Completing and Testing the Setup
Once the perimeter wire is completed and pegged to the ground, the
last step to complete is attaching the Perimeter Switch to the perime-
ter wires and testing the setup.
1. Pull the two loose perimeter wire leads taut and peg them down
to the ground (figure 1.35), adjacent to one another, as you
move away from the perimeter and towards the Perimeter
Switch location (use the same pegs to attach the two wires from
the lawn to the Perimeter Switch location).
2. At the location of the perimeter switch, cut the loose perimeter
wire so both wires are of equal length, removing any excess wi-
re.
3. Strip back 5 mm (0.2 in) of insulation from the wire end.
4. Insert the wire end to the free
hole in the connector and tigh-
ten the screws.
5. Plug the perimeter wire con-
nector into the Perimeter
Switch.
6. Take the Perimeter Switch and
squeeze the tabs on both si-
des of the Perimeter Switch.
7. Remove the back cover from the Perimeter Switch.
8. Connect the power supply plug
to the Perimeter Switch board
and reassemble the Perimeter
Switch.
9. Connect the power supply to a regular household receptacle
230 Volts AC.
