Petsafe Innotek UltraSmart Contain ‘n’ Train In-Ground Fence - Manual (Page 10)

Customized Loops. You can create off limit areas, such as
pools and gardens by encircling the area with wire. Run
twisted wire from the fence loop to the encircled area, and
splice the ends together.
2. Rounding Corners
Use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum of 0.8m
radius.This will produce a more consistent pet fencing field.
3. Placing the wire
The wire must make a continuous loop from the
transmitter and back again. The signal passes from one
transmitter terminal around the loop and back to the
transmitter again. Keep in the mind that you will want an
3-4m pet fencing signal field from your wire, so don't run
the wire too close to the house and make passageways too
narrow for your dog to pass.
4. Twisted Wire
Twisted wire cancels the radio signal coming from your
transmitter. This enables your dog to cross over the wire in
the safe part of the yard. Where there is single wire, the
fence is active and your dog will be unable to pass. Your kit
may have come with FasTrak pre-twisted wire or you can
purchase it as a separate kit.
You can twist your own wire by cutting two equal lengths
of wire supplied and twisting them together. Anchor one
end of the wires to something secure and insert the other
end in a power drill. Pull wire taut. The drill enables you to
twist the wire quickly. You will need at least 12 twists per
30cm to effectively cancel the radio signal.
IMPORTANT TIPS
DO NOT run wire within 3m or parallel to cable TV, phone
or electrical lines. The signals can couple together, causing
inadvertent collar activation in the house and safe parts of
the yard.
The wire must form one continuous loop from the
transmitter.
Work carefully. A nick in the wire can diminish signal
strength and create a weak area where your dog can
escape.
Use twisted wire to run between the transmitter and the
interior loops, such as around pools and gardens. This will
allow your dog to safely pass around these areas.
(Reference Custom Loop illustration.)
1. Splicing to the boundary wire – Pull the twisted wire
to the perimeter location of the two ends of your boundary
wire loop. Splice the
ends of the twisted wire
to the ends of the
boundary wire with the
supplied waterproof
splices as shown. Use only waterproof splices supplied
with this system. Additional splices are available at
www.INNOTEK.net. Use of wire nuts alone, electrical tape
or solder will not provide a waterproof and secure
connection for your system to function properly long-term.
To use the gel-filled capsule splice, strip 1.5cm of
insulation from the wire ends. Insert ends of wire into nut
and twist to secure. Insert the wire nut as deeply as
possible into the waterproof gel and snap the lid shut. Tie
a knot in the wires as shown in Quick Step #4 to avoid
having the wires pull free during installation.
Only two wires can go into one splice.
2. Bring outside wire to transmitter – From the outside,
push the twisted pair of wires through the hole in the wall.
Strip about 1.5cm of insulation from the two ends. Insert
ends into loop wire spring-loaded terminals marked on the
transmitter.
3. Plug transmitter in – Use supplied power adapter and
plug adapter into the jack provided on the transmitter. Plug
the power adapter into a 220v wall outlet. Set transmitter
power switch to the ON position. The green light should
illuminate on your transmitter indicating a properly
installed boundary loop. If the light does not come on, refer
to the Training and Troubleshooting Guide.
Place the power cord wire under the wire retention tab of
the housing.
