Placing and Connecting the Base Station
Connect the Perimeter Wire connector to the Base
Station board (Figure 1.19).
Before securing the Power Supply cord to the Base
Station, carefully lay the length of the cord out,
beginning from the Base Station and leading to the
main power supply and insure it is fastened securely to
the ground and does not present a tripping hazard.
Do not cross it over surfaces where it cannot be
fastened, such as sidewalks or driveways. For ultimate
protection, consider an underground placement within a
protective conduit.
Connect the Power Supply cord to the Base Station
board. See Figure 1.20.
Route the Power Supply cord into the Base Station
cover as shown in Figure 1.21.
Close the cover of the Base Station; confirm it is locked
well in its place (Figure 1.22).
Align the Base Station on the Perimeter Wire, so the wire is aligned with the two central lines
marked at the front and rear side of the Base Station, as shown in Figure 1.23. Do not fasten the
Base Station yet, as you will want to check its final position first.
Connect the power supply to a regular household receptacle 230 Volts AC.
A small flashing green light in the Base Station cover indicates the system is on and functioning
properly. Continuous beeps indicate a disconnected/broken perimeter wire. Discontinuous beeps
indicate poor splicing of perimeter wires or perimeter wire, which is too long (the max allowed in
one loop is 500 meters).
