Back at the Base Station – Completing the Perimeter Wire Setup
Once the Perimeter Wire loop is completed and pegged to
the ground, complete the setup by attaching the beginning
and the end of the Perimeter Wire to the Base Station Head.
Peg the two Perimeter Wires down to the ground using
o
the same peg leaving enough loose wire.
Trim the end without the connector to make both of
o
equal length and twist the two wires.
Strip back 5 mm (1/4 inches) of insulation from the wire
o
end.
Insert the end of the wire without the connector into
o
the hole of the connector. Use a small flat screwdriver
to tighten and secure this wire into the connector.

Placement and connection of the Base Station
Place the Base Station on the Perimeter Wire as shown in
o
the figure to the right.
Align the center of the Base Station on the wire.
o
Attach the Perimeter Wire connector to the Base Station
o
Head.
Use only the wire connectors supplied with the unit.
Neither Twisted cables, nor a screw terminal insulated with
insulation tape are a satisfactory splice.
Soil moisture will cause the conductors to oxidize, which will later
cause a broken circuit.
