20ga Underground Fence Wire
(150 meters)
The diagrams on p.19 are indicated for a rectangular layout.
Actual flag/wire requirements may vary depending on the layout you've chosen.
You will want to keep a signal field (area where the dog will receive stimulation)
at least 180 - 240 cm on each side of the wire.
In addition, your dog will keep 60 - 120 cm away from the signal field, so an
overall signal field of 240 -360 cm is preferred. Avoid making passageways that
are too narrow (i.e. along the sides on a house) or your dog may hesitate from
using them.
Tools
To install your E-Fence 3500, you will need a flat-edge spade, Phillips
screwdriver and a wire cutter/stripper. If your layout calls for the wires to be
connected across concrete, you will also need a caulking gun, exterior silicon
caulk and a circular saw with a masonry blade for cutting the pavement.

Boundary Training Flags (50 ea)
Creating a Neutral Zone in the Boundary
You must create a neutral zone from the
fence transmitter to the beginning of the
fence so the signals do not cross over to
any existing utility wires. Start by twisting
the two pieces of fence wire so they are
braided from the beginning of the neutral
zone area to the end. Braiding the two wires
will interrupt the signal of the buried fence,
thus creating an area for your dog to cross
without getting stimulation. To braid the
fence wire, hold the two wires side by side,
and twist them around each other. This can
also be done by securing the two wire ends
in the opening of a drill and letting the drill twist the wires for you. The tighter the
wires are twisted, the better the signal cancellation. Braiding the two wires will
interrupt the signal of the boundary wire, thus creating a neutral zone.
Burying the Fence Wire
IMPORTANT
Before starting any digging, contact your local phone, gas and power companies
to locate any other buried services.
The E-Fence 3500 boundary wire does not have to be buried to operate. For
protective measures we highly recommend the wire be buried about 7 - 10 cm
underground. Begin by digging a 10 cm deep cut where the wire first enters the
ground near the transmitter and continue around the path of the loop wire. A 30-
to 45-degree angle cut made with a flat-edge spade will be easiest to close.
Note : When covering a large area, a trenching machine may be used to cut into
the ground. However, it is recommended that the wire be placed in the trench by
hand. A commercial wire-placing machine may damage the wire.
