DogWatch System 1200 Installation Manual
Diagram to illustrate various installation layouts:-
Attaching to fencing.
If attaching to a fence use a cable clip or staples to attach the cable to the fence. Try to install the
cable midway on the fence if possible (be careful not to pinch the outer jacket of your cable if you are
using staples). Clips are available for purchase on our web site. If your fence is stock fencing or
chain link you can simply weave the boundary cable through the fencing (a good tip is to tape the
end to a bamboo cane and "sew" the cable through the fence).
Hedges
Again, a bamboo cane is the easiest method to ensure that your cab le is installed deep into your
hedge – where possible lift the cable approx 18" from the ground to allow any small wild life to pass
underneath.
Lawns and Paddocks
If you have to or want to bury your cable the easiest option is to use a spade or lawn edger to open a
small gap – dig down approx 4 – 6" into the ground and push the cable into the grove using a bolster
of blunt object.
Driveways & Concrete
Gravel drives: scrape back the gravel or top layer from your drive, if the under layer is scalpings or
mud you will need to dig a trench approx 6" deep and insert a hose or conduit that the cable can be
laid in for protection. Replace the layers and the cable will invisible and protected.
Concrete or Tarmac:
Put on a dust mask and goggles to protect your eyes and lungs. A shard of flying concrete can
injure your eyes, and the dust from concrete or blacktop may harm your lungs.
Mark the area where you'll install the wire. If you're installing the wire at a joint in your concrete
driveway, you can just follow that line. If you're installing the wire in tarmac, use a chalk snap line to
mark your cut.
