The boundary wire allows you to isolate one or more avoidance areas within your
house that are off-limits to your pet. Follow these general guidelines when placing the
boundary wire.
I
All wires should be placed so
that they do not interfere with
normal household activities.
I
Carefully plan the location
where you want to create the
signal field(s) (see diagram).
Boundary wire that is not
separated to create a signal
field may emit a slight radio
signal which could activate the
receiver collar if your pet lies
directly on top of the wire.
I
Do not install boundary wires
next to baseboard heating
units as the heating units could
pick up the radio signal.

The boundary wire supplied with the transmitter is a double wire designed to be
separated in the areas where you want to create a signal field (the avoidance area).
When the two wires are next to one another, there is no signal field. T

s.. Separating the wires increases the size of the
signal field as well as the signal range (the distance the signal travels from the wire). A
signal field may be created in a single location or multiple locations on the wire.
When wiring a door opening, the two wires are usually spaced about 10 inches apart.
For larger areas, the wires should be further apart.
The boundary wire must form a
continuous loop for there to be
a signal field. To accomplish
this, you must strip and splice
the final ends of the boundary
wire together.
The boundary wire carries a
harmless radio signal. You do
not need to worry about an
electrical shock from the wires.
The power indicator light will be
“red” (or it will be “off”) if you
have not closed the boundary
loop or if the wire is broken.
