SURGE PROTECTOR
BOUNDARY WiRE
#10 AWG
Or Heavier,
Solid
Ground Wire
1. Locate the surge protector outdoors where the zip wire from the transmitter exits the
garage or house.
2. Bring the wires through the rubber gasket (it will need to be cut) and connect each
end of the zip cord from the transmitter to the inside point of each connector and to
the binding post of the surge protector.
3. Bring the ends of twisted wire going to the boundary loop through the rubber gasket
and connect each end to the outside point of each connector post.
4. Connect one end of #10 AWG or heavier ground wire to the ground connector post
of the surge protector (making sure the end is clean and shiny) and exit through the
rubber gasket.
5. Install an 8 foot ground rod (not included) outside of the building near the surge pro
tector.
Note:
If the surge protector is located near the house electrical service ground
rod, this rod should be used instead of installing a second ground rod. Run ground
wire in the shortest straight path to the ground rod, cutting off excess length. Avoid
sharp bends in wire. Always run in a downward slope towards earth.
6. Connect the other end of the ground wire to the ground rod using a ground rod clamp
(not included).
Planning
• It is important to carefully plan the installation of the boundary wire.
• Consider the location of gardens, plants, pools, pathways, and driveway crossings.
Utilize the natural boundaries of your property. This will help in your dog's training.
• Plan the path of the twisted wire to the boundary wire. The wire must form a continu
ous loop.
• Avoid sharp comers, as they will produce irregular radio signals. Avoid creating alleys
or bottlenecks where the wire is less than 20' from itself.
• Never place the wire in a metal conduit.
• If your neighbor has a DogWatch Hidden Fence System, allow 10' between wires.
• Avoid placing the boundary wire too close to your house to prevent the signal from
entering through the walls. Avoid laying the wire parallel to any underground cables o
metallic pipes. These cables or pipes should be crossed at a 900 angle. The wire can
be laid beneath rocks, brick, or flagstone without affecting the signal.
Installing
Determine where you want the inside edge of the signal field to be and mark it with
your DogWatch training flags. Rags should be 10 feet apart. They mark the edge of
the signal field and act as a visual aid for you and your dog during training.
When you bury the wire, first inspect the path for rocks, root, underground cables,
pipes, etc. Cut a narrow groove 3" to 4" deep using a straight edged spade or lawn
edger. Place the boundary wire in the groove and cover it completely. Splice each enc
of the twisted wire to each end of the boundary wire. Be sure to make separate
splices with strong and waterproof connections. Avoid laying the wire parallel to any
underground cables or metallic pipes. These cables or pipes should be crossed at a 90'
angle.
When crossing asphalt driveways or sidewalks, make a 1/2" deep cut in the surface
using a circular saw with a masonry blade. Place the wire in the cut and seal with an
asphalt sealer. When crossing concrete driveways or sidewalks, place the wire in an
expansion joint and seal.
Testing
• Turn the Power switch on. The red Power light and the green Loop light on the cove
of the transmitter will come on.
• Test the radio signal by carrying the receiver collar with the test light towards the
boundary wire. Repeat this in several locations around the property.
Lightning power surges can cause damage to your DogWatch transmitter Your surge
protector will help to prevent this from happening. It will only be effective if your system
is properly grounded. If you have questions about whether you have a proper ground,
consult your ilcensed electrician.
