4. Disconnect the existing boundary wire from
your wall transmitter.

5. Insert the two ends of the test loop wire into
the wall transmitter.

6. Note the original position of the Field Width
Adjustment  Knob  and  turn  the  Field  W i d t h
Adjustment  Knob  to  a  minimum  setting  (9
o’clock).

7. Place the test light on the collar receiver. With
the collar strap in hand, back up to be outside
the field and approach the test loop. Make a
mental note of the distance between you and
the wire when the collar activates.

8. Turn the Field Width Adjustment Knob to a
medium setting (10 o’clock).

9. Back away from the wire and approach it
again. Determine the distance between you and
the wire when the collar activates. The distance
should be greater on the 10 o'clock range set-
ting than on the minimum setting.

10. If more than one collar receiver is used on
the system, repeat the above test on each col-
lar.

11. Interpreting the Results

a. If there is no light on the transmitter with the
test wire in place, the wall transmitter is mal-
functioning.
b. If the red light is solid on the wall transmit-
ter, but the collar does not activate on the test
loop wire, the collar receiver is not working.
c. If the red light is solid on the wall transmit-
ter and the collar receiver is activating at dif-
ferent distances on the test loop wire, the
problem is in the yard wire.

B. Transmitter Loop Test Procedure

The Transmitter Loop Test Procedure should be
performed if the transmitter indicator light is not
functioning properly. You will need a short 6-foot
piece of boundary wire with 1/2-inch of the insu-
lation stripped from both ends. Verify the AC
adapter is plugged into the transmitter and into a
functioning AC outlet, the transmitter Field Width
Adjustment Knob is not in the OFF position, and
all boundary wire connections at the transmitter

are properly connected.If the indicator light is still
off, continue with the following steps.

1. Remove the existing twisted wire pair from the
transmitter connector by pushing red and black
release levers on the connector and remove the
two wires from the transmitter.

2. Insert the ends of the 6-foot wire into the con-
nector on the transmitter and recheck the trans-
mitter indicator light.

a. If the indicator light is on, the problem is in
the boundary wire. check for visible damage to
the wire at the entry into the house. If none is
observed, perform the Wire Break Location Test
Procedure to find and correct the wire break.

b. If the indicator light is still off, the malfunction
is in the transmitter or the AC adapter. Contact
Innotek at 1-800-826-5527 for assistance.

C.Wire Break Location Test Procedure
To locate wire breaks in the loop installation, use
a wire break location device called an RF Choke,
which is available at Radio Shack (Catalog #273-
102;10 mH, 2 Amp). You will also need a portable
AM radio. Once you have these items, follow
these steps:

1. Disconnect the transmitter power by unplug -
ging the adapter from the outlet.

2. Disconnect the boundary wires from the wall
transmitter.

3. Bend the leads of the RF Choke into the
shape in the illustration.

4. Gently wrap the RF Choke leads around the
boundary wire (stripped) ends (one to each
side).
