ADMIN – Hi Jim,

Each twisted wire should connect to only one of the boundary wires. When installing a dog fence, all splices should be 1-to-1, there are virtually no situations where you need to splice three or more wires together.

Thanks in advance!

ADMIN – Hi John,

Some Home Depot’s and Lowes sell PetSafe boundary wire, which is compatible with the Innotek systems. It costs about $25 for 500 feet. You can also get flags, which you will need to mark the boundary (they are in the plumbing section and usually used to mark utility lines), and you can also get waterproof wire nuts for splicing the wire.

Generally speaking, you can use any insulated single copper wire. It deos not matter if it is twisted or stranded. Preferably, get a wire that is rated for direct burial, it is going to hold up much better in the ground. (i.e. don’t use wire intended for wiring the interior of a house – you want something intended for outdoor burial)

ADMIN – Hi Robert,

To connect the wire to the transmitter (control) box, you strip a bit of insulation off the end of each wire, then insert the wire into a little terminal block in the transmitter box. There are two holes, one for each wire.
