To Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire

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.
Strip approximately

⁄

inch of insulation off the ends of 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 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). Ensure that the wire nut is secure on the

wire splice.

3/8" 3/8"

Once you have securely spliced the wires together, open the lid of the gel-filled

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-filled splice capsules and wire nuts are available through

the Customer Care Center.
