Operating Guide

Locate the Fence Transmitter

Place the Fence Transmitter:
In a dry, well ventilated, protected area ( 1A, 1B).
In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, basement, shed, closet).
Secured to a stationary surface using the mounting hardware. A mounting template is included on the back of this guide
At least 3 feet from large metal objects or appliances as these items may interfere with the signal consistency (1C).
To mount the Fence Transmitter, screw the mounting bracket onto a stationary
surface such as a wall, and slide the Fence Transmitter onto the bracket. Once
you have mounted the Fence Transmitter, the Boundary Wire must exit the
building. This can be accomplished via a window or through a hole drilled through
the wall. Ensure the drill path is clear of any utilities. Make sure the Boundary
Wire is not cut off or pinched by a window, door, or garage door, as this can
damage it over time.
To prevent fi res and electrical hazards, install the Fence Transmitter in buildings
that are in accordance with state and local electrical codes.

Lay Out the System

Basic Planning Tips

WARNING
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground
cables marked before you dig to bury your wire. In most areas this
is a free service. Avoid these cables when you dig.
For information regarding how these underground wires can affect your
system’s operation, see Step 3 Position the Boundary Wire.
The Boundary Wire MUST start at
the Fence Transmitter and make a
continuous loop back (2A).
Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your pet to cross
over that area without correction.
Plastic or metal piping will not cancel
the signal. Twist the Boundary Wire
10 to 12 times per foot to cancel the
signal (2A).
