Repair the Wire Break
When you have found the location of the wire break, you will
need to dig the wire ends out of the ground to make the repairs.
Be certain to dig with the shovel blade parallel to the wire. Begin
digging 4-5 inches to the side of the wire. Otherwise you could
damage the wire ( Figure 7 ).
Strip approximately
3
⁄

inch of insulation off the ends of the
Boundary Wires to be spliced ( Figure 8 ). Make sure the copper
Boundary Wire is not corroded. If the Boundary Wire is corroded,
cut it back to expose clean copper wire.

Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut and twist
the wire nut around the wires. Ensure that there is no
copper exposed beyond the end of the wire nut. Tie a
knot 3 to 4 inches from the wire nut ( Figure 9 ). Ensure
that the wire nut is secure on the wire splice.
Once you have securely spliced the wires together,
open the lid of the gel-filled splice capsule and
insert the wire nut as deeply as possible into the
waterproof gel inside the capsule ( Figure 10 ). Snap
the lid of the capsule shut ( Figure 11 ). For proper
system performance, the splice connection must be
waterproof.
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.
Make sure to have enough wire to repair the break.
You will need a length of wire at least 2 feet longer
than the distance between the two ends of the
exposed clean copper wire ( Figure 12 ).

After you have repaired the wire break, take the Receiver and continue walking around the
boundary to verify 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.
Connect your Fence Transmitter to the Boundary Wire and check that the loop light is lit. If the
loop light is not lit, there may be another break in the wire. Verify that your system is working
with the Receiver Collar. Verify that the Boundary Width for the Warning Zone is approximately
12-20 feet (6 to 10 feet on each side of the wire) before placing the Receiver Collar on your pet.
