Operating Guide
Locate the Fence Transmitter
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 the mounting hardware. A mounting template
is included on 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).
To mount the Fence Transmitter, screw the mounting bracket onto a stationary
surface such as a wall, and slide the Fence Transmitter onto the bracket. 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
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.
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).
