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 keep your pet from jumping out or digging under your existing fence. It reduces 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 follow your path all the way back to A, keeping the wire separated three to five feet.Twist the wire from A back to the Fence Transmitter. See the “Install the Boundary Wire” section for more information on attaching the wire to a fence.

Position the Boundary Wire

Lay out the Boundary Wire using your proposed boundary and test the system BEFORE burying the wire or attaching it to an existing fence. This will make any layout changes easier.

Running the Boundary Wire parallel to and within five feet of electrical wires, neighboring containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or satellite dishes will cause an inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of these, do so at 90-degree angles (perpendicularly).

If separating the wire by at least five feet from a neighboring containment system’s wire does not reduce the inconsistent signal, contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.

To Twist the Boundary Wire (3A)

Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your pet to cross over that area safely. Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal.Twist the Boundary Wire 10 to 12 times per foot to cancel the signal. The maximum length of twisted wire is 50 feet.

To Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire (3B)

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 one-half inch of insulation off the ends of the Boundary Wires to be spliced. 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. Pull on the wires to make sure you have a strong splice connection. Apply waterproofing compound (e.g. silicone caulk) in and around the wire nut or wrap the wires and the wire nuts with electrical tape to prevent moisture from corroding the copper.

If your splice pulls loose, the entire system will fail. Make sure your splice is secure.
