Locate the Fence Transmitter

Step
1
Place the Fence Transmitter:
• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area (
• 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 fi res and electrical hazards, install the Fence Transmitter in buildings that are in accordance with
state and local electrical codes.

Lay Out the System

Step

Basic Planning Tips
Warning: Before digging to bury the Boundary Wire of your Underground Fence
there are no buried power, telephone, or other electrical cables in the vicinity. Many underground
cables carry high voltage and digging into them, or laying your Boundary Wire on them, may lead
to hazard from shock or electrocution. Have the local utility company mark your underground
lines. In most communities this is a free service. For information regarding how these
underground wires can affect your system's operation, see Step 3 Position the Boundary Wire.
• The Boundary Wire
• 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.
• Fence planning software is available online at www.guardianpet.net/fence.
• 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.
• 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 or consider an alternative layout.
