Additional Boundary Wire
Extra direct burial Boundary Wire can be purchased in 150 m (500 feet)
spools at the store where you purchased the kit or through the Customer
Care Centre.
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. Remember that a Double
Loop will require twice as much wire.

Connect the Wires to the Fence Transmitter

Boundary Wire
1. Run the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter through a window, under a door,
through a crawl space vent, or any other appropriate available access. You can also
drill a hole through your wall.
2. Strip the ends of the Boundary Wire approximately 1.3 cm (
3. Insert the Boundary Wires into the Boundary Wire Terminals on the Fence
Transmitter. Make sure wires do not touch each other at the terminals.
4. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10. This will set the Warning Zone at the
maximum width.
5. Plug the Power Adapter into the Power Socket and a working outlet. The Power
Adapter comes with the North American plug installed and additional plugs for the
UK and Europe. To change the plug:
a. Push in the tab on the Power Adapter and remove the plug by
sliding it off as shown (4B).
b. Slide the proper plug for your electrical outlet onto the Power
Adapter as shown (4C).
6. The Power Light and Loop Indicator Lights should come on. If this
does not happen, see the "Troubleshooting" section.
Ground Wire
Proper grounding, although not necessary for the system to work, will help reduce the
chance of electrical surges causing damage to your Fence Transmitter and/or Power
Adapter. To ground your unit, you will need a solid (not stranded) Ground Wire (14 to
18 gauge insulated copper wire) and a ground rod with clamp, which may be obtained
at most electrical supply stores. Connect one end of the Ground Wire to the Ground
Terminal located on the Fence Transmitter and the other end of the Ground Wire to
the ground rod. The ground rod must be buried at least three feet into the ground and
located as close as possible to the Fence Transmitter.
Fuse Protection
The Fence Transmitter is also equipped with a 250 volt, ½ amp fuse to protect the unit's
electronic circuitry from electrical power surges. To locate the fuse, slide off the lid on
the back of the Fence Transmitter. A spare fuse is also provided.
