Find the break in the under ground wire for invisible dog fence systems.
Step 1. Buy the KOLSOL underground wire locator. (Amazon 50$)
Step 2- unpackaged and hook clamps up to ends of dog wire.
Step 3 - make a SECOND break in the dog wire.. anywhere expect where they are woven together. (Most likely coming out of your house)
(This will allow you to distinguish where the electric field (sound) stops completely. This makes the process of finding the unknown break in the wire FAST)
Step 4- take the sound wand turn ON and start at where the wires begin out of your house. Follow the sound until you can’t pick up ANYMORE sound….. Back track and diligently swing the wand over area where the sound was last heard UNTIL you pin point precise location of the break or where sound starts and stops.
Step 5- dig up and fix wire along with the break you made on purpose.
Step 6- re install wires back into dog unit and hopefully this solves the problem.

Great process. I found my break in less than two minutes in an over 3000 foot run of wire. Thanks!

@jeffreiterman102 7 месяцев назад

Thanks man. Was ready to return it. Putting the second break in wire is what I needed.

@makaylabyron972 4 месяца назад

Why is the 2nd break needed? Idk why that part is confusing me.

@patfennelloutdoors 3 месяца назад

@@makaylabyron972 it is so the frequency from the wire does not continue and you can distinguish where the tool buzzing has stopped last. If there was only one break there would be a quick pause in the buzzing.. that would be too fast for you to identify where the one break is.

I have looked at other videos and read the instructions. They do not make logical sense for finding a boundary wire break. Yours is the first video that makes sense to me. Adding the second break in the line seems to logically be the best way to find the break in the line. I am going to try your method.

@patfennelloutdoors Год назад

Let me know if you have any questions. This method works great for me.

@hopsluvr Год назад

Thanks for your time and tips. I just got mine today and I know for a fact I have multiple breaks after some major landscaping. Not sure how this will work but I'm assuming I will need to start as close to where it comes out of the garage and just fix one at a time and then move on down the line.

@patfennelloutdoors Год назад

Yes start nearest to the receiver and keenly follow the sound until you can’t hear it. You may need to go back track when you loose the sound. I usually get within 12 inch’s of the break. I hope this works out for you, let me know if you have any questions.

For those asking, I did not put a second break in the wire. I shoved a long screwdriver into the ground (earth ground) and connected one transmitter wire to ground, and the other to one side of the broken loop. I followed the tone until it rapidly faded and dug. I was within a foot of the break.

@jasonpond7866 7 месяцев назад

Will it find a partial break? I seem to have an intermittent break. Thinking it must be grounding out occasionally. Could have hours that it’s fine. And then hours it’s beeping consistently.

@michaelrettie8463 6 месяцев назад

This second break is what did it for me. I tried following Manufacturer's directions without finding the actual break (mine would also start working for a few hours then start beeping). I had a partial break and was able to find using this non-conventional method.

@abemozes802 3 месяца назад

Will this work for stranded wire? My fence has 16 gauge (relatively think) stranded copper wire. Some of the product descriptions on Amazon testers say it won't work with stranded, only solid core wire.

@patfennelloutdoors 3 месяца назад

I believe so

@user-ky9rs1ts7p 6 месяцев назад

What if you have 2 or 3 breaks in the line? Just moved in and I don't know how many breaks there are. It's a pretty big lot.

@joshuajordan1538 6 месяцев назад

As you trace along the wire working away from the fence controller the tone will stop near every break. Fix the one you find and keep moving on down the wire fixing each break building continuity as you go until it’s a complete loop again.

@makaylabyron972 4 месяца назад

Why do you have to create breaks to fix it?

@jeepsrule68 Год назад

Why do you need two breaks?

@dhgcrack3r111 Год назад

This is an immaculate question

@taoxu935 Год назад

Because : 1. the dog fence goes a loop; 2. the wire is carrying the radio wave. If you don't make a 2nd break, when you pass the real break, the receiver may pick up the radio signal from the other end of the break, you may miss the break point...because you may not capture the beep stop. By making the 2nd break, you isolate half the loop. When you pass the real break, you will for sure not hear the beep after the real break....you fix the real break, the beep continues .... until you meet the next break (or your 2nd break). Actually that was smart.

UGH. It didn’t work for me!!! After a big rain, the transmitter started beeping as if there was a break. Couldn’t find the break. Unplugged unit for a while, then plugged back in. For 10 min or so the unit was fine. Wasn’t saying there’s a break. Then started being- break!! Perhaps the unit was bad? Got replacement unit. Same thing. Says there’s a break. Used your method, and in some areas the signal was very weak. But I could hear it. But when I got all the way around to where I made a break, I was still getting a beep. UGH. Any ideas?

@1percheron Год назад

Figured it out!!!! There was a section of wire that was corroded!! Enough signal would get through for the “find a break” transmitter/receiver to think everything was intact… but not enough signal would get through for the fence transmitter to think it was complete. Replaced that section of wire and all better! But it makes me wonder-- how much more of the wire is going ti corrode over time… 😣

@patfennelloutdoors Год назад

Just read your comment, thanks for getting back to us! Great to hear you found the problem! Good to know a corridor wire may make it more difficult. How did you find the corroded section of wire? The faint beeping sound? Thanks!

@1percheron Год назад

@@patfennelloutdoors I started again.. and instead of listening for the beeping to stop, I listened to where it might get a little quieter... BOOM! there it was! a section of corroded wire.

@patfennelloutdoors Год назад

@@1percheron awesome!

@taoxu935 Год назад

@@1percheron I am thinking......, 1. you want to short between 2 of your transmitter connectors, if beep is gone, it means your transmitter board is good; 2. then you want to test your loop resistance by connecting 2 ends to the multimeter ... if the resistance =0, it means there is no break but a corrosion; if the resistance is unlimited, then there is a break (or break + corrosion), you then can use a locator to ID the point....

@BigKahuna187 Месяц назад

Still does not make sense to break the wire more than once . So you just find your own break. Makes no sense.

@g.3046 Год назад

WHAT? This guy makes no logical sense! He says “find a spot where you could dig up the wire and break it”. WHAT? I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE WIRE IS TO DIG IT UP! Isn’t that what the VXSCAN F04 tool is for? How to I find the underground wire in the first place? Thumbs down on this bogus demo!

@patfennelloutdoors Год назад

Use the device to locate the wire in the first place. I believe most people have a good idea where there wire is buried that’s why I didn’t explain to use the tool to find the wire in the first place. Anyway, best thing todo is start where the wires come out of the receiver. If still no luck go pay someone todo it for you! You may not be mechanically inclined enough to solve this issue. Goodluck!

@patfennelloutdoors Год назад

(1) the dog fence wire goes in a loop. (2) if the radio signal passes over the break you may not pick up the pause in the radio signal. (3) if there is a second break you will isolate the break and won’t hear the radio signal at all until you pass the second break.

@g.3046 Год назад

@@patfennelloutdoors I have no idea where the wire is buried around the house since it was installed by the previous homeowner. I'll give the receiver idea you mentioned. Thanks.

@gdubia 11 месяцев назад

@@g.3046 He was supposed to hook up the black clamp to a ground wire, not the other yellow wire that goes to the other half of the loop. If you hook up the black clamp to ground, there is no need for a second break. Because he hooked the scanner up to both sides of the loop, it made both sides of the loop ring, therefore it made looking for the break literally like looking for a needle in a haystack.

@g.3046 11 месяцев назад

@IDrinkAndIKnowThings 2 месяца назад

Worked like a charm for me. One question though....why make 2 breaks? I did it and it worked but why 2 breaks?

@patfennelloutdoors 2 месяца назад

The second break isolates the unknown break in wire so there is no beeping where each break is. The sound will come to a dead stop instead of a short blip.
