Installing the pet fencing system
• Transmitter
The transmitter must be installed indoors in a dry location: the transmitter can withstand changes in temperature but will be
damaged by water. Make sure the transmitter is correctly and surely fixed (for example screw it to a wall).
Install the transmitter in a garage or garden shed near an electrical outlet (220 V AC).
• Antenna wire
For the system to operate, the wire must be connected to the transmitter and form a continuous loop from the transmitter and
back again. The outward and inward wires must be spaced 2 meters apart to avoid cancelling the signal.
0.52 mm² or 2.5 mm² wire can be used (you can combine several wire sections).
The wire sections recommended depending on the length of the system are as follows:
− for less than 800 m of antenna wire: 0.52 mm²
− from 800 to 2 000 m of antenna wire: 2.5 mm²
From the transmitter, unroll the wire around the perimeter you wish to protect. To run the wire from your garage or garden
shed, pass it through a window, door or similar.
The wire can be placed on the ground, buried (maximum: 10 cm deep) or fixed to a non-metallic existing fence or wall (best
height: your dog's neck height). If you plan on burying the wire, make sure your installation is functioning properly before
doing so. You can protect the wire by running it through PVC pipe or a length of garden hose.
The wire must not be taut as variations in temperature may cause it to expand or contract. In the corners, do not make right
angles but prefer rounded corners with a large radius.
Separate the wire by at least 2 meters from a metallic gate or one meter from a metallic fence.
Do not install the antenna wire near an electrical cable, telephone cable, television cable or satellite dishes.
In order to prevent any interference, do not run the wire within 3 meters or parallel to electrical cables. If you must cross
electrical wires, telephone wires or television cables, do so at 90 degree angles.
If you need more than 100 m of antenna wire, you must connect the different lengths of wire using the supplied connectors
(the wire does not need to be stripped). You can purchase additional wire and connectors from your supplier at any time.
To ensure your dog does not receive any warning or stimulation in certain areas (e.g. between the transmitter in the garage
and the edge of your property) you have to twist the outward wire around the inward wire. The twists prevent radio waves
from being emitted (ref. Diagram 4).
Once the loop is completed and you are back to the transmitter, strip the two ends of the wire to connect them to the supplied
transmitter connector (connect each wire with each connector screw). Then, insert this connector into the antenna socket
located on the transmitter (ref. Diagram 1 – the connector is slanted. If you can't insert it, turn it 1/2 turn).
