Ground Wire
(4D)
Proper grounding, although not necessary for the system to work, will help reduce the
chance of electrical surges causing damage to your Fence Transmitter and/or Power
Adapter. To ground your unit, you will need a solid (not stranded) Ground Wire (14 to
18 gauge insulated copper wire) and a ground rod with clamp, which may be obtained
at most electrical supply stores. Connect one end of the Ground Wire to the Ground
Terminal located on the Fence Transmitter and the other end of the Ground Wire to
the ground rod. The ground rod must be buried at least three feet into the ground and
located as close as possible to the Fence Transmitter.
Fuse Protection
(4E)
The Fence Transmitter is also equipped with a 250 volt, ½ amp fuse to protect the unit’s
electronic circuitry from electrical power surges. To locate the fuse, slide off the lid on
the back of the Fence Transmitter. A spare fuse is also provided.
