HOW TO FIND AND REPAIR A PARTIAL BREAK IN YOUR CABELA’S® GUNDOG IN-GROUND FENCE™ WIRE
A partial break in the wire will prevent your system from functioning properly. A partial break occurs when the insulation of the wire is damaged but not necessarily severed. In most instances, it is a nick of the insulation in an area where the wire is exposed. Partial breaks will not typically trigger the wire break icon but may cause the collar to correct your pet in the safe area or to fail to correct your pet where it should.
FINDING A PARTIAL BREAK
- Visually inspect your splices and high-traffic areas for wire separation. Examples: Where the wire meets the edges of the driveway, the twisted wire, areas where yard work has recently occurred, areas where the wire is exposed, and areas in which the ground has been disturbed.
- Use the Divide Method to locate the area in which the break has occurred.
- After locating the break, cut the damaged section out and splice in a new section of the boundary wire. The damaged portion MUST be removed from the ground so that it does not interfere with the signal.
Spare wire and splice kits are needed to repair most breaks, you can find those SportDOG®.com.
Though there is a wire break locator available for purchase, please be aware that a wire break locator will NOT locate a partial break.
