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).
• 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 1/8” 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 fi res 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
• The Boundary Wire MUST start
at the Fence Transmitter and make
a continuous loop back (2A).
• Design a layout that is suitable
for your yard. Sample layouts are
provided in this section, and a
grid for designing your layout is
provided in the back of this guide.
• Fence planning software is available
online at www.petsafe.net/fence.
After you have planned and saved
your layout online, contact our
Customer Care Center to review
and refi ne your layout.
• Twisting two sides of the
Boundary Wire cancels the signal
10 T wists/ft.
2A 2B
and allows your pet to cross over that area safely. Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal. Twist the
Boundary Wire 10 to 12 times per foot to cancel the signal (2A).
• Always use gradual turns at the corners to produce a more consistent boundary (2B). Do not use sharp turns,
as this will cause gaps in your boundary.
• Avoid making passageways too narrow for your pet to move about freely (e.g., along the sides of a house).
• The Receiver Collar can be activated inside the house if the Boundary Wire runs along the outside wall of the
house. If this occurs, remove your pet’s Receiver Collar before bringing him inside, decrease the range using
the Boundary Width Control knob or consider an alternative layout.
