Connect the Wires to the Fence
Transmitter (Australia & New Zealand)
Ground Wire (4C)
Proper grounding, although not necessary for the system to work,
will help reduce the chance of electrical surges causing damage
to your Fence Transmitter and/or Power Adapter. To ground your
unit, you will need a stranded 10 gauge insulated copper wire
and a UL approved grounding clamp to connect the wire to the
grounding rod located at your electrical power service entrance.
These items may be obtained at most local hardware or electrical
supply stores. Connect one end of the Ground Wire to the Ground
Terminal located on the Fence Transmitter and the other end of
the Ground Wire to the grounding rod located at the electrical
power service entrance to your home. This grounding rod is
normally located below the electric meter mounted on your home.
Secure the wire to the grounding rod using the UL approved
grounding clamp.
Fuse Protection (4D)
The Fence Transmitter is also equipped with a 250 volt, 1 amp
fuse to protect the unit’s electronic circuitry from electrical power
surges. To locate the fuse, slide off the lid on the back of the
Fence Transmitter. A spare fuse is also provided.

Transmitter Set-up
1. Run the Boundary Wire through a window, under a door, through a crawl space vent,
or any other appropriate available access. you can also drill a hole through your wall.
2. Strip 3 ⁄
8
inch of insulation from the ends of the Boundary Wire.
3. Press the red tabs on the Fence Transmitter and insert the twisted wire into the
Boundary Wire Terminals. Make sure wires do not touch each other at terminals.
4. Turn the Boundary Width Control Knob to 10. This will set the Boundary Width at the
maximum width.
5. Plug Power Adapter into Power Jack and AC Power Outlet.
6. The Power Light and Loop Indicator Lights should come on. If this does not happen
see the “Troubleshooting” section.
• 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.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter indoors in dry location only.
If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). In rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may
cause the GFCI or RCD to trip. Without power your dog may be vulnerable to escape.
You will have to reset the GFCI or RCD to restore power to the system.
For added protection, when unused for long periods of time or prior to thunderstorms,
unplug from the wall outlet and disconnect the loop boundary wires. This will prevent
damage to the transmitter due to surges.
