Surge Protection

Lightning strikes that occur even several miles away from your installation can create power
surges or spikes which may damage your unprotected electronic pet containment system.
The Surge Protector included with this system is designed to protect your In-Ground
Fence from surges or spikes that can reach it via your AC power connection and/or your
™
buried Boundary Wire.
Install the Surge Protector &
Connect the Wires (4A)
1. Turn the power OFF
to the outlet that the
Surge Protector and
Fence Transmitter will
be plugged into.
2. We recommend
that, if possible, use
the outlet center
screw that holds the
cover plate in place
to secure the Surge
Protector to the
outlet. To do this, tape
the top of the cover
plate to the wall, then
remove the cover
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm.
If the storm is close enough for you to hear thunder, it is close enough to
create hazardous surges.
• Turn off power to outlet before you install or remove your Surge Protector.
• Risk of electrical shock or fire. Use Surge Protector only with a duplex outlet
with center screw. Attach unit with long screw supplied.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter and Surge Protector
indoors in dry location only.
• Do not install the Surge Protector if there is not at least 30 feet (10 meters)
or more of wire between the electrical outlet and electrical service panel.
• If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a GFCI (ground fault
circuit interrupter). In rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the
GFCI to trip. Without power your dog may be vulnerable to escape. You will
have to reset the GFCI to restore power to the system.
• Plug the Surge Protector into a grounded (3-prong) outlet that is within 5
feet of the Fence Transmitter. ALWAYS use a grounded (3-prong) outlet to
ensure maximum protection.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the Surge Protector plug. Do not use
a 3-prong plug to 2-prong outlet converter. Doing so will make the Surge
Protector ineffective against surges or spikes.
