Grounding the Transmitter
An essential step in the installation process, grounding the transmitter protects the
unit against electrical surges and lightning
. If possible, locate the transmitter
near an existing grounding device and run a wire to this from the transmitter. For
example, use a spade or lug to attach the ground wire to the outlet faceplate screw.
(See illustration below).
House Grounding Procedure
If the outlet is not grounded you must put an 8’ x ½” copper grounding rod in the
ground and run a wire to it from the transmitter (see illustration on next page).
Dog Guard units that are not grounded void the terms of the warranty .
