Base Station and Perimeter Wire Setup
Determining Perimeter Switch Location2.8.1
Consider the following in order to install the Perimeter Switch at its optimal
location:
Perimeter Switch is installed outside the perimeter of the non-Base zone. ❍
Select an easily accessed spot. ❍
Prefer a dry and sheltered location. ❍
The Perimeter Switch is to be mounted vertically. ❍
The vertical mounting maintains Perimeter Switch water resistance
qualities.
The Perimeter Switch is supplied with an indoor power supply. Chose a ❍
location close to the electrical outlet.
Perimeter Switch placing options:2.9
The Perimeter Switch connector is easily mounted and dismounted. This ❍
allows for quick switching from one zone to another.
You may use the large stake attached to the back of The Perimeter ❍
Switch to easily insert it and pull it out of the ground.
You may mount the Perimeter Switch on a vertical surface, such as ❍
a wall or deck railing. Use the three small bosses on the back of the
switch cover.
Laying Out the Perimeter Wire 2.10
The perimeter wire setups in a Base and non-Base zone are almost identical.
Still, there are some special instructions for
connecting Perimeter Switch to the Perimeter Wire.
At Perimeter Switch’ location: ■
Peg/fix the beginning section of wire near the ❍
Perimeter Switch.
Lay the Perimeter Wire from the Perimeter Switch ■
to the lawn.
Remember to leave some loose wire at the
beginning, in order to close the loop later.
Start laying the wire in a counterclockwise ■
direction.
