Locate the Fence Transmitter

Step
1
Place the Fence Transmitter:
• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area (1A, 1B).
• In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, basement,
shed, closet).
• Secured to a stationary surface using appropriate mounting hardware (not included). A
mounting template is included in the back of this guide.
• At least 3 feet from large metal objects or appliances as these items may interfere with
the signal consistency (1C).
Once you have mounted the Fence Transmitter, the Boundary Wire must exit the building.
This can be accomplished via a window or through a 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 codes.

Lay Out the System

Basic Planning Tips

For information regarding how these underground wires can affect your system's
operation, see Step 3 Position the Boundary Wire.
• The Boundary Wire MUST start at the Fence Transmitter and make a continuous loop
back (2A).
• Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your pet to cross over that area
without correction. Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal. Twist the Boundary
Wire 10 to 12 times per foot to cancel the signal (2A).
• Design a layout that is suitable for your yard. Sample layouts are provided in this section,
and a grid for designing your layout is provided in the back of this guide.
• Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum of 3 foot radius to produce a
more consistent boundary (2B). Do not use sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in your
boundary.
• To properly contain your pet, we recommend setting a Boundary Width for the Warning
and Static Correction Zones to approximately 12-20 feet (6 to 10 feet 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 alternative layout.

Operating Guide

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.
