Position the Boundary Wire
Lay out the Boundary Wire using your planned boundary and test the system BEFORE burying the wire or attaching it
to an existing fence. This will make any layout changes easier. Work carefully. A nick in the wire insulation can diminish
the signal strength and create a weak area where your pet can escape.
Running the Boundary Wire parallel to and within 10 feet of electrical wires,
neighboring containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables,
or satellite dishes may cause an inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of these,
do so at 90-degree angles (perpendicularly) (
3A
).
If separating the wire by at least 10 feet from a neighboring containment system’s
wire does not reduce the inconsistent signal, contact the Customer Care Center.
To Twist the Boundary Wire
Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your pet to cross over that area safely
(
3B
). The signal cannot be cancelled by running the wire through plastic or metal piping. Using
shielded cable in place of the Boundary Wire will also not cancel the signal. Refer to figure (
3C
)
for the correct method of twisting the wire. You can twist your own wire by cutting two equal
lengths of Boundary Wire supplied and twisting them together. Anchor one end of the wires to
something secure and insert the other end in a power drill. Pull the wire taut. The drill enables
you to twist the wire quickly. Twist the Boundary Wire 10 to 12 times per foot to cancel the signal.
Once you have completed your boundary layout, insert the twisted wire into the transmitter.
To Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire
If you need additional Boundary Wire to expand your wire loop, you will need to splice
the wires together. Note the locations of all splices for future reference.
Strip approximately
3
⁄
8
inch of insulation off the ends of the Boundary Wires to be spliced
(
3D
). 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 connector and twist the wire connector around the
wires. Ensure that there is no copper exposed beyond the end of the wire connector. Tie a
knot 3 to 4 inches from the wire connector (
3E
). Ensure that the wire connector 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 connector as deeply as possible into the waterproof gel inside the capsule
(
3F
). Snap the lid of the capsule shut (
3G
). 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 connectors are available through the Customer Care Center.
