Sample 6 (2J): Wire Loop Attached to Existing Fence (Double Loop)
This layout allows you to include your existing fence as part of your
layout and keep your pet from jumping out or digging under your
existing fence. It reduces the amount of wire which will need to be
buried. Run the wire from the Fence Transmitter to A, A to B, B
to C, C to D, D to E, E to F, make a U-turn and follow your path
all the way back to A, keeping the wire separated 1-1.5 m (3-5 ft.).
Twist the wire from A back to the Fence Transmitter. See the “Install
the Boundary Wire” section for more information on attaching the
wire to a fence.

Position the Boundary Wire
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.
Running the Boundary Wire parallel to and within 1.5 m (5 ft) of electrical wires,
neighbouring containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables,
or satellite dishes may cause an inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of these,
do so at 90-degree angles (perpendicularly).
If separating the wire by at least 1.5 m (5 ft) from a neighboring containment system’s
wire does not reduce the inconsistent signal, contact the Customer Care Centre.
To Twist the Boundary Wire (3A)
Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your pet to cross over that area
without correction. Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal. Twist the Boundary
Wire 30 times per metre (10 times per foot) to cancel the signal.
To Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire (3B)
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. Most Boundary Wire
breaks occur at splices.
Strip approximately 1.3 cm (1/2 in) of insulation off the ends of the Boundary Wires to
be spliced. 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.
Pull on the wires to make sure you have a strong splice connection. Apply waterproofi ng
compound (e.g. silicone caulk) in and around the wire nut or wrap the wires and the wire
nuts with electrical tape to prevent moisture from corroding the copper.
If your splice pulls loose, the entire system will fail. Make sure your splice is secure.
