Position The Boundary Wire - Petsafe PCF-1000-20 Manual De Adiestramiento Y Funcionamiento

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 cat 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, keeping the wire separated 1 to 1.5 meters
(3 to 5 feet). 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

Step
3
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.
Running the Boundary Wire parallel to and within 1.5 m (5 ft) of electrical wires, neighboring 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).
If separating the wire by at least 1.5 m (5 ft) from a neighboring containment system's wire does not reduce the
inconsistent signal, contact the Customer Care Centre.
To Twist the Boundary Wire (3A)
Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your cat to cross over that area without correction. Plastic
or metal piping will not cancel the signal. Twist the Boundary Wire 30 times per meter (10 times per foot) to cancel
the signal.
To Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire (3B)
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 1.3 cm (1/2 in) of insulation off the ends of the Boundary Wires to be spliced. 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. Pull on the wires to make sure
you have a strong splice connection. Apply waterproofi ng compound (e.g. silicone caulk) in and around the wire nut
or wrap the wires and the wire nuts with electrical tape to prevent moisture from corroding the copper.
If your splice pulls loose, the entire system will fail. Make sure your splice is secure.
