Quick System Test
1. Lay all components out on a table close to a mains power supply.
2. Connect the wall transmitter (see figure 1) to the power adaptor then insert the power
adaptor into a mains power outlet.
Figure 1
3. Turn on the mains power then switch on the wall transmitter by turning the field-width
adjustment knob clockwise just until it clicks. The power light should be green and the break
light should flash red and a
‘cable fault’ alarm beep should also sound. Switch off the wall
transmitter.
4.
Make a boundary wire ‘test-loop’ using a piece of wire preferably 3-4 metres (m) in length.
Strip off approximately 1 centimetre (cms) of wire insulation from each end of the wire.
Insert a wire into each of the terminals of the wall transmitter and turn the transmitter on
again. The OK light should now also be green while the warning beep should cease and the
red ‘break’ light should be off.
5. Next, place the collar-receiver (see Figure 2)
well away from the ‘test-loop’. Insert a NEW 6-
volt battery into the collar-receiver following the positive (+) and negative (-) signs inside
the battery compartment. Warning: Incorrect installation could cause permanent damage to
some electronic parts. The collar-
receiver should issue a single ‘beep’ when a NEW battery
is installed.
Figure 2
6. Finally, place the test light bulb on the two metal probes of the collar-receiver. To avoid
receiving a static-stimulation, do not touch the metal probes or the test light wire.
7. With the collar-receiver
in hand, approach the ‘test-loop’ to verify that the receiver activates.
Initially, the collar-receiver should issue a warning beep and as you get closer the test light
bulb will illuminate when the collar-receiver starts administering
‘correction’ static pulses.
You will not feel these pulses.
Once you are satisfied that all components are functioning correctly, proceed with
installing the system as per the instructions in Section 1
