Petsafe Innotek Contain ‘n’ Train In-Ground Fence - Manual (Page 6)

You should have your boundary wire laid out and properly
connected. DO NOT test the system on your dog.
1. Adjust containment field
Move the FIELD WIDTH knob to the 9 o’clock position.
2. Test system.
Select a section of straight boundary wire that is at least
50 feet long. Select containment mode (for SD-3000/SD-
3100 models only). Attach the supplied test light to the
receiver probes and hold the collar receiver at your dog’s
neck height. Slowly walk the collar toward the boundary
wire. Listen for the warning tone and watch for the test
light to light. The wider you can make the containment
field, the less chance your dog can run through. Adjust
the FIELD WIDTH as necessary and test again.
Test in a number of different areas until you are satisfied
there are no wire breaks and the system is functioning
properly.
Next walk all around the “safe” part of the yard to ensure
there are no stray signals, particularly near the twisted
wire coming from the transmitter. Test collar in and
around the inside of the house as well. As mentioned
prior, signals from Cable TV, electrical or telephone lines
can “couple” causing stray signals inside and outside the
house that can activate the dog’s collar accidentally. If
you do encounter this phenomenon, your boundary wire
is probably too close to these outside lines and will need
to be moved or modified. Containment collars should not
be worn inside the house.
You may need the following tools for efficient installation:
Straight edge spade or a gas powered edger. If you plan
on running the wire across a driveway you may also need
a caulk gun, silicone caulking and a circular saw with a
masonry blade.
1. Ensure system is turned off
Turn off the transmitter and unplug the adapter from the
AC outlet.
2. Bury the wire
Dig a trench 1”-3” deep with a flat edge spade or gas-
powered edger. A 30 - 45 degree angle cut will be the
easiest to close and keep the wire in the trench. Make
sure there is a little slack in the wire as you bury it to
compensate for expansion and contraction due to temper-
ature changes.
When crossing an asphalt driveway, make a 1/4” cut
across the driveway using the circular saw and masonry
blade. Place the wire in the crack and seal with asphalt
sealant. In concrete there is usually an expansion joint
that can be cleaned out and used for the same purpose
and covered with clear silicone caulk.
The wire can be placed underwater in creeks and
streams by running the wire through PVC pipe or length
of garden hose to prevent the wire from being damaged.
3. Place training flags
Repeat the test system step outlined in the prior page. As
soon as you hear the warning tone, place one flag.
Repeat the process every 10’ interval around the contain-
ment area. The flags will be your dog’s visual clue to the
boundary during training and will be removed during the
training process.
Watch the training video and follow the training steps out-
lined in the separate Training and Troubleshooting Guide.
You may see your dog respond immediately to the training,
however continue to follow the enclosed Training Guide to
fully train your dog. The convenience that your new fence
offers plus the added safety for your dog are well worth the
time invested
