Alternative Method for finding dog fence wire breaks |
| 1. |
Connect both ends of your twisted boundary wire to the first terminal on your transmitter. |
| 2. |
Measure and cut a new piece of boundary wire that is 1/2 the length of your boundary loop. |
| 3. |
Connect the new wire to the second terminal on the transmitter. |
| 4. |
Locate the half- way point along your boundary loop. |
| 5. |
Cut your boundary loop at the half-way point. |
| 6. |
Connect the free end of your new piece of wire to either side of your boundary loop at the half way point. |
| 7. |
Turn the system on and check the range of this smaller loop with the receiver collar. |
| 8. |
If there is no improvement in the performance of your system, you may assume that there is a break in this portion of your boundary. Because there is a small chance you have more than one break in your loop, you should also try the same procedure for the other side of your loop. |
| 9. |
Once you determine a section of your boundary loop has a break in it, find the middle of that section and cut the wire. Be sure to re-splice the first cut that you made and make it waterproof by caulking with silicone. |
| 10. |
Connect the new wire to your boundary loop at the point at which you made the cut in STEP 9. |
| 11. |
Turn the system on and check the range of this smaller loop with the receiver collar. |
| 12. |
Repeat STEPS 8 - 11 until you find the damaged section of wire. |
| 13. |
Replace damaged wire with new wire. |
