Dog Guard DG9000, Installation And Training Manual

Page: 26 / 41

After fixing each break, walk back to the transmitter and remove the choke. If the
RED light stays on, the system is working. If it is still off, reattach the choke and
return to the point where you made the repair. From this point, continue to track
the wire until you have located and repaired any additional breaks. Finally,
readjust the signal field.
The steps above apply for every break that you encounter. If you suspect that a
length of wire is cut in several places, it may be faster to replace the entire piece
than to splice. The most prevalent cause of nicks and cuts in the wire is lawn
aeration. However, cuts and nicks may also occur in an extension loop where an
edger or deep planting cut the loop wire.
Lightning damage
Dog Guard’s transmitter comes equipped with enhanced lightning protection,
designed to arrest any static electrical charges received. This protection will
temporarily shut down the system to prevent permanent damage to the transmitter.
Of course, there will be times when lightning damage is inevitable. In fact,
lightning hits, even those that don’t directly strike the affected property, can cause
power surges that will damage electronic equipment. If your alarm and fault light
are both activated, your system has probably received lightning damage. It is
important to contact your Dog Guard dealer as soon as possible.
