Petsafe RFA-67 manual Position the Boundary Wire, To Twist the Boundary Wire

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 3 to 5 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.

Step	Position the Boundary Wire
	Lay out the Boundary Wire 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 5 feet of electrical wires,	Boundary Wire
	neighboring containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables,				Cable
	or satellite dishes may cause an inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of			Buried
3these, do so at 90-degree angles (perpendicularly) (3A).			10’
	If separating the wire by at least 10 feet from a neighboring containment		90˚
	system’s wire does not reduce the inconsistent signal, contact the Customer
	Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.		10’
	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
	10 to 12 times per foot to cancel the signal. Once you have completed your boundary layout,
	insert the twisted wire into the transmitter.
	To Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire		10 Twists/ft.
	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 3⁄8 inch of insulation off the ends of the Boundary Wires to be spliced		3/8"	3/8"
	(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 3 to 4 inches from
	the wire nut (3D). Ensure that the wire nut is secure on the wire splice.			1

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 Center at 1-800-732-2677.
