If you still cannot find the break in the boundary wire,
there are 2 options for locating it:
Option 1:
It is recommended to contact the Customer Care Center to
purchase a wire break locator (RFA-590) (
14B
).
Option 2:
Follow the procedure below:
1. Unplug the fence transmitter.
2. Connect both ends of your twisted boundary wire to one loop terminal on
the surge protector.
3. Measure and cut a test wire which is half the length of your total boundary
wire footage.
4. Connect one end of test wire to the other loop terminal on the
surge protector.
5. Locate the halfway point of your boundary and cut the boundary wire.
6. Splice the other end of the test wire to either side of your boundary wire
where you cut it in half.
7. Plug in the fence transmitter, set the mode to Traditional mode (B), and check
the loop indicator light. If the loop indicator light is on, you can assume that
the break is in the other half of the boundary wire.
8. If the loop indicator light did not come on, you may assume there is a break in
this portion of the boundary wire. However, there is a small chance of having
more than one break in your system. Be sure to check both halves of your
entire loop.
9. Replace the damaged boundary wire with new boundary wire.
10. Reconnect the boundary wire to the surge protector.
11. Check the loop indicator light. If the loop indicator light is on, test the
system with the receiver collar.
