Make sure your splice is secure. If your splice pulls loose, the entire system will fail. Run the boundary wire to the fence transmitter through a window, under a door, through a crawl space vent, or any other appropriate available access.

You can also carefully drill a hole through your wall. Strip the wire coating ends of the boundary wire approximately 1 cm, exposing the copper wire. Insert the boundary wires into the boundary wire terminals on the fence transmitter. Turn the boundary width control knob to This will set the warning zone at the maximum width. Plug the power adaptor into the power jack and a standard wall outlet.

The power light and loop indicator lights should come on. If this does not happen, contact our Customer Care Centre. To make a splice: Strip approximately 1 cm of insulation off the ends of the boundary wires to be spliced. Make sure the copper of the wire is not corroded. Ensure that there is no copper exposed beyond the end of the wire nut.

Tie a knot cm from the wire nut. Ensure that the wire nut is secure on the wire splice. Once you have securely spliced the wires together, open the lid of the gel-filled splice capsule and insert the wire nut as deeply as possible into the waterproof gel inside the capsule. Snap the lid of the capsule shut.

For proper system performance, the splice connection must be waterproof. Additional gel-filled splice capsules and wire nuts are available for purchase online or through the Customer Care Centre. If your splice pulls loose, the system will not function. You have a few options for working with a driveway as a part of your containment system.

Concrete Driveway If your driveway is concrete, you can place the boundary wire in a convenient expansion joint or create a groove using a circular saw and masonry blade.

Clean out the expansion joint or groove. Place the boundary wire in the groove Cover the wire with an appropriate water proofing compound. It may help to you to use landscape staples or half of a small piece of PVC pipe or water hose to protect the wire on either side of the driveway or sidewalk.

This will ensure that the wire isn't cut during activities such as weed trimming or mowing near the driveway. Gravel or Dirt Driveway If your drive is gravel or dirt, you can run the boundary wire through a PVC pipe or section of water hose to protect the boundary wire. Locate your original splice s and verify they have a good, solid connection.

Check your garden to determine any possible damage to the boundary wire recent digging, aerating, or rodent burrowing near the boundary wire. Unplug the transmitter. Connect both ends of your twisted Boundary wire to one boundary wire terminal. Measure and cut a test wire which is half the length of your total boundary wire footage. Connect one end of test wire to the other boundary wire terminal. Locate the halfway point of your boundary and cut the boundary wire.

Splice the other end of the test wire to either side of your boundary wire where you cut it in half. Plug in the transmitter and check the loop indicator light.

If the light is on, you can assume the break is in the other half of the boundary wire. If the light did not come on, you may assume there is a break in this portion of the boundary wire. However, there is a small chance of having more than one break in your system.

Be sure to check both halves of your entire loop. Replace the damaged boundary wire with new boundary wire. Reconnect the boundary wire to the transmitter. Check the loop indicator light. If the light is on, test the system with the receiver collar. Make sure fence transmitter is at least 1 metre from large metal objects or appliances. Make sure all boundary wire turns are gradual with a 1 metre radius.

Make sure the boundary wire is not running parallel to and within 3 metres of electrical wires, neighbouring containment systems, telephones wires, television or antenna cables, or satellite dishes.

If a neighbouring containment system may be causing an inconsistent signal, move the boundary wire further away from the neighbouring containment system. Perform the Short Loop Test If receiver collar continues to activate inconsistently — please contact our Customer Care Centre to replace transmitter. If receiver collar activates normally — possible interference from other wires or a partial wire break. Perform the wire break locator test. Follow the steps below to perform the system test: Remove the Receiver Collar from your dog and make sure a good battery is installed in the Receiver Collar.

Set the Boundary Control switch to B. Disconnect the twisted Boundary Wire from the Boundary Wire terminals on the Fence Transmitter by pressing the red release levers on the connector and pulling the wires free A.

Insert the two ends of the test loop wire into the Boundary Wire Terminals on the Transmitter. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and then back to 5.

While holding the Receiver Collar with the Test Light Tool in place, approach the wire from the outside loop 2 inches off the ground. Make a mental note of the distance where the Receiver Collar activates from the Boundary Wire. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and repeat Step 7. The distance where the Receiver Collar activates should be greater than the previous result. If more than one Receiver Collar is used on the system, repeat the above test on each collar.

Keep the Boundary Width Control knob position at Set the Boundary Control Switch to A. Set the Boundary Control Switch to C. Interpreting the Results: A. If the Power Light or the Loop Indicator Light are not both lit on the Fence Transmitter or the alarm is on, for any of the above tests, there is a problem with the Transmitter. Contact the Customer Care Centre. If both the Power and Loop Indicator Lights are on, but the Receiver Collar does not activate on the test loop wire, the Receiver Collar is not working.

If the Transmitter Power and Loop Indicator Lights are on in each of the 3 Boundary Control Switch positions andthe Receiver Collar is activating at different distances on the test loop wire, the problem is most likely in the containment Boundary Wire.

Perform the Wire Break Location Test. When testing is complete reconnect and verify that the Boundary Wire is plugged into the Boundary Wire Terminals and the Transmitter is plugged in. Repeat the Boundary Width testing from Step 6 until you achieve the desired Boundary Width between 4 - 7 m.

Turn the boundary width control knob anti-clockwise to decrease the distance from the boundary wire that the receiver collar activates. Make sure the boundary wire is not running too close to the house. The signal can transmit through the walls of your house.

Make sure boundary wires are twisted 30 twists per metre from boundary to the fence transmitter. Remove any large metal objects near the transmitter. If it is activating in the wrong places randomly, reprogram the receiver to the transmitter. If the problem persists, replace the receiver collar. Make sure the receiver is not on level 1. Use the test light tool to double check. Contact our Customer Care Centre for additional troubleshooting.

First, run the wire around the perimeter. When you get to the end, make a U-turn with your wire and backtrack around the coverage area. Be sure to keep the wire at least 1. When you want to cancel the signal, bring the wires together and twist them 30 times per meter.

In-ground system: creates a perimeter of any shape and can have exclusion areas within it. The wire is usually buried just under the ground and can even run through streams. You can also purchase additional wire that will create a perimeter of up to ares 25 acres selected systems only.

Wireless system: creates a circular perimeter around a central transmitter with a diameter of up to 64 meters selected systems only It is a portable system, but the dog should always be fully trained and familiar with the area in which the system is used. Power adapter. Power drill. Wire stripping pliers. Shovel or lawn edger. Tape measure. Circular saw. Phillips screwdriver. Silicone caulk. Unscrew the clear plastic cap using the battery key on the test light tool.

Hold the button to see a solid light, then release. The number of flashes represents the level. Set the collar to level 5 to create the brightest light on the test light tool during testing.

Temperature controlled. Tape the outlet cover to the wall to prevent it from falling during installation. Then unscrew the cover. Plug the surge protector into the lower outlet and screw the protector into the outlet cover. Cut two wires long enough to connect the base unit to the surge protector.

Insert and twist wires from the base unit terminals and insert the other ends of the wires into the black terminals on the surge protector. Make sure your wire has twists per foot to cancel the signal. Place the wire on top of the ground to test the layout before burying. Have the pre-planned layout from step 1 available to follow when laying out the wire.

Set the base unit according to the amount of wire used in the layout. Twist the wires to cancel the signal before plugging them into the red terminals on the surge protector. Plug the power adapter into the base unit. Position the collar under the tool and hold at the height of your pet. Test different boundary levels to find the best distance that works for the yard.

Important: Disconnect the wire from the base unit before burying. Dig a narrow trench inches deep. The trench only needs to be as wide as the wire. Place the wire loosely into the trench to allow the wire to expand with temperature changes. Single loop. Double loop. If there is an existing expansion joint, use a blunt tool, such as a wooden paint stick, to clean debris out, then run the wire through it. If there is no expansion joint, use a circular saw to cut a path, then run the wire through it.

Cover the path in the driveway with a waterproof compound, such as silicone caulk, to protect the wire from damage. The boundary wire can be run through PVC or rubber hosing underneath a gravel driveway.

Do not place in metal as it will interfere with the signal. Walk toward the boundary until the collar beeps and the tool flashes. Swap the short probes for the long probes if your pet has long or thick fur. If the strap is too long for your pet, follow the instructions below to trim the excess.

Gravel or Dirt Driveway If your drive is gravel or dirt, you can run the boundary wire through a PVC pipe or section of water hose to protect the boundary wire.
