Sample 6 (2J): Wire Loop Attached to Existing Fence (Double Loop)

This layout allows you to include your existing fence as part of your layout and	D
keep your pet from jumping out or digging under your existing fence. It reduces	1-1.5 m
	(3-5 ft)
the amount of wire which will need to be buried. Run the wire from the Fence
Transmitter to A, A to B, B to C, C to D, D to E, E to F, make a U-turn and	C
follow your path all the way back to A, keeping the wire separated 1-1.5 m	E
(3-5 ft). Twist the wire from A back to the Fence Transmitter. See the “Install the	F
Boundary Wire” section for more information on attaching the wire to a fence.

Step	Position the Boundary Wire
	Lay out the BoundaryWire 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 3 m (10 ft) of electrical wires,	Boundary Wire
	neighbouring containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or
			3 m
	satellite dishes may cause an inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of these, do

3so at 90-degree angles (perpendicularly). (3A)			Buried	Cabl
	If separating the wire by at least 3 m (10 ft) from a neighbouring containment system’s
			90˚
	wire does not reduce the inconsistent signal, contact the Customer Care Centre.		3 m

	To Twist the Boundary Wire
	Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your pet to cross over that area safely
	(3B).To ensure the signal is cancelled, it is recommended that you cut and splice the Boundary
	Wire between each twisted section. Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal.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		30Twists/m
	30 times per metre (10 to 12 times per ft) to cancel the signal. Once you have completed your
			10 Twists/ft
	boundary layout, insert the twisted wire and insert 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. Most Boundary Wire breaks occur at splices.

Strip approximately 1 cm (3/8") of insulation off the ends of the Boundary Wires to be spliced (3C). 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 7.5-10 cm (3-4") from the wire nut (3D). 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 (3E). Snap the lid of the capsule shut (3F). 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 Centre.
