Install the Fence Transmitter
Place the Fence Transmitter:
• In a dr y, well ventilated, protected area (
1A, 1B
).
• In an area where tempera tures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, basement, shed).
• Secured to a stationary surface using appropriate mounting hardware (not included). A mounting template is
included in the back of this guide.
• At least 1 m (3 ft) from large metal objects or appliances as these items ma y interfere with the signal
consistency (
1C
).
Once you have mounted the Fence Transmitter, the Boundary Wire must exit the building. This can be
accomplished via a window or through a hole drilled through the wall. Ensure the drill path is clear of any utilities.
Make sure the Boundary Wire is not cut off or pinched by a window, door, or garage door, as this can damage
it over time and create a wire break. To prevent fi res and electrical hazards, install the Fence Transmitter in
buildings that are in accordance with state and local electrical codes.
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock. Use the Fence Transmitter indoors in a dry location only.

Lay Out the System
WARNING
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to
bury your wire. In most areas, this is a free service.
For information regarding how these underground wires can affect your system’s operation, see Step 3
“Position the Boundary Wire”.
Basic Planning Tips
•
The Boundary Wire
MUST
start
at the Fence Transmitter and
make
a continuous loop back (
2A
).
•
Design a layout that is suitable
for your property. Sample layouts
are provided in this section, and
a grid for designing your layout is
provided in the back of this guide.
• Fence planning software is available
online at www.petsafe.net/fence.
After you have planned and saved
your layout online, contact our
Customer Care Centre to review
and refi ne your layout.
• Twisting two sides of the
Boundary Wire cancels the signal
and allows your pet to cross over

that area safely. Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal. Twist the Boundary Wire 30 times per metre
(10 times per foot) to cancel the signal (

).
