Attach a break in your Invisible Dog Fence Dog Fence or subway is cheap and easy. You get regular breaks in the boundary fence of the dog. You will know that the line is broken because the dog fence transmitter unit attached to the house through either a mistake, a red flashing light or a signal of acoustic noise. You'll also notice that your dog no longer work the collar and does not beep when you cross the border.

The boundary lines forTheir dog fence underground to make a complete cycle, starting and ending at the transmitter. If you need a break in the cycle will no longer pass the signals, and the device no longer works. Our task is to find the breaking of the boundary wire and fix it. Before you begin, you must remove the collar on your dog.

Here are the tools needed to make this trip away:

A pair of scissors A shovel to dig with, or something else can

Duration: 30 minutes

There are two ways to find the break, we start with the easiest way:

Finding a break by visual inspection

Most interruptions are run by someone a trench edger, aerator or other causes along the boundary wire. These breaks mayusually walk along, where the border runs wire and looking for places where it was found to be the last ditch. Discover the wire at these points and check for damage. The most likely spot where the line crosses your driveway or wire paths. Also check that the perimeter wire is properly connected to the transmitter.

If you are getting the breaks, the fixed section to fall off. Otherwise, the next section, where we show you how to proceedTo make the perimeter wire RF choke "sing" and shows the location of the break for you.

RF Choke method

RF choke cable to make singing your perimeter '. "We will be able to this sound with the AM radio, you can set to 600 and can have a break from searching for the end of the line, you can not hear the singing.

First, turn off the radio. Now separate the two strands of the border that connect the box. In its place, connect the two legs of the RF. Now Choking on the box of the transmitter again. The transmitter box should no longer indicates it is a mistake.

Now turn off the transmitter again. Take the two wires wrapped around the border wire and an isolated part of each leg, many of the RF choke. Now the transmitter on the box again. The transmitter should be noted that there is no error. Turn the "field width" in the window of the transmitter in a clockwise direction until it is at full power.

Now your turnAM radio is tuned to 600, and stroll along the boundary wire. If you would keep the radio near the wire to a deep sound button / button, Ugh Ugh Ugh-as-Uh-Uh-... As you move closer to the radio and far away from the perimeter wire, you will notice that there are some songs where the sound is louder and a few stretches where it is quieter. During a walk around the board is a place where there is no sound from the AM radio, regardless of whetherMove the radio near you or further away from the boundary wire. Here you should dig up the thread and look after the break. It will be within three feet of quiet

Now that you've done the hardest part, we want to fix the break

Fixing the broken

Use the scissors to the wire on each side of the break in the wire of the border strips. Now add the two sections of the stripped wire nut and gently turn until you get a little 'resistance of the nut. Now we testsee if you've solved the problem.

Back to the transmitting unit and turn on the device. Detach the legs and close the RF choke wire. Power to the transmitter, and should report an error. If you find an error for another break, it is possible that there is more than one. If there is no error signal to bury the perimeter wire, it is dug. Insert the "field width" button on the transmitter housing to its original setting, and you're done.Congratulations you have just saved yourself a home visit from a local U-Dog Fence company and a large bill!
