In-Ground Fence Wire Break Troubleshooting with an RF Choke

To locate the disruption in the ground wire, we recommend an "RF choke" device available at most electronics stores. Once you've installed this device, you can use a simple AM radio to find the problem and fix it.

Installing and Using the RF Choke:

1. Unplug the wall transmitter from the 110v wall outlet. 2. Disconnect both yard wires from the wall transmitter. 3. Wrap the yard wires around the choke leads (one to each) near the cylinder. (see illustration) 4. Plug the Choke leads into the wall transmitter. 5. Reconnect the wall transmitter to the 110v wall outlet. 6. Set a portable AM radio to AM-60 or AM-600. 7. Set the field width knob on the wall transmitter at the minimum level to obtain a signal on the portable radio. 8. Hold the radio chest high and swing the radio over the wire while walking around the boundary.

When standing over the twisted wire, the signal should be absent. When standing on a single wire area, you will hear pulsating static. When the tone weakens or stops, examine the wire 3-4 feet in each direction. Fading or change in pitch indicates a nick in the wire insulation. No sound indicates a complete break in the wire. © 2013 GDS
