To Splice Or Repair The Boundary Wire - Dogtek EF-4000 Guía De Uso

Separate the wire by at least 6 feet from a
metallic gate or 3 feet from a metallic fence.
Do not install the antenna wire near an
electrical cable, telephone cable, television cable or
satellite dish.
In order to prevent
any interference, do not
run the wire within 6 feet
or parallel to electrical
cables. If you must
cross electrical wires,
telephone wires or television cables, do so at 90
degree angles.
If you need
more than 500 feet
of antenna wire, you
must connect the
different lengths
of wire using the supplied connectors. You can
purchase additional wire and connectors from
DOGTEK or your retailer.
To ensure your dog does not receive any
warning or stimulation in certain areas (e.g.
between the transmitter in the garage and the edge
of your property) you have to twist the outward
wire around the inward wire. The twists prevent
radio waves from being emitted.
TO SPLICE OR REPAIR THE
BOUNDARY WIRE
If you need additional Boundary Wire to
expand your wire loop, you will need to splice the
wires together. Note the locations of all splices for
future reference. Most Boundary Wire breaks occur
at splices.
Strip approximately 3⁄8 inch of insulation off the
ends of the Boundary Wires to be spliced (A). Make
sure the copper Boundary Wire is not corroded. If
the Boundary Wire is corroded, cut it back to expose
clean copper wire.
Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut and
twist the wire nut around the wires. Ensure that
there is no copper exposed beyond the end of the

wire nut. Tie a knot 3 to 4 inches from the wire nut
(B). Ensure that the wire nut is secure on the wire
splice.
Once you have securely spliced the wires
together, open the lid of the gel-filled splice capsule
and insert the wire nut as deeply as possible into
the waterproof gel inside the capsule (C).
Snap the lid of the capsule shut (D). For proper
system performance, the splice connection must be
waterproof.
If your splice pulls loose, the entire system will
fail. Make sure your splice is secure. Additional gel-
filled splice capsules and wire nuts are available on
our website www.dogtek.com.
Once you are done with the loop, strip off the
ends of the wires and insert both ends into the
antenna socket.
