Petsafe PIG20-11041 Step Connect the Wires to the Fence Transmitter, Additional Boundary Wire

Additional Boundary Wire

Extra direct burial Boundary Wire can be purchased in 150 m (500 feet) spools at the store where you purchased the kit or through the Customer Care Centre.

Note:When adding BoundaryWire, it must act as a continuous loop.

The table at right indicates the approximate length of Boundary Wire needed for a square, Single Loop layout. Length will vary due to the amount of twisted wire and layout used. Remember that a Double Loop will require twice as much wire.

	1.	Run the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter through a window, under a door,		Power Light
		through a crawl space vent, or any other appropriate available access.You can also
		drill a hole through your wall.
	2.	Strip the ends of the Boundary Wire approximately 1.3 cm (1/2").
	3.	Insert the Boundary Wires into the Boundary Wire Terminals on the Fence
		Transmitter. Make sure wires do not touch each other at the terminals.			Ground
	4.	Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10. This will set the Warning Zone at the		Boundary Width	Terminal

	5.	Plug the Power Adapter into the Power Socket and a working outlet. The Power		Power	Loop Indicator Light
		Adapter comes with the North American plug installed and additional plugs for the
				Socket
		UK and Europe. To change the plug:
		a. Push in the tab on the Power Adapter and remove the plug by	4B	4C
		sliding it off as shown (4B).
		b. Slide the proper plug for your electrical outlet onto the Power
		Adapter as shown (4C).
	6.	The Power Light and Loop Indicator Lights should come on. If this
		does not happen, see the “Troubleshooting” section.

Ground Wire (4D)

Proper grounding, although not necessary for the system to work, will help reduce the chance of electrical surges causing damage to your Fence Transmitter and/or Power Adapter. To ground your unit, you will need a solid (not stranded) Ground Wire (14 to 18 gauge insulated copper wire) and a ground rod with clamp, which may be obtained at most electrical supply stores. Connect one end of the Ground Wire to the Ground Terminal located on the Fence Transmitter and the other end of the Ground Wire to the ground rod. The ground rod must be buried at least three feet into the ground and located as close as possible to the Fence Transmitter.

Fuse Protection (4E)

The Fence Transmitter is also equipped with a 250 volt, ½ amp fuse to protect the unit’s electronic circuitry from electrical power surges. To locate the fuse, slide off the lid on the back of the Fence Transmitter. A spare fuse is also provided.
