Factors Affecting Signal Strength

Factors Affecting Signal Strength
Various objects can interfere with the wireless signal strength of your Wireless Fence, resulting in a gradual loss in
the measured distance of the radio signal from the Controller to a set Trigger Zone. The part of the Trigger Zone
that is obstructed by an object may bow or dip inward toward the Controller. The resulting shape of the Trigger
Zone may be slightly different from a perfect circle and the Roaming Area may be slightly reduced. When this
happens, the object between the Controller and the set Trigger Zone is said to attenuate the radio signal or the
Trigger Zone.
Obstacles that can slightly obstruct any wireless signal (including mobile phones) include: walls, trees, concrete,
foundations, bricks, above-ground bodies of water (swimming pools), people and animals. Metal objects and
mirrors have a deeper obstructing effect as well as heavily damp objects such as a tree after a strong rainstorm
or snowstorm.
The closer an obstructing object is to the Trigger Zone or the closer a metallic object such as a mirror is to the
Controller, the greater the interfering effect it can have on the Trigger Zone. Likewise, the more dense an
obstructing object is, the more severe the dip or shaping effect of the Trigger Zone.
With perfect line of sight and no obstructions between the Controller and the Havahart
®
Collar, the system will
create a Trigger Zone about 6 feet wide. With obstructions, the Trigger Zone can expand to around 13 feet wide.
Without performing complex calculations and accounting for all factors, it is very difficult to predict the exact
amount of interference different objects can cause and how the Trigger Zone and Roaming Area will be affected.

Wireless Fences perform complex algorithms, strategic distortion filtering and modular signal
amplification at a continuous rate to accommodate for and minimize interference and attenuation.
Despite all of these measures, attenuation is difficult to totally prevent. Dark glasses attenuate sunlight, lead
attenuates X-rays, buildings attenuate cell phone reception, and more than likely your home will attenuate your
dog’s Roaming Area and cause some inward dips in the Trigger Zone. In most cases the dipping should be a minor
issue that may not even be noticed.
In the event that your system experiences severe interference or attenuation with which you are not
comfortable, there are few things that you can try to counter or lessen the effects.
s
Place the Controller above or at least 3 feet away from appliances and other large metal objects like mirrors.
s
Raise the Controller to 6-8 ft or to a higher floor in the home.
s
If the first two methods prove ineffective, choosing an altogether different Fence Controller location in
the home may be necessary to mitigate the effects of a severe undesirable dip.
