With the transmitter installed and the hole drilled for the
wire, you can position the boundary wire that will form
your fence. DO NOT bury the wire until you are sure that
the system is running properly.
1. Amount of wire.
Your system includes 500 feet of boundary wire. For larger
areas, we offer a boundary kit with wire, flags and splices.
Here are some examples of wire coverage area:
2. Placing the wire
The wire must make a continuous loop from the trans-
mitter and back again. The signal is transmitted from
one terminal at the transmitter around the loop and back
to the transmitter again. Keep in the mind that you will
want an 8’ - 12’ containment signal field from you wire,
so don’t run the wire too close to the house or make
passageways too narrow for your dog to pass.
3. Twisted Wire
Twisted wire cancels the radio signal coming from your
transmitter. This enables proper installation and your dog
can cross over the wire in the safe part of the yard.
Where there is single wire, the fence is active and your
dog will be unable to pass. You can twist your own wire
by cutting two equal lengths of wire supplied and twisting
them together. Anchor one end of the wires to something
secure and insert the other end in a drill. Pull wire taught.
The drill enables you to twist the wire quickly. You will
need at least 12 twists per foot to effectively cancel the
radio signal.
4. Rounding Corners
Use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum of
2.5 foot radius. This will produce a more consistent
containment field.
IMPORTANT TIPS!
• DO NOT run wire within 10 feet or parallel to cable
TV, phone and electrical lines. The signals can cou-
ple together causing collar activation in the house
and safe parts of the yard.
• The wire must form one continuous loop from the
transmitter.
• Use twisted wire to run between the transmitter and
interior loops around pools and gardens to allow
your dog to safely pass around these areas. (As
illustrated in the custom loop diagram).
• Work carefully. Any nick in the wire can diminish
signal strength and create a "weak" area with the
potential for your dog to escape.
