Option
You
can
customize
the
size
and
shape
of
your
barrier.
This
section
discusses laying
an
external
wire
which
attaches
to
the
Barrier
Transmitter.
The
signal will
transmit
through
the
wire,
instead
of
through
the
Barrier
Transmitter,
at
a
range
up
to
12 feet
from
the
outside
of
the
wire.
You
can
create
a
barrier
using
up
to
150
feet
of
Boundary
Wire.
Use
wire
that
is
rated
for
direct
burial.

Tips
Warning:
Before
installing
the
Boundary
Wire,
make
sure
that
there
are
no
buried
power,
telephone,
or
other
electrical
cables
in
the
vicinity.
Many
underground
cables
carry
high
voltage
and
digging
into
them,
or
laying
your
Boundary
Wire
on
them,
may
lead
to
hazard
from
shock
or
electrocution.
Have
the
local
utility
company
mark
your
underground
lines.
In
most
communities
this
is
a
free
service.
When
determining
your
wire
layout
it
is
important
to
remember
that
you
will
need
to
set
the
range
to
a
minimum
of
3
segments
(3A)
when
using
the
wire
option.
The
segments
indicate
the
barrier
range.
If
the
range
is
set
to
1
or
2
segments,
the
signal
will
not
be
great
enough
to
be
picked
up
by
the
Receiver
Collar.
Refer
to
the
chart
below
for
the
approximate
range
of
the
signal
from
the
outside
of
the
wire
for
each
segment.
Segment
Range
from
Wire
3
3 feet
4
5 feet
5
8 feet
6 12 feet
The
range
will
vary
depending
on
the
type
of
layout.
Once
you
lay
out
your
desired
barrier
continue
to
Step
2
and
3
before
burying
the
wire.
It
is
important
that
you
test
the
system
and
make
adjustments
to
your
layout
before
burying
the
boundary
wire.
This
will
make
any
layout
changes
easier.
Work
carefully. A
nick
in
the
wire
insulation
can
diminish
the
signal
strength
and
create
a
weak
area
where
your
pet
can
enter
the
barrier
area.
