EXTERNAL SURGE PROTECTOR
An External Lightning Protection Module helps protect
the transmitter from electrical power surges and light-
ning strikes near your boundary wire. A nearby lightning
strike can cause damage to your transmitter. Enhanced
lightning protection is available for the in-ground dog
fence by calling Intellipet
™ at 1-800-638-5754.
Lightning damage is not covered under your product
warranty unless external lightning protection is being
used.
Stimulation Settings
The stimulation is pre-set at the factory for optimal per-
formance. Should your dog enter the containment field
he/she will hear a two second warning tone. After train-
ing he/she will know to go back into the safe part of the
yard. By moving forward or staying in the same place,
the collar will deliver a continuous level of stimulation
until he/she moves back into the yard.
Over-Stimulation Prevention — In the unlikely event
that your dog becomes “trapped” in the containment
field, this feature limits stimulation duration to 10 sec-
onds. The system shuts off for 10 seconds before
resuming stimulation for another 10 seconds. This pat-
tern will repeat for a maximum of three cycles, a dura-
tion of 60-seconds.
Run-Through Prevention — Special features are incor-
porated in your system so your dog cannot “run-
through” the containment field without activating a
strong stimulation. The receiver automatically increases
the stimulation when your dog continues more than 1/3
of the way through the containment field, regardless of
the transmitter stimulation level setting. For example, if
the signal is detected 12 feet from the wire and your
dog enters the containment field, this feature is activat-
ed when he/she is approximately eight feet from the
wire. At this point, your dog automatically receives the
highest level of stimulation.
THE COLLAR RECEIVER
The collar receiver is attached to a nylon collar strap
that your dog will wear. The collar receiver administers
the warning tone and correction should your dog
attempt to leave the yard.
Fitting the collar on your dog.
The collar strap should fit snugly towards the top of your
dog’s neck with the collar receiver box on the bottom of
the neck. You should be able to get one finger between
the collar strap and your dog’s neck. The contact points
must make contact with the dog’s skin for proper opera-
tion. A little hair thinning may be required.
Important Notes:
A.
Always use the rubber insulators and the collar strap.
They provide insulation in damp conditions and keep
the collar receiver secure.
B. A small amount of hair thinning or removal makes con-
tact with the dog’s skin easier.
C. This product is recommended for dogs six months of
age and older.
D. Occasionally, check the tightness of the receiver probes
to ensure the receiver does not fall off of the collar. Lost
collars are not covered under your warranty.
THE WALL-MOUNT TRANSMITTER
The transmitter is the system’s control center. The
transmitter sends a coded radio signal around the con-
tainment wire you will install.
1. Field Width Adjustment - Controls the distance from the
wire your dog can venture before hearing the warning
tone.
2. Internal Lightning/Surge Protection- Protects transmitter
from power surges or lightning strikes near the boundary
wire.
3. Loop Wire Terminals - Connections for the containment
wire.
4. Power Connection - Power for the containment system
supplied by the 12 volt adapter plugged into any 110v out-
let.
5. Power- Turn FIELD WIDTH KNOB clockwise for ON, fully
counter-clockwise for OFF (until you hear click).
6. Yard Size Jumper- For system installations using 1,000
feet or more of wire (Your system comes with 500 Ft):
Remove four screws on front of transmitter. There are
jumper pins on the right side of the circuit board, move the
jumper to cover the pins next to the words LARGE. The
jumper must be installed for the system to operate.
7. System Indicator Light: System operating normally when
on. OFF indicates a malfunction.
IMPORTANT:
Intellipet ™ recommends that you unplug the transmitter
and disconnect the fence wire during lightning storms.
