light and Loop Indicator Lights should come on. If this does not happen, see the
“Troubleshooting” section.
Ground Wire (4B)
Proper grounding, although not necessary for the system to work, will
help reduce the chance of electrical surges causing damage to your
Fence Transmitter and/or Power Adapter. To ground your unit, you
will need a solid (not stranded) Ground Wire (14 to 18 gauge insulated
copper wire) and a ground rod with clamp, which may be obtained at
most electrical supply stores. Connect one end of the Ground Wire to
the Ground Terminal located on the Fence Transmitter and the other
end of the Ground Wire to the ground rod. The ground rod must be
buried at least 1 metre into the ground and located as close as possible
to the Fence Transmitter.
Fuse Protection (4C)
The Fence Transmitter is also equipped with a 250 volt, ½ amp fuse to
protect the unit’s electronic circuitry from electrical power surges. To
locate the fuse, slide off the lid on the back of the Fence Transmitter. A
spare fuse is also provided and can be kept in the unit in the spare slot.
