Step 5: Connect the perimeter boundary wire to the wall transmitter
The two boundary wires from the start of your perimeter to the wall transmitter should
be twisted together to cancel any signal. This will allow your dog to cross the area
without receiving any correction. In addition, it eliminates any possible interference
from other electrical wires, telephone cables etc. This should be done as follows:
(i) Measure the distance from the wall transmitter to the starting point of your
perimeter. Multiply the distance by 1.5 to allow for the decrease in length when
the wires are twisted together. Cut two equal lengths of boundary wire to this
measurement.
(ii) Hold the two ends of the wire side by side and begin twisting them together.
These can be twisted manually until the twists are 6-12cms apart. The tighter the
twist, the better the signal cancellation.
(iii) Splice the ends of the twisted wire with the two ends of the perimeter boundary
wire using waterproof connectors.
(iv) To use the waterproof connector, simply clean-cut the wires to be joined. Do not
strip them down. Put the ends firmly into the two holes of the connector. Using
pliers, firmly, but evenly, squash down the button. This connects the wires and
covers them with grease (already inside the connector) which makes the join
waterproof.
(v) Run the twisted wire back to the wall transmitter. This may require pulling the
wire through a prepared hole in the external wall. For your safety, please ensure
there are no electrical wires, nails or screws within the area you are drilling.
(vi) To connect the ends of the twisted wire to the wall transmitter, strip off
approximately 1cm of wire insulation from each end of wire. Insert a wire into
each of the terminals of the wall transmitter.
(vii) Plug the power adaptor into a standard 240-volt mains outlet and connect the
other end to the power port of the wall transmitter.
Step 6: Verify the wall transmitter and perimeter boundary wire are functioning
correctly
(i) Turn the signal field-width knob clockwise. The OK and Power light should turn
green. This means the wall transmitter is receiving power and both boundary
wires are connected and form an uninterrupted, continuous loop.
(ii)
If the ‘Break’ light turns red, one or both wires are not connected properly to the
wall transmitter. Or, if both wires are connected, then check to ensure the
boundary wire is not damaged. Correct the problem and retest.
(iii) Switch off the wall transmitter
Step 7: Set up the collar-receiver
Insert the 6-volt battery into the collar-receiver following the positive (+) and negative
(-) signs inside the battery compartment. When the
single ‘beep’ sounds, the collar-
receiver is working properly.
Once you have installed the wall transmitter, placed the unburied boundary
wire along the perimeter of the containment area and completed the tests of the
wall transmitter and the collar-receiver, you are ready to adjust the signal field
width then manually test the complete MGG radio-controlled hidden dog fence
