How the System Works
The PetSafe
®
In-Ground Fence
™
has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all pets over 6 months of age and those
weighing up to 25 kg (55 lbs) with neck sizes 15-66 cm (6"-26"). The system works by producing a radio signal from the
Fence Transmitter through up to 1200 m (4000 feet) of Boundary Wire. The Boundary Wire is buried or attached to a fi xed
object to enclose the Pet Area. You temporarily defi ne the Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training your pet.
Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that touch his neck, and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely in the
Pet Area. When your pet reaches the Warning Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning tone. If your pet continues into the
Static Correction Zone, a safe Static Correction will be delivered through the Contact Points to get his attention until he
returns to the Pet Area.
Key Definitions
Fence Transmitter: The device that transmits the radio signal through the Boundary Wire.
Pet Area: The area within the Warning Zone where your pet can roam freely.
Warning Zone: The outer edge of the Pet Area where your pet’s Receiver Collar begins to beep, warning him not to go into
the Static Correction Zone.
Static Correction Zone: The zone beyond the Warning Zone where your pet’s Receiver Collar will emit a Static
Correction, signaling him to return to the Pet Area.
Boundary Width: The combination of the Warning Zone and the Static Correction Zone.
Receiver Collar: The device that receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.
Correction Level Button: The button to adjust the level of Static Correction your pet receives in the Static Correction Zone.
Receiver Indicator Light: The light that indicates the level of correction at which the Receiver Collar is set. This light also
serves as a low battery indicator.
Contact Points: The contacts through which the Receiver Collar delivers the safe Static Correction when your pet moves
into the Static Correction Zone.
Power Socket: Where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter. The Fence Transmitter is powered by a
standard outlet.
Boundary Control Switch: The switch to adjust according to the length of Boundary Wire used.
Ground Terminal: The terminal where the Ground Wire connects to the Fence Transmitter.
Boundary Wire Terminals: The terminals where the Boundary Wires connect to the Fence Transmitter in order to
complete a continuous loop.
Loop Indicator Light: The light that indicates that the Boundary Wire makes a complete loop, enabling the signal to be
transmitted.
Boundary Width Control: The knob that adjusts the width of the Warning and Static Correction Zones. Note: Adjusting the
knob does not change the level of Static Correction on the Receiver Collar.
