3. Finding a wire break using an RF Choke
You will need a 100 μμH RF Choke and an AM radio tuned to AM530.
Go to the wall mount transmitter box and disconnect the two underground wire leads from
the RED terminals, where they connect to the transmitter. In place of each wire lead, connect
one end of the RF Choke. Next, take the two underground wire leads and reconnect them
into the RED terminals. You should now have a wire from the RF choke and an underground
fence wire in each RED terminal. Turn up the transmitter signal strength to full. (RED area on
the dial) Take the radio (tuned to approx. AM530 on the dial) and the volume turned up.
Walk slowly along the path of the wire, holding the radio as close to the ground as possible
and directly over the wire. You should hear a whirling/static noise where the wire is intact
and no whirling noise where the break is located.
Fixing the Break
Once you have found the break, cut out the damaged area and usea weatherproof gel style
wire splicerto reconnect the two wires. If the break is large, or if you cannot identify the
break location, you may need to splice in some extra wire to bypass the area that is
damaged.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
Your system requires very little maintenance. The receiver/collar for the E-Fence 3500 system
is fully waterproof. To remove dirt, simply wipe with soap and water.
The wall transmitter is not waterproof and must be protected from the elements in a shed,
garage or carport.
Do not attempt to dismantle or repair the wall mount transmitter or receiver/collar :
this will void the manufacturer’s warranty. These components contain computerized
