HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

The SportDOG Brand® In-Ground Fence System has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for dogs over 10 pounds. The system works by producing a radio signal from the Fence Transmitter through up to 8,600 feet of Boundary Wire. The Boundary Wire is buried or attached to a fixed object to enclose the dog’s Boundary Area. You temporarily define the Boundary Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training your dog. Your dog wears a Collar Receiver with Contact Points that touch his neck and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely in the Boundary Area. When your dog reaches the Warning Zone, the Collar Receiver gives a warning beep. If your dog continues into the Stimulation Zone, a safe stimulation will be delivered through the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Boundary Area.

KEY DEFINITIONS

FENCE TRANSMITTER: The power source that transmits the radio signal through the Boundary Wire.

BOUNDARY AREA: The area inside the Warning Zone where your dog can roam freely.

WARNING ZONE: The perimeter of the Boundary Area where your dog’s Collar Receiver begins to beep, warning him not to go into the Stimulation Zone.

STIMULATION ZONE: The zone beyond the Warning Zone where your dog’s Collar Receiver will deliver a Stimulation, signaling him to return to the Boundary Area.

BOUNDARY WIDTH: The area covered by the Warning Zone and the Stimulation Zone.

STIMULATION MODE SWITCH: Used to select the type of stimulation delivered by the Collar Receiver.

RANGE SWITCH: The switch to adjust the Boundary Area according to the length of Boundary Wire used.

POWER JACK: The jack where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter. The Fence Transmitter is powered by a standard electrical outlet.

RANGE ADJUSTER: The knob that adjusts the width of the Warning and Stimulation Zones. Note: Adjusting the knob does not change the level of Stimulation on the Collar Receiver.

LOOP INDICATOR LIGHT: The light that indicates that the Boundary Wire makes a complete loop, enabling the signal to be transmitted.

GROUND TERMINAL: The terminal where the ground wire connects to the Fence Transmitter.

BOUNDARY WIRE TERMINALS: The terminals where the Boundary Wires connect to the Fence Transmitter in order to complete a continuous loop.

7K/10K FREQUENCY SWITCH: Make sure switch is set to 10K setting. If you are experiencing interference contact Customer Care.

COLLAR RECEIVER: Receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire. The Collar Receiver is waterproof.

RECEIVER INDICATOR LIGHT: The light that indicates the Stimulation Level at which the Collar Receiver is set. This light also serves as a low-battery indicator.

STIMULATION LEVEL BUTTON: The button to adjust the level of Stimulation your dog receives in the Stimulation Zone.

CONTACT POINTS: The contacts through which the Collar Receiver delivers Stimulation when your dog moves into the Stimulation Zone.

OPERATING GUIDE

 

 

LOCATE THE FENCE TRANSMITTER

 

01

 

Place the Fence Transmitter:

 

::

 

• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area (1A).

 

• In an area out of the weather (garage, basement, shed, closet).

 

STEP

• Secured to a stationary surface using appropriate mounting hardware (not included). A mounting template is included on

 

page 27 of this guide.

 

 

 

 

• At least 3 feet from large metal objects or appliances as these items may interfere with the signal consistency (1B).

 

 

• As close as possible to you home’s Grounding Electrode. This is required to keep the Ground Wire as short as possible.

 

 

Once you have mounted the Fence Transmitter, the Boundary Wire must exit the building. This can be accomplished via a

 

 

window or through a 1/8” 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 and building codes.

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.

 

 

• The Boundary Wire MUST start at the

2A

2B

 

Fence Transmitter and make a continuous

 

 

 

 

loop back (2A).

STEP

• Design a layout that is suitable for your

yard. Sample layouts are provided on the

following page, and a grid for designing

your layout is provided on page 26.

 

Always use gradual turns at the corners to produce a more consistent boundary (2B).

Do not use sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in your boundary.

We recommend setting a Boundary Width

for the Warning and Stimulation Zones to approximately 16 - 24 feet (8 - 12 feet on

each side of the wire).

The Collar Receiver can be activated

inside the house if the Boundary Wire runs along the outside wall of the house. If this occurs, remove your dog’s Collar Receiver before bringing him inside, decrease the range using the Range Adjuster or consider an alternative layout.
