Invisible Fence Brand systems only ® work when all of the signal field wire, Pre-Twisted (neutral) wire (including the loop (boundary) wire and the pre-twisted pair), forms one continuous closed circuit.
- Page 8 Color Code Chart for Marking Utilities: Electric Gas – Oil Communications Water Sewer Running Twisted Pair (neutral) wire Twisted pair is two lengths of the same signal field loop wire, one carrying the signal out from the transmitter; the other carrying it back to the transmitter. You can identify these as the brownish/red wire and a black wire ‘twisted’...

- Page 10 The perimeter (boundary) wire does not have to be buried to work, but should be buried to protect the wire from the elements and other entities that may cause the wire to break. 1. Dig the trench for your perimeter (boundary) wire using the spade or gas powered edger and push your perimeter (boundary) wire in the trench as you move around your yard - beginning where your twisted pair ended.
- Page 11 a. Concrete and Asphalt driveways - Make a straight line using a chalk line to make the cut easier to follow. Using a mason blade, run the circular saw or gas powered cut-off saw, along the line making sure to clean out the debris and dust from the newly cut joint.

Hold the two wires parallel to each other and tie an overhand knot (there should be about 3 inches of space between the knot and the spliced wires. Place a wire nut over the spliced wires and twist until the wire nut does not spin.

To do this, tape the top of the cover plate to the wall, and then remove the cover plate center screw.
- Page 16 Step 4: Determine the length of wire needed to pass from the Surge Protector to the ICT Fence Transmitter. Measure and cut the length of twisted pair wires, then strip approximately 3/8-inch of insulation at both ends. Step 5: Insert the ends of the transmitter wires into the right 2 black connectors at the bottom of the Surge Protector labeled “Transmitter”.

As described in the LP 4200 Step 6 (and shown below), insert the opposite stripped ends of the two transmitter wires into the terminals for the appropriate loop on the ICT Transmitter. Push in the plastic tabs and insert the wires, one into each port. Let go of the tabs once the wires have been pushed up in the port and the wires will be secure into the appropriate Loop terminal.
