OK, that's what I figured, too. So...what about the other questions I have about how to do this correctly?
"The diagrams I can find for running hot wire underneath a gate all show multiple-strand designs, which includes a ground wire that runs the full length of the fenceline. Can I just run the single strand of the Intellitwine as I'd planned, or do I need to run an additional strand all the way around as a ground wire? When running the Intellitwine under gates, should the plastic conduit come out of the ground on either side of the gate and run all the way up the wooden posts 'til the polywire is at the right height, or does the conduit just come up enough to keep the polywire from having any contact with the earth or weeds?"
I want to do this right the first time, and not have to correct things after I find out I did something wrong, which is why I'm asking--I've got the Intellitwine, I've got the insulators for the posts and the corners, I've got some P-springs, I've got the conduit, I've got the insulated wire, I've got one of the Energizer to Rope connectors and two of the PowerLinks, a cut-out switch and the energizer. What else do I need to do this right? Where can I find a diagram or illustration that gives me a better idea of how far up the gate posts the conduit needs to run, and how far up the insulated wire needs to run?
