The transmitter has 2-hour fast charge lithium battery. When the Transmitter is plugged in with DC power supply, the LCD will
display “CHA”. This means the device is charging. The LCD will display “FUL” when the transmitter is full
y charged.
Installation
Find location for Dog Fence Transmitter Unit
The transmitter unit is mains powered. It is not water resistant so must keep under cover.
Design the Layout
1.
The wire must be one continuous loop which starts from one wire connector terminal of the Dog Fence transmitter unit
and back to the other wire connector terminal.
2.
Follow existing boundary or easy to see objects (existing fence, wall, trees, edge of lawn etc for wire boundary)
3.
Wire can be buried under the ground for approx. 5cm or above the ground same height as the dog.
4.
Avoid installing the wire attached or close to any conductive metal objects like electricity cables and colourbond fence.
5.
Before fixing the wire by burying under the ground or tighten on your existing fence, make sure to test the fence with
collar to find out if any signal interferes or weak connection.
6.
Turn the boundary width control knob to mid setting (number 5). Attaching the test light tool onto the contact probes
of the collar. Holding the receiver collar
at about the dog’s height towards the boundary wire. The DF113R and DF112
collars should beep when entering the warning zone. When the DF113R collar enters the static zone, the collar should
vibrate and followed by low level of static correction. This collar has 3 levels of autorise stimulation which will increase
by itself when the collar is getting closer to the boundary wire. The DF112 collar does not have vibration warning, it has
3 levels of lower output autorise stimulation for smaller dog.
7.
Fine tune the Boundary Width Control Knob until you find the desired activation distance for the dog.
8.
If you find the strength of signal is not equal in some area, move the wire to a different location or check all the wire
joins for poor connection.
9.
Fix the wire in the location.
Place the Boundary Flags:
The Boundary Flags are a visual boundary for dogs. Place the flags along the warning zone of the boundary in every 3 to 5
metres. Hold the Receiver Collar at
the dog’s
height and slowly walk towards to the Warning Zone until the it (vibrates/beeps).
Place a flag immediately into the ground when the collar (vibrates/beeps). Walk back into the Pet Area until the collar warning
stops. Repeat this process around the Warning Zone until it is marked with Boundary Flags.
Fitting the collar on the dog:
The collar should be fitted properly while the dog is standing so the contact probes have good contact with the
dog’s skin. Long
contact probes should be used for long/thick hair dog. After fitting the collar on the dog, you should be able to fit a finger tip
between the contact probes and dog’s skin. A loose fit can allow
the collar to mov
e around on the dog’s neck. When this
happens, the contact probes may rub around dog’s skin and cause irritation. The dog may also
receive intermittent stimulation
which makes the fence system not as effective on the dog.
Please Note: leaving a static correction collar on a dog for an extended period of time can also cause skin irritation. Please check
dog’s skin everyday after taking the collar off. If the dog is to wear the collar for a long period, occasionally reposition
the collar
or moving the col
lar to different spot on the dog’s neck.
Preferably no longer than 10 hours at any one time.
