Step 4: Design Your Boundary Zone

Basic Planning Tips

• Always design your layout, position the boundary wire and test the system as outlined in this product manual
before burying the boundary wire. You do not want to find out after burying the wire that there is a problem with
your layout or a loose connection somewhere.
• Sample layouts are provided in this section, and a grid for designing your layout is provided on the back of this
product manual.
• The boundary wire must start at the fence transmitter and make a continuous loop back (4A).
• Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum of 1 m radius to produce a more consistent boundary
(4B). Do not use sharp turns; this will cause gaps in your boundary.
• Create areas in your garden that allow your pet to safely cross over the boundary wire without static stimulation
by twisting the boundary wires together 30 times per m (4C). This cancels the signal and allows your pet to safely
cross over that area.
• To properly contain your pet, we recommend setting a boundary width for the warning and static stimulation
zones to approximately 4 m–6 m (2 m to 3 m on each side of the wire).
• 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 alternate layout.
