Step 7: Set the Boundary Width and Test the Receiver Collar
With the boundary wire in place and properly connected, it is time to set the boundary width and test the system.
Always remove your pet’s receiver collar before performing any transmitter testing or
adjustments. This will prevent unintended static corrections.
Note:
The receiver collar is waterproof, which can make the
tone hard to hear.
The flashing test light, when held to the contact points, indicates
that the receiver collar is delivering static correction. To best
utilize the automatic run-through prevention feature, the
containment boundary width should extend at least 6 to 10 ft.
won each side of the boundary wire (total boundary width of
12 to 20 ft.).
1. Apply power to the fence transmitter with the supplied
power adapter.
2. The boundary width is adjusted by using the transmitter’s
boundary width control knob. Turn the knob counter
clockwise until the loop indicator light is no longer lit. Turn
the knob clockwise and increase by 2 numbers. The light
should turn on.
3. To identify the warning and static correction zones make
sure the static correction on the receiver collar is set at
level 5.
4. Test the boundary width of the system by selecting a section of
straight boundary wire that is at least 50 ft. long. Start inside
the center of the pet area.
5. Place the test light tool contacts (
7A
) against the receiver
collar contact points (
7B
). Hold the receiver collar at your
pet’s neck height (
7C
) with the contact points pointing up and
the PetSafe
®
logo facing the boundary wire. Slowly walk
toward the boundary wire until you hear the warning tone
(
7D
). When you hear the warning tone, you have identified
the boundary width distance (static correction zone).
6. 2 seconds after the warning tone, the test light will begin
to flash. This flashing light can aid you in identifying the
boundary width if you have difficulty hearing the tone. To
prevent the receiver collar from going into over-correction
protection mode, walk back into the pet area until the toning
stops. If the receiver collar does not tone at the desired
range, adjust the boundary width control knob to obtain the
desired range.
