Operating Guide

Step

1

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).

At least 1 m (3 ft) 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 fires 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: Before digging to bury the BoundaryWire of your Underground Fence®, make sure that there are no buried power, telephone, or other electrical cables in the vicinity. Many underground cables carry high voltage and digging into them, or laying your BoundaryWire on them, may lead to hazard from shock or electrocution. Have the local utility company mark your underground lines. In most communities this is a free service. For information regarding how these underground wires can affect your system’s operation, see Step 3 Position the BoundaryWire.

The Boundary Wire MUST start

2A

2B

at the Fence Transmitter and make

 

 

a continuous loop back (2A).

 

 

Design a layout that is suitable

 

 

for your property. Sample layouts

 

 

are provided in this section, and

 

 

a grid for designing your layout is

30 Twists/m

 

provided in the back of this guide.

 

10 Twists/ft.

 

• Fence planning software is available online at www.petsafe.net/fence.

After you have planned and saved your layout online, contact our Customer Care Centre to review

and refine your layout.

• Twisting two sides of the Boundary Wire cancels the signal

and allows your pet to cross over that area safely. Plastic or metal

piping will not cancel the signal. Twist the Boundary Wire 30 times per metre (10 times per foot) to cancel the signal (2A).

Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum 1 m (3 ft) radius, to produce a more consistent boundary (2B). Do not use sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in your boundary.

Avoid making passageways too narrow for your pet to move about freely (e.g., along the sides of a house).

The Receiver Collar can be activated inside the house if the Boundary Wire runs along the outside wall of the house. If this occurs, remove your pet’s Receiver Collar before bringing him inside, decrease the range using the Boundary Width Control knob or consider an alternative layout.
