User Manual

• Do NOT bury the loop within 10 feet parallel to
electrical, telephone, cable TV, or other buried
wire in the yard.
• Do NOT bury one section of wire within 10 feet
of another section or the signal may cancel.
• Do NOT bury your wire within 10 feet of a
n e i g h b o r ing containment system’s boundary
wire.
2. Position the Wire in the Yard - The above
recommendations may cause you to modify
your layout, but it will be time well spent. When
your layout is finalized, place the wire around
your property according to your diagram. The
wire loop should begin and end at a perimeter
location closest to the location of the transmitter.
This will minimize the amount of twisted wire
needed to connect the boundary wire to the
transmitter.
DO NOT BURY THE WIRE UNTIL YOU HAVE
TESTED THE SYSTEM AND ARE SURE IT IS
WORKING PROPERLY. TAKE CARE NOT TO
NICK OR SCRAPE THE WIRE INSULATION
DURING THE INSTALLATION. AN INTERMIT-
TENT SIGNAL OR NO SIGNAL MAY OCCUR.
E.Making the Final Connections
After the wall transmitter has been installed in a
protected area and the boundary wire is in place,
the final connections must be made.
1. Bringing the Outside Wire to the Wall
Transmitter - From the outside, push the twist-
ed pair of wires through the hole in the exterior
wall. A small piece of electrical tape wrapped
around the end of the wire will keep it from
untwisting in the wall. Push a sufficient length of
wire through the wall to reach the wall transmit-
ter. Strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from each
wire and insert them into the wire terminals on
the wall transmitter by depressing the tabs on
the terminals and inserting one wire in each ter-
minal. Position the wire along the wall as
desired and push excess wire back out through
the hole in the wall.
2. Splicing to the Boundary Wire - Pull the
twisted pair wire to the perimeter location of the
boundary wire. Make sure that the wire length is
adequate to route wire along the outside wall
and bury before cutting. Splice the ends of the
twisted wire to the ends of the boundary with the
supplied waterproof splices.
WARNING: Use only the waterproof splices
(approved for direct burial) supplied with this
system. If additional splices are required, they
may be purchased from Innotek. Using non-
waterproof electrical tape, solder, or twisted wire
nuts will cause an intermittent signal or disable
the system. The waterproof splices included in
your containment system are designed to pro-
vide a sealed connection between the wires.
Waterproof Splices–Your containment system
includes one of two different styles of waterproof
splices that are designed to provide a sealed
connection between the wires. Refer to the fol-
lowing illustrations to identify the splices includ-
ed with your system.
Gel-Filled Capsule Splice–To use the gel-filled
capsule splice, strip 5/8 inch of insulation from
the ends of the wires you are joining. With the
ends of the wires even and together, place the
wire nut over the wire ends and turn the wire nut
clockwise until it is securely fastened. Snap
open the hinged lid of the gel-filled capsule and
insert the wire nut as deeply as possible into the
waterproof gel. Snap the lid shut, making sure
the wires exit the splice on either side. Tie a
knot in the wires as shown in the diagram to
prevent them from pulling out of the gel-filled
capsule when the wire is buried.
Black Cap Splice–To use the black cap splice,
a single boundary wire is placed into one of the
three holes of the spliced.The insulation on the
boundary wire should not be stripped before
