Locate the Transmitter

• Place the transmitter INDOORS ONLY and near an 

  electrical outlet.  The transmitter is not waterproof.

• Install the transmitter at least three feet from any 

  large metal objects such as breaker boxes, water heaters, 

  metal garage doors, or washer and/or dryer.

• Secure the transmitter to a stationary surface using 

  the appropriate mounting hardware. A mounting

   template is located on the back cover of this manual.

• When installing the transmitter make sure the wire twists 

  are not cut off or pinched by a window, door or garage 

  door.

• Install the transmitter only in buildings that meet state and 

  local electrical codes, to prevent fires and electrical hazards.

• If it is necessary to drill a hole make sure there are no electrical wires, nails or screws inside the 

  area you are drilling.  

Connecting Wire to the Transmitter

• Strip the ends of the boundary wire  

 

  approximately 1/2 inch.

• Connect the boundary wire to the boundary 

  wire terminals.

• Turn the Boundary Width Control to the 

  number 10 setting.  This will set the boundary 

  warning zone at the maximum width. The smaller 

  the number setting, the more narrow the    

  boundary warning zone will be.

• Plug the AC power adapter into the power jack 

  on the transmitter and into an electrical outlet.

• The power indicator and loop connection 
  indicator lights should be on.

Layout the Boundary Wire

• Lay the wire along your proposed boundary.  Connect it to the transmitter.

• Running wire parallel to electrical wires, telephone wires, television cables or antenna, or near satellite 
  dishes will result in signal interference.  If you must cross, do so at 90 degree angles.

• Twisting the boundary wires will cancel the signal in a specific area. This will allow your pet to run over 
  this area. Current in the wires must be traveling in the opposite directions to cancel the signal. Make 
  at least ten twists per foot to cancel the signal in the twisted wires.
