Step 2
Install the Wall-mount transmitter
Select a Location
Select an indoor, dry location to hang the wall-mount
transmitter. You will need a standard 110v grounded outlet
within 1.5 meters for power. Most people find an inside
exterior wall of a garage or basement works well. You will
need easy access to run the containment wire outside.
2. Install the Mounting Plate
The mounting plate is attached to the back of the trans-
mitter. Remove by lightly depressing the dot on the top tab
and sliding the transmitter housing down the plate.
Use the mounting plate as your template and mark holes
with pencil. Fasten plate with supplied screws.
3. Install Battery Backup Batteries
(Optional, but recommended)
In case your power goes out, your system can run for up
to 40 hours on 8 AA batteries (not included). Install batter-
ies and flip BATTERY BACKUP MONITOR switch to the ON
position. If you choose not to use the battery backup sys-
tem, set the BATTERY BACKUP MONITOR switch to OFF.
4. Provide for wire access to outside
You will need to get the wire from the transmitter to out-
side where the containment loop will run. This can be
done through a window or you can drill a 1/4" hole at the
base of the wall to pass the wire through. After final
installation and testing is complete you can caulk the hole
to prevent water and insects from entering.
Step 3
Lay Out the Fence Wire
With the transmitter installed and the hole drilled for the
wire, you can position the boundary wire that will form
your fence. DO NOT bury the wire until you are sure that
the system is running properly.
1. Amount of wire
Your system includes 152 meters of boundary wire. Here
are some examples of wire coverage area:
Acres Linear meters Needed
1 259
2 366
3 457
4 518
5 579

2. Placing the wire
The wire must make a continuous loop from the transmit-
ter and back again. The signal is transmitted from one ter-
minal at the transmitter around the loop and back to the
transmitter again. Keep in the mind that you will want an
2.4 -3.6 meters containment signal field from you wire, so
don't run the wire too close to the house and make pas-
sageways too narrow for your dog to pass.
3. Twisted Wire
Twisted wire cancels the radio signal coming from your
transmitter. This enables proper installation and your dog
can cross over the wire in the safe part of the yard. Where
there is single wire, the fence is active and your dog will
be unable to pass. You can twist your own wire by cutting
two equal lengths of wire supplied and twisting them
together. Anchor one end of the wires to something secure
and insert the other end in a drill. Pull wire taught. The
drill enables you to twist the wire quickly. You will need at
least 12 twists per foot to effectively cancel the radio sig-
nal.
4. Rounding Corners
Use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum of 7.6
foot radius. This will produce a more consistent contain-
ment field.
IMPORTANT TIPS!
• DO NOT run wire within 10 feet or parallel to cable TV,
phone and electrical lines. The signals can couple together
causing collar activation in the house and safe parts of the
yard.
• The wire must form one continuous loop from the transmit-
ter.
• Use twisted wire to run between the transmitter and
interior loops around pools and gardens to allow your dog
to safely pass around these areas (as illustrated in the
custom loop pictures).
Step 4
Final Connections
1. Splicing to the boundary wire
Pull the twisted wire to the perimeter location of the two
ends of your boundary wire loop. Splice the ends of the
twisted wire to the ends of the boundary wire with the
supplied waterproof splices as shown. Use only water-
proof splices supplied with this system. Use of wire nuts
alone, electrical tape or solder will not provide a water-
proof and secure connection for your system to function
properly.
To use the gel-filled capsule splice, strip 5/8' of insulation
from the wire ends. Insert ends of wire into nut and twist
to secure. Insert the wire nut as deeply as possible into
the waterproof gel and snap the lid shut. Tie a knot in the
wires as shown in Quick Step #4 to avoid having the
wires pulled free during installation.
2. Bring outside wire to transmitter
From the outside, push the twisted pair of wires through
6.
the hole in the wall. Strip about 1/2" of insulation from
the two ends. Insert ends into loop wire terminals marked
on the transmitter.
3. Plug transmitter in
Use supplied adapter and plug transmitter in. Move power
switch to the ON position.
The green light should illuminate on your transmitter indi-
cating a properly installed boundary loop. If the light does
not come on, refer to the Training and Troubleshooting
Guide.
Step 5
Charge Collar
For the collar to properly charge, the transmitter must be
plugged in, turned ON and have the fence wire attached.
For this reason you will not charge your collar until you
have the layout of the boundary wire where you want it.
To Charge:
1. Place collar receiver on top of wall-mount transmitter
in the charging cradle with probes up.
2. The transmitter light will flash green when properly
seated.
3. Wait 14 hours. (A high frequency noise during charging
is normal).
4. If charging multiple collars, wait at least 15 seconds
before placing the next collar in the cradle.
Step 6
Test Your Fence
You should have your boundary wire laid out and properly
connected and the collar receiver should have charged for
14 hours. DO NOT test the system on your dog.
1. Field size switch
Set to small (SM) for installations using less than 304.8
meters of wire. For larger installations, move the switch to
large (LG).
2. Adjust containment field
Move the FIELD WIDTH knob to the 9 o'clock position.
3. Test system
Select a section of straight boundary wire that is at least
15.2 meters long. Attach the supplied test light to the
receiver probes and hold the collar receiver at your dog's
neck height. Slowly walk the collar toward the boundary
wire. Listen for the warning tone and watch for the test
light to light. The wider you can make the containment
field, the less chance your dog can run through. Adjust
the FIELD WIDTH as necessary and test again.
Test in a number of different areas until you are satisfied
there are no wire breaks and the system is functioning
properly.
Next walk all around the "safe" part of the yard to ensure
there are no stray signals, particularly near the twisted
wire coming from the transmitter. Test collar in and
around the inside of the house as well. As mentioned
prior, signals from Cable TV, electrical or telephone lines
may transfer stray signals inside and outside the house
that can activate the dog's collar accidentally. If you do
encounter this phenomenon, your boundary wire is proba-
bly too close to these outside lines and will need to be
moved or modified. Containment collars should not be
worn inside house.
Step 7
Bury Fence Wire
You may need the following tools for efficient installation:
Straight edge spade or a gas powered edger. If you plan
on running the wire across a driveway you may also need
a caulk gun, silicone caulking and a circular saw with a
masonry blade.
1. Ensure system is turned off
Turn off the transmitter and unplug the adapter from the
AC outlet.
2. Bury the wire
Dig a trench 2.54 - 7.62cm deep with a flat edge spade
or gas-powered edger. A 30 - 45 degree angle cut will be
the easiest to close and keep the wire in the trench. Make
sure there is a little slack in the wire as you bury it to
compensate for expansion and contraction due to temper-
ature changes.
When crossing an asphalt driveway, make a .635cm deep
cut across the driveway using the circular saw and
masonry blade. Place the wire in crack and seal with
asphalt sealant. In concrete there is usually an expansion
joint that can be cleaned out and used for the same pur-
pose and covered with clear silicone caulk.
The wire can be placed underwater in creeks and
streams by running the wire through PVC pipe or a length
of garden hose to prevent the wire from being damaged.
3. Place training flags
Repeat the TEST SYSTEM steps outlined in the Step 6. As
soon as you hear the warning tone, place one flag. Repeat
the process every 3 meters interval around the contain-
ment area. The flags will be your dog's visual clue to the
boundary during training and will be removed during the
training process. You are now ready to begin training
your dog.
