Running Twisted Pair (neutral) wire
Twisted pair is two lengths of the same signal field loop wire, one carrying the signal out
from the transmitter; the other carrying it back to the transmitter. You can identify these as
the brownish/red wire and a black wire ‘twisted’ together. Where the wires are twisted
together the signal field is cancelled. The twisted pair SHOULD NOT activate your pets

unit. The twisted pair is used to carry the signal to and from the
transmitter to the loop wire without creating a signal field that will restrain the pet.
Twisted pair is usually run on the most direct route from the signal field loop wire to the
transmitter and is buried the same way as the loop wire. Twisted pair is also used to
connect an extension loop(s) to the primary signal field loop wire.

After determining where your ICT Transmitter will be mounted, in your garage,
basement, or utility room, you will need to select where the twisted pair will get to
the outside of the house and connect to the perimeter (boundary) wire. Drill a 3/8”
hole using a hammer Drill and a 3/8” mason bit (or wood if going through wood
siding) in an area that is accessible from the outside of the house so you can easily
pass the twisted pair through the hole to connect to the LP 4200 Surge Protector.
Remember to leave enough slack for the twisted pair inside your utility room,
basement, or garage so you can run the wire to the LP 4200 surge protector.
