Test the Barrier Area
For proper operation, the maximum operating height of the receiver collar is 36 in. from
the threshold transmitter.
If you have more than one pet, set up the threshold pet barrier for your tallest pet.
Place the threshold transmitter in the desired location. If you are planning to mount on a stair,
lean it up against the back of the stair and test for proper operation before mounting. If using
on the stairs, set the system so that the receiver collar starts activating while your pet is still
on the floor and not on the stairs.
1. Keeping your hands away from the contact points, use the edge of the test light tool to turn
the receiver battery door to the “on” position.
2. Hold the receiver collar with the contact points facing up. Place the test light tool on the
contact points so that the wire in the test light tool touches the contact points (3A). The

logo on the receiver collar should face the transmitter.
3. Hold the receiver collar at the approximate height of your pet’s neck (3B). Start outside of the range and walk slowly toward the threshold transmitter.
As you reach the barrier area, the receiver collar emits a series of high-pitched tones. For each tone you hear, you should notice the test light
flashing which indicates that a progressive static stimulation is being delivered. The receiver collar’s tone is easily heard by pets, but it may be at a
volume level that is difficult for some humans to hear.
4. Check the range of the barrier area from multiple angles to ensure you are getting the desired coverage. If the setting is too low, increase by one
level and test again. If the coverage area is too great and the receiver collar is activating in areas you don’t want, decrease the level so it activates
reliably at the height of your dog’s neck. Refer to the transmitter range chart as a guide.
