Basic Planning Tips

WARNING
For information regarding how these underground wires can affect your system's operation, see Step 3
Position the Boundary Wire.
• The Boundary Wire MUST start at the Fence
Transmitter and make a continuous loop
back (2A).
• Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the
signal and allows your pet to cross over that
area without correction. Plastic or metal
piping will not cancel the signal. Twist the
Boundary Wire 10 to 12 times per foot to
cancel the signal (2A).
• Design a layout that is suitable for your yard.
Sample layouts are provided in this section,
and a grid for designing your layout is
provided in the back of this guide.
• Always use gradual turns at the corners with
a minimum of 3 foot radius to produce a
more consistent boundary (2B). Do not use sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in your boundary.
• To properly contain your pet, we recommend setting a Boundary Width for the Warning and Static Correction
Zones to approximately 12-20 feet (6 to 10 feet on each side of the wire).
• Avoid making passageways too narrow for your pet to move about freely (e.g., along the sides of a house).
• The Receiver Collar can be activated inside the house if the Boundary Wire runs along the outside wall of the
house. If this occurs, remove your pet's Receiver Collar before bringing him inside, decrease the range using the
Boundary Width Control knob or consider an alternate layout.

Sample Layouts

2C
Sample 1: Perimeter Loop (Single Loop) The Perimeter Loop
is the most common layout. This will allow your pet to freely and
safely roam your entire property (2C). It can also protect gardens,
pools and landscaping (2D).
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to bury your wire. In most areas this
is a free service. Avoid these cables when you dig.

Sample 2 (2E): Perimeter
Loop Using Existing Fence
(Single 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.
From the Fence Transmitter,
run the wire to A, A to B,
B to C, C to D, D to E, E to
A, twist the wires from A
back to the Fence Transmitter. See the "Install the Boundary
Wire" section for more information on attaching the
wire to a fence.
