Prepare the Boundary Programming Unit
The Boundary Programming Unit (BPU) is a hand-held device that is used to define a Boundary Area and
program the Receiver Collar. The BPU includes modes that allow you to test the boundary flag locations, scan
the boundary, program the boundary, set-up various functions within the Receiver Collar, and add multiple
Receiver Collars.
Install Battery in Boundary Programming Unit
1. Remove back cover from the Boundary Programming Unit.
2. Insert 9 volt battery.
3. Replace back cover.
Turn On the Boundary Programming Unit
1. The ON/OFF switch is located at the top of the BPU near the cable exit location
(
4A
). When the BPU is first turned ON, the BPU will start in the TEST MODE. This is
indicated by the triangular Mode Cursor blinking underneath printed TEST MODE
on the BPU. The Test Mode allows you to test potential boundary flag locations.
2. From the main menu, use the Up, Down, Left, or Right keypad buttons to navigate
to the different menus. Each main menu heading will be displayed and briefly
describe the purpose for each of the modes.
3. To select a menu item, press the OK button and the Mode Cursor will stop blinking
Power
Switch
4A
and will be continuously indicated while in that mode.
4. Press the Back button (the keypad with the arrow) at any time to back out of menus and return to the main
menu. In some of the menus, a smaller blinking cursor is used to indicate when a selection is to be made.
Within the BPU system settings are user selectable features that allow you to customize the way the system
functions. This section describes each of these features and how they function.
Receiver Collar Settings
Correction Level:
Used to program the Static Correction Level into the Receiver Collar.
Warning Zone Width:
Used to program the distance between the Warning Zone and the Static Correction
Area. You can select three distances, Min, Average, and Max. These distances correspond to 1 foot, 3 foot and
5 foot respectively. The default setting is the Average warning zone width.
Max Range Correction, Enable Correction beyond maximum Fence Transmitter Range:
This feature is used
in conjunction with a partial boundary. Enabling this feature protects your dog from wandering away from the
unprogrammed portion of the boundary. For example, if you have a partial boundary in your back yard and the
dog escapes out your front door, the Receiver Collar will generate a Static Correction when the dog reaches the
maximum Transmitter range if this feature is enabled. The maximum Fence Transmitter range that the Receiver
will generate a Static Correction is approximately 110 feet. The default setting is YES which enables this feature.
Sleep Mode:
Enable Sleep Mode to extend battery life. This feature is used to program whether the Receiver
Collar is allowed to go into a Sleep Mode to conserve battery life when your dog is not moving. For the
Receiver Collar to go into the Sleep Mode the Receiver Collar location must be at least 20 feet away from
the programmed boundary, at least 12 feet away from the Transmitter, and must have remained in the same
location (i.e. not more than 6 inches of movement) for at least 15 seconds. Under typical conditions the battery
life with sleep mode enabled should be 10 to 14 days depending upon frequency of dog’s sleeping habit when
wearing the collar. With the Sleep Mode disabled, the battery life is reduced to approximately 3 to 9 days. The
default setting is YES which enables this feature.
Battery Status:
Used to determine the charge status of the receiver battery. Before starting to program a
boundary, make sure that the Receiver Collar is fully charged.
Boundary Status:
Used to verify that a valid boundary has been programmed into the Receiver Collar.
