Multivet Virtual Fence DSP13201 User Manual page 6

Note: Avoid running the boundary wire close to chain link fences. If crossing chain link fences,
do so at right angles, after crossing continue for at least 5 feet before running parallel with other
cables or metal fencing.
Step 3: Splicing
Note: If you use more than the 150 m (500') of wire, you will need to splice the wire together
with the wire nuts.
Very Important: Be sure to note location of all splices in the space provided at the end of this
manual. Most wire breaks occur near the splices. Keep manual in a safe place for further
reference.
Begin by stripping both ends of the wire to be spliced. Insert stripped ends into the wire nut and
twist, then pull making sure of a solid connection. Apply water-proofing compound (like silicon)
in and around wire nut. After the compound dries, you may also want to wrap wires and wire nut
with electrical tape to prevent them from pulling loose and to protect from moisture.
CAUTION: If your splice or connection pulls loose, your entire system will fail. Make sure of a
secure connection.
Step 4: Crossing hard surfaces.
If you have to cross concrete, brick or asphalt surfaces, either lay the wire in a convenient
expansion joint or use a circular saw with a masonry blade to create a groove. Place the wire in
groove and cover with an appropriate patching compound. Your local hardware store can help
you choose the right compound for your type of driveway.
Step 5: Hooking up your transmitter
Wires to and from the terminals (Less than 1000 feet or more than 1000 feet terminals) need to be
tightly twisted (at least 25 to 32 twists per meter is recommended.)
Standard Transmitter:
One end of the fence wire must be connected to the red connector of one terminal and the other
one to the black connector of that same terminal. With the system on and the range adjuster knob
turned all the way up (to the right, clockwise), measure how far you can pick up a signal by
walking toward your boundary wire holding the receiver/collar. You will know you have picked
up the signal by the beeping sound the receiver makes.
Step 6: Grounding
WARNING :
Transmitters are highly susceptible to lightning damage. To avoid lightning damage,
always disconnect both loop wires and unplug transmitter if you expect an approaching storm.
