Step 4: Position, Twist and Splice the Boundary Wire

Once you have designed your layout, the next step is
to position the wire along your property. Hold off on
burying the wire until you have tested the system first.
1. Start with one end of the wire at the transmitter, but
do not plug it in yet. Run the wire outdoors all the
way around your planned perimeter and back to
the transmitter.
2. You will need to twist the 2 wires together for the area
running from the transmitter inside your home out
to the garden so that your pet can cross this section
without a stimulation. Twisting both ends of the wire
together 30 times per metre cancels the signal. Keep
in mind that crossover areas will only work when set
up within the containment area. Straight crossover
breaks along the perimeter, such as across driveways
(4A), cannot be created and the signal will not be
cancelled.
3. The fastest way to twist 2 wires is to cut 2 pieces a
little longer than the length you need, twist them, and
then "splice" in that section. Anchor one end of the 2
wires to something secure, and insert the other end
into a power drill. Pull the wire taut and then use the
drill to slowly twist the wire. Follow the splicing guide
below to learn how to reconnect this twisted portion
back to the main boundary wire.
Splicing Guide
Although not required, it is recommended that you cut
and splice the wire between each twisted section. Your
Basic In-Ground Fence
capsules to ensure that your splices are waterproof. You
can give us a call if you would like to purchase more gel-
filled capsules.
a. Strip approximately 1 cm of insulation off the ends
of the wires to be spliced (4B).
b. Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut and twist
the wire nut around the wires. Make sure there is
no copper exposed beyond the end of the wire nut.
c. Tie a knot 7.5 cm–10 cm from the wire nut (4C). Ensure that the wire nut is secure on the wire splice.
d. Once you have securely spliced the wires together, open the lid of the gel-filled capsule and insert the
wire nut as deeply as possible into the waterproof gel inside the capsule (4D).
e. Snap the lid of the capsule shut (4E).
Additional Boundary Wire
Extra spools of boundary wire can be
purchased in lengths of 150 m per spool
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 on the right indicates the approximate
length of boundary wire needed for a square,
single loop layout. The length will vary due to
the amount of twisted wire and the layout used.
