The Purpose of the Surge Protector
Lightning strikes within 1-2 miles of your installation can create power surges or spikes,
which may damage your unprotected Invisible Fence
®
Brand pet containment system.
The Surge Protector is designed to protect your Invisible Fence
®
Brand pet containment
system from surges or spikes that can reach it via your AC power connection and/or your
buried Boundary Wire.
Install the Surge Protector
Plan the installation as directed by the Operating Guide:
•
Use only in dry, protected areas.
•
Invisible Gate, ICT 700, 725 & 801 Systems, install the LP-4100 (use the LP-4200 if
the LP-4100 is not available).
•
ICT 750 & 802 Systems, install the LP-4200
•
Invisible Gate, ICT 700, 725 & 750 Systems, disregard instructions under Grounding
the System of the Installation and Operations Manual. Refer to the LP Supplemental
section in this manual on page 4.
The LP-4100/4200 Surge Protector must be plugged into a grounded (3-prong) outlet that
is within 5 feet of the Fence Transmitter. ALWAYS use a grounded (3-prong) outlet to
ensure maximum protection. Cutting or removing the 3rd prong from the Surge Protector
or using a 2-prong to 3-prong outlet converter will render the protector ineffective against
surges or spikes. If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a GFCI (ground
fault circuit interrupter). Both the Surge Protector and the Fence Transmitter will function
properly, but in rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the GFCI to trip. Without
power, your dog may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the GFCI to restore
power to the system
