Install the Boundary Wire
WARNING
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to
bury your wire. In most areas, this is a free service.
NOTICE
Avoid damage to the insulation of the loop wire during the install. Damage may cause areas of weak
signal and lead to early failure of the loop (wire breaks).
Before you begin installing the Boundary Wire, turn the Fence Transmitter Off and unplug the adapter.
To Bury the Boundary Wire
Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.
1. Cut a trench
2.5 cm - 7.6 cm (1” - 3”)
deep along your planned boundary.
2. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with
temperature variations.
3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the trench. Be careful not to
damage the Boundary Wire insulation.
To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence
The Boundary Wire can be attached to a chain link fence, split rail fence, or a wooden privacy fence. The Boundary
Wire can be attached as high as needed. However, make sure the Boundary Width is set at a high enough range for the
pet to receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with an existing fence at least 1.5 m (5 ft) tall, run the Boundary Wire
on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the 1.5 m (5 ft) separation needed.
• Chain Link Fence (7A)
: Weave Boundary
Wire through the links or use plastic quick ties.
• Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (7A):
Use staples to attach Boundary Wire. Avoid
puncturing the insulation of the Boundary
Wire.
•
Double Loop with an Existing Fence:
Run
Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it
on the bottom of the fence to get the 1.5 m
(5 ft) separation needed.
•
Gate (Single Loop) (7B):
Bury the Boundary
Wire in the ground across the gate opening.
Note: The signal is still active across the gate. Your
pet cannot pass through an open gate.
•
Gate (Double Loop) (7B):
Bury both
Boundary Wires across the gate opening while
keeping them 1.5 m (5 ft) apart.
