• Twisting the boundary wires will cancel the signal in a specific area. This will allow your pet to run    
  over this area. Current in the wires must be traveling in the opposite directions to cancel the signal.    
  Make at least ten twists per foot, up to 100 feet maximum, to cancel the signal in the twisted wires. 

Connecting Wire to the Transmitter

• Strip the ends of the boundary wire approximately  
  1/2 inch.
• Connect the boundary wire to the boundary wire  
  terminals.
• Turn the Boundary Width Control to the number  
  10 setting. This will set the boundary warning zone  
  at the maximum width. The smaller the number  
  setting, the more narrow the boundary warning zone  
  will be.
• Plug the AC power adapter into the power jack on  
  the transmitter and into an electrical outlet.
• The power indicator and loop connection indicator  
  lights should be on.

Grounding your Transmitter

Proper grounding is necessary to reduce the chance of 
lightning damage to your transmitter. Connect a wire 
between the transmitter and a ground rod buried at least 3 ft. into the ground. You may use an existing 
ground rod. Ground rods with clamps and 14 to 18 gauge wire may be obtained at most electrical supply 
stores. Locate the transmitter as close as possible to the ground rod.

Splicing the Wire

If you need more than 500 feet of wire, splice the wire together with wire nuts or shrink tubing.

Note the location of all splices on the layout you drew for future reference.  Most wire breaks occur near or at the 
splices.

Begin by stripping the ends of the wires to be spliced. Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut and twist. 
Pull on the wires to make sure you have a strong splice connection. Apply waterproofing compound (like 
silicone caulk) in and around the wire 
nut. After the compound dries, you 
may also wrap the wires and the wire 
nuts with electrical tape to prevent 
them from pulling loose and to 
protect from moisture. If your splice 
or the connection pulls loose, the 
entire system will fail. Make sure of a 
good connection.

TESTING THE 

BOUNDARY WIRE

  

 

The Containment Transmitter

For testing purposes, the mode 

should be in the BEEP/SHOCK 

position.  Connect the ends of 

the wire to the two red boundary 

terminals on the containment 

transmitter. Turn the signal range 

Apply waterproofing compound and 

wrap with electrical tape.
