How the CANIFUGUE works
You can restrict your dog's play area by installing a wire on the ground, buried or raised
on an existing fence, called the antenna wire. This wire carries a radio signal from the
transmitter. When your dog, wearing a receiver collar around his neck, approaches this
limit, he is first warned by a beep that he is too close to an area where he is not allowed;
if he carries on, an impulse will be emitted. Your dog will have to leave the area to stop the
stimulations.
An unlimited number of receiver collars can be used with one transmitter unit: you can
keep as many dogs as you wish safely in the same area.
The
CANIFUGUE
has been designed to give you complete satisfaction with
an antenna
wire with a maximum length of 400 metres
(equivalent to one square hectare). If a longer
antenna wire is used, the
CANIFUGUE
will still work, but the warning and stimulation
zones will be markedly reduced.
Layout the control system
The transmitter:
- The transmitter must be installed in a weatherproof location: it can withstand changes
in temperature but will be damaged by water.
- Fix the transmitter on an interior wall near to an electrical supply (220 volts).
- Connect the transmitter to the power supply by plugging the adapter power cable into
the transmitter and connecting to the mains. (cf. Diagram No. 1)
The antenna wire:
For the system to operate, the wire should be connected to the transmitter and form an
uninterrupted loop. Both wires must be spaced 2 meters apart to avoid canceling the signal.
Either a 0.75 mm
2
wire or a 1.5 mm
2
can be used, or combined, with no effect on
performance.
From the transmitter unroll the wire around the perimeter of your property. To run the
cable from your garage or garden shed, pass it through a window or a door, or similar.
The wire can be placed on the ground, buried (maximum 10 cm deep) or fixed to a non-
metallic existing fence or wall (max. height: 0.50 m from the ground). The wire must not
be taut as variations in temperature may cause it to expand or contract.
