If you are using Twisted Wire or additional Boundary Wire to expand your main loop,
you will need to splice the wires together . Mark on your plan layout where your wire
splices are located for future reference. Your system should not be
energized when splicing the wires.
• Using a wire stripper, strip about one half inch of the coating from the tips of
the Boundary Wire to expose clean, non-corroded Boundary Wire.
• Hold the wires together. Insert the wires into the supplied wire nut ensuring that
there is no copper exposed beyond the end of the wire nut. Twist the wires together
in a clockwise direction . Pull lightly on the wire nut to make sure it is secure .
• Tie a knot 4 inches from the wire nut.
• Open the top of the grease tube and insert the wire nut. Close the cap on
the grease tube. This will waterproof your wire splice.

In order to make sure the system is working properly you must test the wire using the Receiver Collar . Install the
batteries (see page 17 Battery Installation) and turn the Receiver Collar on by pressing and holding for 4 seconds
until the LED indicator lights up . Do not test the system while the Receiver Collar is on your dog .
• Place the Test Light indentation holes directly onto the Receiver Collar stainless steel probes. (fig. 13)
• Slowly bring the Receiver Collar near the Boundary Wire at your pet’s neck level with probes facing up (fig 14). If the
system is working correctly you will hear a Warning Tone . Continue toward the Boundary Wire until you see the Test
Light flash (fig. 15). If you do not hear the Warning Tone or see the flash you should review the previous directions.
• If your system is working correctly, unplug the Base Transmitter and disconnect the wires from the Base
Transmitter and continue to follow the directions on installing the Boundary Wire.
