How To Twist Wire - Sunbeam in-ground fencing system Instruction Manual

HoW to tWIst WIRe

Twisting two Boundary Wires together causes the radio signal to cancel out . The
Boundary Wire should be twisted 10 to 12 times per foot to cancel the signal. In
the areas where you install Twisted Wire you will create a Safe Spot where the dog
can walk without being corrected by the Receiver Collar. For example, the wire
that connects the Base Transmitter to your outer Boundary Wire should be Twisted
Wire and should not warn or correct your dog . Mark on your plan layout where
your Twisted Wire is located for future reference.
Twisted Wire cannot be part of your main loop. The main purpose for Twisted Wire is to join the main loop to the Base
Transmitter (fig. 8). You can also use Twisted Wire to connect the Exclusion Zones to the main Boundary Wire (fig 9).

CREATE TWISTEd WIRE
You can create Twisted Wire by using household items such as an empty
toilet paper holder and a pen or a PVC pipe and a socket wrench .
• Loop the wire around an anchor point . (fig. 10)
• Insert the wire into the cylinder and thread through the other end. (fig. 11)
• Attach the end of the wire to a pen or a socket wrench.
• T wist the wire until you feel the wire is twisted enough that it will not
untwist when released. (fig. 12)
• R elease the wire from the pen or socket wrench. When you first release the wire it will unravel a little bit.
