- 1). Stretch the wire out along the path desired. Splice any additional sections of wire into the line as necessary to obtain a solid line from start to finish. Trim one inch of rubber material from the ends of the wires with a wire splicer and twist any splices together. Wrap the exposed wire with electrical tape.
- 2). Trim approximately one inch of rubber material from the ends of the completed loop of wire. Attach the wire to the proper location on the main control unit. Loosen the retaining screw at the base of the unit with a screwdriver, wrap the exposed wire around the screw, and tighten the screw down.
- 3). Plug the unit into an available outlet. Test the system by turning it on following the specific instructions included with the unit's packaging. Any failure of the fence to function properly typically indicates the wire loop is not complete. Trace the wire and repair any damaged locations with a wire splice, as described in step 1.
- 4). Dig beneath the wire to a depth of one to two inches. Press the wire into the ground and cover with dirt. Crossing driveways or cement paths requires cutting a line in the cement with a saw and diamond-tipped saw blade. Press the wire into the groove cut by the saw and fill the groove with a sealant caulk.
- 5). Mount the main unit to the wall with a drill and self-tapping screws as desired. Some units can be mounted to a vertical pole with included hardware.
