Prepare the Transmitter

1. Place the wire break locator transmitter

in a convenient location near your

fence transmitter.

2. Unplug the power adaptor to the

fence transmitter.

3. Disconnect the twisted boundary wire from

your fence transmitter and connect it to the

wire break locator transmitter. Press the

red tabs on the bottom of the transmitter

labeled LOOP (1A) and insert the 2 twisted

boundary wires into the terminals (1B).

Prepare the Stakes

Note: The system requires 2 separate

grounding wires to be connected from the

transmitter to individual grounding stakes that

are placed in the ground.

1. Using the spool of wire supplied, strip

3⁄8 in. (1 cm) of insulation from one end

of the spool. Press one of the black tabs

on the transmitter labeled GROUND

(1A) and insert the stripped end into the

terminal (2A).

2. Next, slip your finger through the wire spool

and unroll the wire by allowing the spool

to rotate on your finger as you walk away

from the transmitter.

3. Once you are outside, cut the wire from

the spool and strip 2 in. (5 cm) of insulation

from the end of the wire in order to connect

it to the grounding stake.

Note: It is recommended to keep the

ground wire as short as possible by

trimming off any excess wire between the

transmitter and the outside location of the

grounding stake.

4. Place the wire through the small hole in

the grounding stake and twist the wire

tightly (2B). Securely wrap the wire around

the stake so the copper makes a solid

connection with the metal (2C).

5. Place the stake on the ground for now

and repeat the steps above for the other

grounding stake.

Ground the Stakes

Note: For proper electrical grounding, the

ground must be wet. You may need to pour

several gallons/liters of water around the

grounding stakes in order to moisten dry

ground.

1. Position the 2 grounding stakes at least

2–3 ft. (0.6–1 m) apart from each other

and insert them into the ground about

8 in. deep (20 cm) with about 2 in. (5 cm)

remaining out of the ground.

2. Recheck the LOOP and GROUND wire

connections at the transmitter and verify

that they are securely installed.

3. Connect the power adaptor to the power

jack on the side of the transmitter and then

plug the power adaptor into a working

outlet. The green power light will turn on,

indicating that power is supplied.
