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.

Surge Protection
Lightning strikes that occur even several miles away from your installation can create power surges or spikes which
may damage your unprotected electronic pet containment system. The Surge Protector included with this system
is designed to protect your In-Ground Fence
connection and/or your buried Boundary Wire.

WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
10
™
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the storm is close enough for you to hear thunder,
it is close enough to create hazardous surges.
• Turn off power to outlet before you install or remove your Surge Protector.
• Risk of electrical shock or fire. Use Surge Protector only with a duplex outlet with center screw.
Attach unit with long screw supplied.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter and Surge Protector indoors in dry location only.
• Do not install the Surge Protector if there is not at least 30 feet (10 meters) or more of wire between the
electrical outlet and electrical service panel.
• If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter). In rare cases, nearby lightning
strikes may cause the GFCI to trip. Without power your dog may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the GFCI to
restore power to the system.
• Plug the Surge Protector into a grounded (3-prong) outlet that is within 5 feet of the Fence Transmitter.
ALWAYS use a grounded (3-prong) outlet to ensure maximum protection.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the Surge Protector plug. Do not use a 3-prong plug to 2-prong outlet converter.
Doing so will make the Surge Protector ineffective against surges or spikes.
