Test the Barrier Area
Refer to Wireless Option Step 3 on page 7 for instructions on how to test the Barrier
Area. Keep the following in mind when testing the range using the wire option:
• Start with the range set to 3 segments and adjust the range up to 6 segments to get
your desired coverage. Press the (+) button 3 times to set the range to 3 segments.
• When holding the Receiver Collar to check the range, walk toward the Boundary
Wire instead of the Barrier Transmitter.
Once you are satisfied that your system is functioning properly and you are
receiving the desired barrier coverage, you are ready to bury the Boundary
Wire. If the Receiver Collar did not beep or the Test Light did not flash, see the
“Troubleshooting” section.
Install the Boundary Wire
For best results, bury the Boundary Wire to protect it. The Boundary Wire can be
placed under mulch, however, be sure that the Boundary Wire is placed in low traffic
areas to reduce the risk of wire damage.
To Bury the Boundary Wire
1. Cut a trench 1-3 inches deep along your planned boundary.
2. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to
expand and contract with temperature variations.
3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the
trench. Be careful not to damage the Boundary Wire insulation.
To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence
The Boundary Wire can be attached to a chain link fence, split
rail fence, or a wooden privacy fence. The Boundary Wire can be
attached as high as needed. However, make sure the Boundary
Range is set high enough for the pet to receive the signal.
• Chain Link Fence (
7A
): Weave Boundary Wire through the links
or use plastic quick ties.
• Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (
7A
): Use staples to
attach Boundary Wire. Avoid puncturing the insulation of the
Boundary Wire.

:
Place the
Boundary Wire in a convenient expansion
joint or create a groove using a circular saw
and masonry blade. Place the Boundary Wire
in the groove and cover with an appropriate
waterproofing compound. For best results,
brush away dirt or other debris before
patching.
