The Signal Field
The Field Width Adjustment Knob on the
transmitter controls the signal field width. Increasing
or decreasing the signal field width does not affect
the stimulation intensity.
To test the signal field, walk slowly toward the
boundary wire holding the collar/receiver at
approximately the height of the dog’s neck. Contact
points must be upward with the test light attached.
Watch for the test lamp to illuminate, this will give
you an idea of the width of the signal field. The
wider the signal field is, the less chance that the dog
will run through the field and out of your yard. The
signal field should extend at least 6 feet on both sides
of the wire (creating a field that is 12-feet wide
total). An 8-12 foot field is preferred. This will
maximize the effectiveness of the containment
system and minimize the chances that the dog will
run through the signal field.
Connecting the Fence Wire to the Transmitter
Splice the two ends of the twisted wire to each of
the two ends of the fence wire. Drill a hole through
the exterior wall or window/door sill or run the fence
wire through an existing utility line hole. Connect
the twisted fence wire to the transmitter, either wire
to either terminal (wire ends must be stripped 1/2 -
inch). A red indicator light should appear indicating
a continuous fence wire field. If no light appears,
check to make sure that all fence wires are properly
connected and that the wire is not damaged.
