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,
(3-5 ft). 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 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 3 m (10 ft) of electrical wires,
neighbouring containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or
satellite dishes may cause an inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of these, do
so at 90-degree angles (perpendicularly). (3A)
If separating the wire by at least 3 m (10 ft) from a neighbouring containment system's
wire does not reduce the inconsistent signal, contact the Customer Care Centre.

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
30 times per metre (10 to 12 times per ft) to cancel the signal. Once you have completed your
boundary layout, insert the twisted wire and insert 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. Most Boundary Wire breaks
occur at splices.
Strip approximately 1 cm (
(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 7.5-10 cm (3-4") from
the wire nut (3D). 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-fi lled 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-fi lled splice capsules and wire nuts are available through the Customer Care Centre.
