Position The Boundary Wire - Guardian Fence Guía De Uso

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. 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
Boundary Wire
10 feet of electrical wires, neighboring containment

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

To Twist the Boundary Wire
Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your pet to
3B
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. The signal cannot be cancelled by running the
wire through plastic or metal piping. Splicing shielded cable to the
Boundary Wire will also not cancel the signal. Refer to fi gure (3C) for
the correct method for twisting the wire. 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 10 to
12 times per foot 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
3C
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 3 ⁄ inch of insulation off the ends of
8
the Boundary Wires to be spliced (3D). 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
3D
around the wires. Ensure that there is no copper exposed beyond the
end of the wire nut. Tie a knot 3 to 4 inches from the wire nut (3E).
3/8" 3/8"
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 (3F). Snap the lid
of the capsule shut (3G). 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 Center.
