Install the Boundary Wire
To Bury the Boundary Wire
Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.
1. Cut a trench 1 to 3 inches deep along your planned boundary.
2. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with
temperature variations.
3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the trench. Be careful not to
damage the Boundary Wire.
To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence
The Boundary Wire of the PetSafe ® Deluxe In-Ground Cat Fence ™ can be attached to a chain link fence, split rail
fence, or a wooden privacy fence. The Boundary Wire can be attached as high as needed. However, make sure the
Boundary Width is set at a high enough range for your cat to receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with an
existing fence at least 3 feet tall, run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence
to get the
5 foot separation needed.
• Chain Link Fence (7A): Weave Boundary Wire through the links or use plastic quick ties.
• Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (7A): Use staples to attach Boundary Wire. Avoid puncturing the
insulation of the Boundary Wire.
• Double Loop with an Existing Fence: Run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom
of the fence to get the 3 to 5 foot separation needed.
• Gate (Single Loop) (7B): Bury the Boundary Wire in the ground across the gate opening. Note: The signal is still
active across gate. Your cat cannot pass through an open gate.
• Gate (Double Loop) (7B): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate opening while keeping them 3 to 5 feet
apart.
