Petsafe RFA-200 manual Additional Information, Short Loop Test

Additional Information

•The Boundary Wire is buried so that it is not accidentally tripped over or cut. Use care when using a weed eater or when digging near the Boundary Wire to prevent damage.

•The system should only be used with healthy pets. Contact your veterinarian if you have concerns about the medical condition of your pet (medication, pregnant, heart conditions, etc.).

•This system is not for vicious or aggressive pets. If your pet may pose a threat to others, DO NOT USE THIS SYSTEM. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.

•The PetSafe In-Ground Radio Fence™ is for residential use only.

•The Static Correction will get your pet’s attention, but will not cause harm. It is designed to startle, not to punish.

•Test the Receiver Collar every 3 to 6 months. Battery life depends upon how often the Receiver Collar is activated.

Short Loop Test

The Short Loop Test is a simple test to determine if each component (Fence Transmitter, Receiver Collar and Boundary Wire) is functioning properly.

1.Disconnect the Boundary Wire.

2.Cut approximately 10 feet of unused Boundary Wire and connect it to the Boundary Wire Terminals.

3.Spread the Boundary Wire out into a circle. Set the Boundary Control Switch to B.

4.Set the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and the Static Correction level to 2 or above.

5.If the Loop Indicator Light is not lit, then your Fence Transmitter is not functioning properly. Contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.

6.If the Loop Indicator Light is lit, disconnect one end of the Boundary Wire from the Boundary Wire Terminal.

7.If the loop alarm does not sound, the Fence Transmitter needs to be replaced. Contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.

8.If the loop alarm does sound, plug the Boundary Wire back into the Boundary Wire Terminal.

9.Hold the Receiver Collar next to the 10-foot length of Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar should beep about one foot away from the Boundary Wire.

10.Hold the Test Light contacts to the Contact Points. The Test Light should flash as you hold the Receiver Collar close to the Boundary Wire.

11.If Receiver Collar does not beep and the Test Light does not flash, replace the battery in the Receiver Collar. If it still does not beep and the Test Light does not flash, contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.

12.If the Receiver Collar beeps, there may be a complete or partial break in the Boundary Wire. See the “To Locate a Break in the Boundary Wire” section.
