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 3 m (10 ft) of unused Boundary Wire and connect it to the Boundary Wire Terminals.
3. Attach the Test Light to the Receiver Collar.
4. Spread the Boundary Wire out into a circle. Set the Boundary Control Switch to B.
5. Set the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and the Correction Level to 2 or above.
6. If the Loop Indicator Light is not lit, then your Fence Transmitter is not functioning properly. Contact the Customer
Care Centre.
7. If the Loop Indicator Light is lit, disconnect one end of the Boundary Wire from the Boundary Wire Terminal.
8. If the loop alarm does not sound, the Fence Transmitter needs to be replaced. Contact the Customer Care Centre.
9. If the loop alarm does sound, plug the Boundary Wire back into the Boundary Wire Terminal.
10. Hold the Receiver Collar next to the 3 m (10 ft) length of Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar should beep about
0.3 m (1 ft) away from the Boundary Wire. The Test Light should then fl ash as you hold the Receiver Collar closer
to the Boundary Wire.
11. If Receiver Collar does not beep and the Test Light does not fl ash, replace the battery in the Receiver Collar. If it still
does not beep and the Test Light does not fl ash, contact the Customer Care Centre.
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.
