Next walk all around the Pet Area to ensure there are no areas where the Receiver Collar may activate from signals coupled onto buried wires or cables. Test the collar in and around the inside or the house as well. As mentioned, cable and wires from cable TV, electrical or telephone lines may conduct pet fencing signals inside and outside the house that can activate the dog’s collar accidentally.While rare, if this occurs your Boundary Wire is probably too close to these outside lines and should be moved or modified as shown in figure 3A. If you are satisfied that your system is functioning properly, you are ready to start burying the Boundary Wire. If the Receiver Collar did not beep or the Test Light did not flash, see the “Troubleshooting” section.

Note:The BoundaryWidth is broken down into 20%Warning Zone and 80% Static Correction Zone.

Install the Boundary Wire

To Bury the Boundary Wire

Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.

1.Cut a trench 1-3 inches deep along your planned boundary.

2.Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with temperature variations.

3.Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the trench. Be careful not to damage the Boundary Wire insulation.

To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence

The Boundary Wire of the PetSafe® In-Ground Fencecan be attached to a chain link fence, split rail fence, or a wooden privacy fence. The Boundary Wire can be attached as high as needed. However, make sure the Boundary Width is set at a high enough range for the pet to receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with an existing fence at least three feet tall, run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the three to five foot separation needed.

Chain Link Fence (7A): Weave Boundary Wire through the links or use plastic quick ties.

Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (7A): Use staples to attach Boundary Wire. Avoid puncturing the insulation of the Boundary Wire.

Double Loop with an Existing Fence: Run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the three to five foot separation needed.

Gate (Single Loop) (7B) : Bury the Boundary Wire in the ground across the gate opening. Note:The signal is still active across the gate.Your pet cannot pass through an open gate.

Gate (Double Loop) (7B): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate opening while keeping them 3 to 5 feet apart.
