Adjusting the width of the static-correction zone
Turn the Boundary-width control knob CLOCKWISE to INCREASE the width of the static-
correction zone. Turn ANTI-CLOCKWISE to REDUCE it. Repeat this procedure as needed until
the collar-receiver beeps and the test light flashes at the desired distance from the boundary-wire
Note:
The numbers on the Boundary-width control knob indicate signal strength i.e. the higher the
number the wider the boundary.
TIP:
If adjustment of the Boundary--width control knob does not give the desired range, change
the setting (A, B or C) of the Boundary-control switch (located on the side of the transmitter).
TIP:
If using a Double Loop, you may need to increase the distance of separation between the
boundary-wires to achieve the desired range (Sample 3, page 6)
Testing the collar-receiver
The collar-receiver beeps as a warning tone and ticks when delivering a static-correction. Walk
towards the boundary-wire, as previously instructed in diagrams
6E
,
6F
&
6G
. On entering the
static-correction zone, the collar-receiver will beep, tick and the test-light should flash. This
indicates the static-correction has been delivered
(6G)
.
It is recommended that you repeat this test in several areas of the dog containment area to ensure
the system is working where it is intended.
Once complete, remove the test-light from the collar-receiver prongs. You are now ready to
complete the installation of the boundary-wire. If the collar-receiver did not beep and the test light
did not flash, please refer to the
‘
Troubleshooting
’ section (page 17).
STEP 7:
Installing the boundary-wire
The following section covers various options to safely install the boundary-wire.
Attaching the boundary-wire to an existing fence
The boundary-wire of the MGG Maxi Dog Containment system can be attached using cable ties to
an existing fence. The boundary-wire can be attached as high as needed, although you will need
to ensure that the boundary-width is set to a sufficient range for the collar-receiver to receive the
signal.
Caution:
Do not staple the boundary-wire to the fence as this may damage the insulation and the
function of the system
Burying the boundary-wire
In situations where the boundary-wire cannot be attached to an existing fence, it is recommended
to bury the wire as follows:
•
Using the edge of a flat spade, cut a slit approximately 2 to 6cm deep along your planned
boundary
