Sorry, you're right.  (I guess I have taken too many shocks over the
years).
(I gotta stop showing people how "harmless" it is to the animals)
     Any way, do you think I can run multiple lines in parallel.  If I
remember
right,  wiring in parallel will keep the voltage the same in all wires,
but I
wonder if the amperage draw will be excessive and blow something in
 the unit.
