To Twist the Boundary Wire

Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your
pet to cross over that area safely (3B). The signal cannot be
canceled by running the wire through plastic or metal piping.
Using shielded cable in place of the Boundary Wire will also not
cancel the signal. Refer to figure (3C) for the correct method of
twisting the wire. 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
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.
Strip approximately 3/8 inch of insulation off the ends of the
Boundary Wires to be spliced (3D). 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 (3E). 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 (3F). Snap
the lid of the capsule shut (3G). 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.

Additional Boundary Wire

Extra direct burial Boundary Wire can be purchased
in 500 foot spools at the store where you purchased
the kit or through the Customer Care Center at
1-800-732-2677.
Note: When adding Boundary Wire, 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.
