I want to install it on a wooden pegola to deter racoons eating grapes. Will 3 wires (gnd, hot, gnd) system, 2 inches apart be good?

I did something similar to deter squirrels...just 2 wires (gnd, hot) about 1.5" apart...works like a champ!

Depends. The wire would need to be safely disconnected from the power supply because you have to attach the transmitter to one exposed end of the wire and obviously it must not be hot. I think the other consideration is how deep is the wire in the ground. I have only used it to follow shallow wires only about 3 to 5 inches deep in my application.

Thanks for the info. I bought my surround set up and stands a few weeks ago and was able to run 14 gauge wires thru the stands (I just ran the wires before I put the upper tubing with the lower tubing) and I just used a mini flathead screwdriver to guide the wire out of the wire exit.

Not really sure on that, but if you have gerbils they will chew the connections inside the tubes apart so they wontnhold any more. Had to move to a glass tank for mine as they destroyed over $100 worth of these critter trail houses and accessories

A 2 prong should be no problem. 3 prong -- maybe. I think it is about 3/4 of an inch.

Depends on your application. I had to order a much longer cable to run between the IR sensor and the junction box.

Yes on both. The connecting (bell) wires are quite long and likely will need to be cut.

No, as long as you know what wires are feeding it. 2 hot, 1 common, and 1 ground.

The leads are about 6" in length. So feasibly they could be about 11"-12" apart with the attached wires.

No they will not. You will need to make a set of pigtails using a set of quick connects with bare wire ends. this will let you use the ones from your panel. Be sure to solder the ends of the bare wires before putting them into the screw downs at the bottom of the controller to give you a good connection.

This should work fine. I put the white wire on terminal 1 and the red wire on 2 and 3 jumped together. You will need the remote transmitter that goes with this unit.

I'd say two inches including the wiring, to be safe. You could save a little bit on that if you can find right-angle female disconnects (O'Reilly's had them when I was there), but not much.

No it want be a problem at all I too have use speaker wire that's not the same length and it works flawlessly.

I believe you can connect two end to end, but you cannot connect 3 or more end to end. I explored this question myself, though I did not do this, and it seems like once you use more than 2 strips (of 5 meters each) it would drawn too much power for the thin wires and things would melt. If I did this myself, I would first test it and see how hot the strips seemed to be getting before I would trust installing it. I would also not recommend doing this without some validation, since I am by no means an expert and would not want to be responsible for any mishaps.

Actually, yes, it won't look good but wrap the unprotected connection in either saran wrap or a cut open plastic baggie. Go to a hardware store and buy a pipe protector, they look like kids pool noodle toys. They're inexpensive, can be cut to size and slitted down one side so you can put the wiring inside then just tape it on. I did something similar in a horse barn in Michigan. It worked well, everything dry, no shorts. Good luck. John

Thank you for your inquiry. We have a concern about the can height and whether it will fall between the wires if it is positioned on it's side in the rack. Our suggestion is to line the rack with something. If this is done, the rack will work find.

The slot is a hair over 2.5" edging into 5/8ths territory. There is extra space for the head of the sensor, you could perhaps fold the wire over the side for the install. If you are removing just cut the wire.
