Step 8: Test the Fence Direction

You will want to verify that your fence is transmitting in the right direction 
to contain your pet. You will need to do this test in YardMax

®

 mode, 

regardless of which mode you plan to use.

•  The receiver collar should NOT be on your 

pet when the system is tested. Your pet may 
receive an unintended correction.

•  To prevent an unintended correction for your 

pet, test the boundary location and width 
after any change.

1.  Make sure the fence transmitter is on and that the receiver collar 

has been charged.

2.  Set the fence transmitter to YardMax mode (A) and turn the 

boundary width dial to 3 (

8A

).

3.  Turn on the receiver collar by holding the mode button for 

1 second.

Note:

 

When you remove the receiver collar from the charger, or first 

turn it on, the receiver collar will automatically go into ReadyTest

®

 

startup mode (Refer to Step 7).

4.  Set the static correction on the receiver collar to level 6.
5.  Place the test light tool contacts onto the contact points of the 

receiver collar (

8B

). 

6.  Starting inside the pet area, hold the receiver collar about 1 ft. 

above the ground with the contact points facing upwards and 
approach a straight section of your boundary wire that is at least 
50 ft. long. 

7.  As you cross the wire (

8C

), you will hear the warning tone and see 

the test light flash as you walk through the correction zone. If the 
test light tool does not flash:
a.  Move the receiver collar closer to the ground
b.  Change the dial to a higher number than 3—especially for a 

larger installation

c.  Turn around and walk back across the boundary wire into 

the pet area to see if it illuminates the test light in that direction 
instead. If it does, reverse the wires at the connector to the 
fence transmitter. Then repeat the test.

8.  Once you have verified that things are working as they should be, 

use the labels (

8D

) to mark the connections to the surge protector 

and fence transmitter. If anything gets disconnected, you will be 
able to easily reconnect it.
