Additional Boundary Wire
We recommend the use of 20 gauge insulated multi-strand copper
wire for direct burial. Extra Boundary Wire can be purchased in 500
foot spools at the store where you purchased the kit or through the
Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.
Note: When adding Boundary Wire, it must act as a continuous loop.
The table at right indicates the approximate length of Boundary Wire
needed for a rectangular, Single Loop layout. Length will vary due to
the amount of twisted wire and layout used. Remember that a Double
Loop will require twice as much wire.

Connect the Wires to the Fence Transmitter
Boundary Wire (4A)
1. Run the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter through a window, under
a door, through a crawl space vent, or any other appropriate available access.
You can also drill a hole through your wall.
2. Strip the ends of the Boundary Wire approximately one-half inch.
3. Insert the Boundary Wires into the Boundary Wire Terminals on the Fence
Transmitter.
4. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10. This will set the Warning
Zone at the maximum width.
5. Plug the Power Adapter into the Power Jack and a 120-volt outlet.
6. The Power Light and Loop Indicator Lights should come on. If this does not
happen, see the “Troubleshooting” section.

Ground Wire (4B)
Proper grounding, although not necessary for the system to work, will help
reduce the chance of electrical surges causing damage to your Fence Transmitter
and/or Power Adapter. To ground your unit, you will need a solid (not stranded)
Ground Wire (14 to 18 gauge insulated copper wire) and a ground rod with
clamp, which may be obtained at most electrical supply stores. Connect one end
of the Ground Wire to the Ground Terminal located on the Fence Transmitter
and the other end of the Ground Wire to the ground rod. The ground rod must
be buried at least three feet into the ground and located as close as possible to the
Fence Transmitter.

Fuse Protection (4C)
The Fence Transmitter is also equipped with a 250 volt, ½ amp fuse to protect
the unit’s electronic circuitry from electrical power surges. To locate the fuse, slide
off the lid on the back of the Fence Transmitter. A spare fuse is also provided.
Lightning Protection
You may purchase a Lightning Protection Kit through the Customer Care Center
at 1-800-732-2677. The Lightning Protection Kit protects the system against
surges that travel through the power source and/or the Boundary Wire. If you use
a Lightning Protection Kit, the Ground Wire must be removed from the Fence
Transmitter. The Lightning Protection Kit utilizes a ground connection separate
from the Fence Transmitter.
