Sample Layouts
Sample 1: Perimeter Loop (Single Loop)
The perimeter loop is the most common layout. This will allow your pet to
freely and safely roam your entire property (
2C
). It can also protect gardens,
pools and landscaping (
2D
).

Sample 2 (2E): Perimeter Loop Using Existing Fence (Single Loop)
This layout allows you to include your existing fence as part of your layout
and keep your pet from jumping out or digging under your existing fence. It
reduces the amount of wire which will need to be buried. From the fence
transmitter, run the wire to A, A to B, B to C, C to D, D to E, E to A, twist the
wires from A back to the fence transmitter. See the “Install the Boundary
Wire” section for more information on attaching the wire to a fence.

Locate the Fence Transmitter
•
Place the fence transmitter:
•
In a dry, well ventilated, protected area (
1A, 1B
).
•
In an area where temperatures do not fall below -10°F (-23°C) or above 140°F (40°C) (e.g., garage,
basement, shed, closet).
•
Secured to a stationary surface using appropriate mounting hardware (not included). A mounting
template is included in the back of this guide.
•
At least 3 ft. from large metal objects or appliances as these items may 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.
To prevent fires and electrical hazards, install the fence transmitter in buildings that are in accordance
with state and local electrical codes.

Lay Out the System
Basic Planning Tips
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. Avoid these cables when you dig.
For information regarding how these underground wires can affect your system’s operation, see
“Position the Boundary Wire”.
•
The boundary wire MUST start at the fence transmitter and make
a continuous loop back (
2A
).
•
Twisting the boundary wire cancels the signal and allows your pet
to cross over that area without correction. Plastic or metal piping
will not cancel the signal. Twist the boundary wire 10-12 times per
ft. to cancel the signal (
2A
).
•
Design a layout that is suitable for your yard (sample layouts are
provided in this section).
•
Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum of 3 ft.
radius to produce a more consistent boundary (
2B
). Do not use
sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in your boundary.
•
To properly contain your pet, we recommend setting a boundary
width for the warning and static correction zones to approximately
12-20 ft. (6-10 ft. on each side of the wire).
•
Avoid making passageways too narrow for your pet to move about
freely (e.g., along the sides of a house).
•
The receiver collar can be activated inside the house if the boundary
wire runs along the outside wall of the house. If this occurs, remove your
pet’s receiver collar before bringing him inside, decrease the range using
the boundary width control knob or consider an alternative layout.
