Set the Boundary Width and Test the Receiver Collar

The Boundary Control Switch on the side of the Fence Transmitter has three settings (6A). Setting B is used for most properties.The following table will indicate the setting you should use.

Amount of Wire	Setting
Up to 1300 feet	B
1300-2400	C
Greater than 2400 feet	A

Use the Boundary Width Control knob to set the width of the Warning Zone and Static Correction Zone (6B). Set the Boundary Width as wide as possible to give your pet the widest Warning and Static Correction Zones without reducing the Pet Area too much.

Note:The BoundaryWidth Control knob does not		6C		6D
change the Static Correction Level.
To identify the Warning and Static Correction
Zones, make sure the Receiver Collar battery is
properly installed and the Test Light Contacts
are touching the Contact Points (6C, 6D).
Walk toward the Boundary Wire with Contact			Test Light Contacts
Points pointing up and holding the Receiver
Collar at your pet’s neck level (6E) until the
Receiver Collar beeps	6E		6F	6G
(6F).
Note:The Receiver Collar is
waterproof, which can make				Boundary
the beep hard to hear.
If the Receiver Collar does				Wire

not beep at the desired				Wire
range, adjust the Boundary
Width Control knob to the
desired setting.Turning the
Boundary Width Control
knob clockwise increases
the Boundary Width while

turning it counterclockwise

decreases it (6B). Repeat this activity as needed until the Receiver Collar beeps at the desired distance from the Boundary Wire.

The numbers on the Boundary Width Control knob indicate signal strength and are not representative of Boundary Width footage. If adjusting the Boundary Width Control knob does not give the desired range, adjust the Boundary Control Switch to another setting to achieve your desired range. If using a Double Loop, you may need to increase the separation of the Boundary Wire to achieve desired range.

The Receiver Collar beeps as a warning tone and ticks when delivering a Static Correction. After hearing the beep, continue to walk towards the wire. The Receiver Collar should tick and the Test Light should flash, indicating the Static Correction as you enter the Static Correction Zone (6G). A warning tone and the flashing of the Test Light indicate that the Receiver Collar and the system are working properly and that 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. (For example, a 10 foot BoundaryWidth would consist of approximately 2 feetWarning Zone and 8 feet Static Correction Zone)
