7. Snap the lid of the capsule shut (
6G
). The
splice connection must be waterproof for
proper system performance.
Note:
If your splice pulls loose, the entire
system will fail. Make sure your splice is
secure. Additional gel-filled splice capsules
and wire nuts are available through the
Customer Care Center.
8. Repeat for the other end of the buried
wire break.
The damaged wire should now be spliced
together with the new section of boundary
wire (
6H
).
Reconnect the Wires
After you have repaired the wire break, take
the locator and continue walking around
the entire boundary to verify that there
are no more wire breaks. If there are no
more wire breaks, you will hear intermittent
and continuous tones all the way around
the boundary.
Go back inside your home and disconnect
the 2 twisted boundary wires from the loop
terminals (
7A
) and connect them back to your
fence transmitter. Check that the loop light is lit
on the fence transmitter. If it is not lit, there may
be another break in the wire.
Disconnect the 2 ground wires (
7B
) and
store them along with the grounding stakes
in case you need to check for wire breaks in
the future.
Test the Fence System
Verify that your system is working with
the receiver collar. Slowly approach the
boundary wire while holding your test light
tool firmly on the receiver collar contact points
(
7C
). The test light tool will light up as the
receiver collar sends a static correction.
Verify that the receiver collar activates
approximately 6–10 ft. (1.8–3 m) from the
boundary wire as a warning zone before
placing the receiver collar on your pet.
