Lay out the BoundaryWire using your planned boundary and test the system BEFORE burying the wire or

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

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.
