Install the Surge Protector & Connect the Wires (4A)
• 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.
• Turn off power to outlet before you install or remove your surge protector.
• Risk of electrical shock or fire. Use surge protector only with a duplex outlet with center screw. Attach unit with
long screw supplied.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the fence transmitter and surge protector indoors in dry location only.
• Do not install the surge protector if there is not at least 30 ft. (10 m) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and
electrical service panel.
• If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter). In rare cases, nearby
lightning strikes may cause the GFCI to trip. Without power your dog may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to
reset the GFCI to restore power to the system.
• Plug the surge protector into a grounded (3-prong) outlet that is within 5 ft. of the fence transmitter. ALWAYS use a
grounded (3-prong) outlet to ensure maximum protection.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the surge protector plug. Do not use a 3-prong plug to 2-prong outlet converter.
Doing so will make the surge protector ineffective against surges or spikes.
1. Turn the power OFF to the outlet
that the surge protector and fence
transmitter will be plugged into.
2. We recommend that, if possible, use
the outlet center screw that holds the
cover plate in place to secure the surge
protector to the outlet. To do this, tape
the top of the cover plate to the wall,
then remove the cover plate center
screw. Plug the surge protector into the
lower outlet and then secure the cover
plate using the longer screw included
with the protector. The screw is for
mechanical attachment only and does
not ground the protector. Remove the
tape and turn ON the power to the outlet.
3. Run the boundary wire 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.
4. Strip 3⁄8 in. of insulation from the ends of the boundary wire. Insert
the stripped ends into the 2 left red connector holes on the bottom of
the surge protector labeled “Loop” (
4B
). There should be 1 wire in each
connector hole. Press the plastic tab, insert the wires and release the tab.
Make sure the wires do not touch each other at the terminals.
Verify that the boundary loop and transmitter wires connect to the proper surge
protector terminals. Reversed connections will result in an increased risk of surge
related damage.
5. Determine the length of wire needed to pass from the surge protector to the fence transmitter.
Measure and cut 2 lengths of wire, then strip 3⁄8 in. of insulation at both ends. Twist the 2 lengths
together, with at least 10-12 twists per ft., so the wires will not send out a signal.
6. Insert the ends of the twisted transmitter wires into the right 2 black connectors at the bottom of the
surge protector labeled “Transmitter”.
7. Press the red plastic tabs on the fence transmitter and insert the opposite ends of the twisted wire
into the boundary wire terminals.
8. Turn the boundary width control knob to 10. This will set the boundary width at the maximum width.
9. Plug in the transmitter power adapter to the outlet on the front of the surge protector.
10. The power light and loop indicator lights should come on. If this does not happen, see the
“Troubleshooting” section.
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.
