How it works
The Wire Break Locator is designed to find complete breaks in your Boundary Wire. It is not
designed to detect partial wire breaks. The Transmitter outputs a separate unique signal on
each of the Boundary Wires connected to the Wire Break Locator Transmitter. A continuous
low frequency tone is transmitted on one Boundary Wire and an intermittent higher tone is
transmitted on the other Boundary Wire. The Receiver is used to pick up these tones and
to detect a noticeable change. When a receiver is over a wire break, a continuous tone may
change to an intermittent tone or an intermittent tone may change to a continuous tone.
Most conditions will show a decrease in volume over the break.
Indicators to use the
Wire Break Locator
There is a wire break indication on the containment Transmitter.
The Receiver Collar is not functioning on the containment system, but operates during the
System Test.
Additional Information
Wire breaks in the twisted pair are commonly found:
a. At the wire exit point of the house
b. Where the twisted pair of wire enters the ground from the house, usually caused by string
trimmers
c. Where the wires cross sidewalks or driveways due to edging and string trimmers
d. Around landscaping and flower beds due to digging, or working up the soil
Wire breaks in the Boundary Wire are commonly found:
a. In aerated lawns
b. Where the wires cross sidewalks or driveways due to edging and string trimmers
c. Around landscaping and flower beds due to digging, or working up the soil
d. At wire splices where Gel-filled capsules have not been installed
e. At wire splices without reinforcement knots (refer to
Figure 9
)
Before you begin
For proper electrical grounding, the earth must be wet. Several gallons of water may need to
be poured around the grounding stakes to moisten dry earth.
It is acceptable to repair solid Boundary Wire with stranded Boundary Wire or to repair
stranded Boundary Wire with solid Boundary Wire, but the same gauge such as 20 gauge wire
must be used with both types of wire.
Aerated lawns may require long lengths of wire to be replaced as opposed to small sections.
Aerated lawns can cut the wire into small sections; therefore, instead of making small section
repairs, it may be easier to replace a long length of wire.
