STEP 4
Connect the Wires to the Fence Transmitter
Boundary Wire
(4A)
1. Run the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter through a window, under a door, through a
crawl space vent, or any other appropriate available access. You can also drill a hole through
your wall.
2. Strip the ends of the Boundary Wire approximately 1.3 cm (1/2").
3. Insert the Boundary Wires into the Boundary Wire Terminals on the Fence Transmitter. Make sure
wires do not touch each other at the terminals.
4. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10. This will set the Warning Zone at the
maximum width.
5. Plug the Power Adapter into the Power Socket and a working outlet. The Power Adapter comes
with the North American plug installed and additional plugs for the UK, Europe, and Australia. To
change the plug:
a. Push in the tab on the Power Adapter and remove the plug by sliding it off
as shown (
4B
).
b. Slide the proper plug for your electrical outlet onto the Power Adapter
as shown (
4C
).
6. The Power Light and Loop Indicator Lights should come on. If this does not
happen, see the “Troubleshooting” section.
Ground Wire
(4D)
Proper grounding, although not necessary for the system to work, will help reduce the
chance of electrical surges causing damage to your Fence Transmitter and/or Power
Adapter. To ground your unit, you will need a solid (not stranded) Ground Wire (14
to 18 gauge insulated copper wire) and a ground rod with clamp, which may be obtained at most
electrical supply stores. Connect one end of the Ground Wire to the Ground Terminal located on the
Fence Transmitter and the other end of the Ground Wire to the ground rod. The ground rod must be
buried at least 90 cm (3 ft) into the ground and located as close as possible to the Fence Transmitter.
Fuse Protection
(4E)
The Fence Transmitter is also equipped with a 250 volt, ½ amp fuse to protect the unit’s electronic
circuitry from electrical power surges. To locate the fuse, slide off the lid on the back of the Fence
Transmitter. A spare fuse is also provided.
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning
storm. If the storm is close enough for you to hear thunder, it is close
enough to create hazardous surges.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter indoors in dry
location only.
If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). In rare cases, nearby
lightning strikes may cause the GFCI or RCD to trip. Without power your
dog may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the GFCI or RCD to
restore power to the system.
For added protection, when unused for long periods of time or prior to thunderstorms, unplug from
the wall outlet and disconnect the loop boundary wires. This will prevent damage to the transmitter
due to surges.
