Standard Gate Wiring Diagram:

Wiring Gates in areas of high snowfall

NOTE: In all applications where underground wire is NOT in a conduit (negative wires
only) be sure to leave a small loop of extra wire underground to allow for ground heave
due to frost and ground settling.

NOTE: When not using winter wiring configuration, be sure to apply a jumper wire to
connect all hot strands together at all end posts.

Wiring Cross Fencing Sections

Paddock Division for Rotational Grazing

Unlike gates, there is no need to dig a trench. Simply connect the power from the
perimeter fence to the section of cross fencing using lengths of copper lead-out wire.
