Burying The Fence Wire - Perimeter PCC-100 Owner's Manual

Owner's Guide
• Move the boundary loop away from
large metal objects such as outdoor
sheds or metal fences.
• Move the boundary wire away from the
side of the house.
• Turn the signal strength down on the
wall-mount transmitter. (See STEP 6:
System Adjustments and Programming)
STEP 5

Burying the fence wire

After you have
the fence wire
positioned on
the top of the
ground and
are satisfi ed
that the fence
is functioning
properly, it is
time to bury the wire.
• Starting where the wire exits your
home, Use a fl at edge spade or gas-
powered edger to cut a 1"– 3" trench at
a 45 degree angle. A trench cut on an
angle will keep the wire secure when
put in the ground and will heal faster.
• After completing the trenching around
your boundary loop, insert the wire in the
trench and step down to secure the wire
in the ground. Do not pull the wire tight
in the trench, leaving some slack for
expansion due to heating and cooling.
• It is helpful to water your lawn after
installation and again walk over the
trenched areas to further secure the
wire underground.

You may encounter some obstacles that
will need to be crossed during your instal-
lation.
• When crossing a concrete driveway,
clean out an expansion joint with a
screwdriver, push wire into the slot and
cover with a clear silicone caulk.
• It is necessary to cut a trench in asphalt
driveways with a circular saw and
masonry blade. Place wire in trench
and cover with asphalt sealant.
• The wire can be run through PVC tubing
or garden hose and left on top of the
ground when crossing heavily wooded,
rock areas or when crossing creeks or
streams. The PVC or garden hose will
not obstruct the fence radio signal.
• It is not recommended that you leave
the wire above ground, unprotected
due to damage by weather and wild
animals.
Test the system again as described in step
4. This time test the fence at intervals of 10
feet and when you hear the training beep,
place one of the supplied boundary yard
fl ags. The boundary fl ags will be a visual
training aide for your pet during the training
process. The fl ags will be gradually re-
moved after the two week training period.
