System Test
The system test is used to determine the cause of system problems that have not been addressed elsewhere in this guide.
You will need a piece of Boundary Wire greater than 15 feet long with 3 ⁄
8
inch of insulation removed from each end to use as
a test loop wire. Make a note of your Boundary Control Switch setting, Boundary Width Control knob setting, and Receiver
Collar setting before beginning the System Test. Follow the steps below to perform the system test:
1. Remove the Receiver Collar from your dog and make sure a good battery is installed in the receiver.
2. Set the Boundary Control switch to B.
3. Set the Receiver Collar Static Correction Level to 5.
4. Disconnect the twisted Boundary Wire from the Boundary Wire terminals on the Fence Transmitter by pressing the red
release levers on the connector and pulling the wires free.
5. Insert the two ends of the test loop wire into the Boundary Wire Terminals on the Transmitter.
6. Turn the Boundary Width control knob to 10 and then back to 5.
7. Place the Test Light Tool Contacts on the Contact Points of the Receiver Collar. While holding the Receiver Collar with
the Test Light Tool in place, approach the wire from the outside loop. Make a mental note of the distance between you
and the wire when the Receiver Collar activates.
8. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and repeat Step 7. The distance where the Receiver Collar activates should
be greater than that of Step 7.
9. If more than one Receiver Collar is used on the system, repeat the above test on each collar.
10. Interpreting the Results:
a. If the Power light or the Loop indicator light are not both lit on the Fence Transmitter, or the alarm is on, there is a
problem with the Transmitter. Contact the Customer Care Center.
b. If both the Power and Loop indicator lights are on, but the Receiver Collar does not activate on the test loop wire,
the Receiver Collar is not working. Contact the Customer Care Center.
c. If both the Power and Loop indicator lights are on and the Receiver Collar is activating at different distances on the
test loop wire, the problem is in the containment Boundary Wire. Perform the Wire Break Location Test.
11. When testing is complete, return the Boundary Control Switch and the Boundary Width Control setting to their original
position.
12. Reconnect the twisted Boundary Wire from the Boundary Wire terminals on the Fence Transmitter by pressing the red
release levers on the connector and inserting the wires.
13. Repeat the Boundary Width testing from Step 6 on Page 13 until you achieve the desired Boundary Width between 12
to 20 feet.
