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.
