be crossing. If you are crossing a gravel or dirt drive, you will need to protect your wire, such as
by running it through PVC pipe.
D. NECESSARY: For transmitters, a grounding rod and ground clamp can be obtained at any
electrical distributor.
III. Installation Procedures
As with any project, careful planning will make the job much easier. To begin, lay out the area
you plan to “fence” on a sheet of graph paper. The transmitter will transmit a signal up to 9 m
(30’) from your boundary wire. You want to be sure to leave enough area so that your dog can
move about freely within the boundaries.
There are a few other things you need to keep in mind when planning your “fence”.
1) The wire must make a continuous loop back to the transmitter.
2) Twisting the wires cancels the signal. (See Illustration.) However, twisting three or more wires
does not cancel the signal. Wires must be traveling in opposite directions to cancel the signal.
Example: When you connect wire to the terminal to begin your “fence”, make your completed
loop and twist the wires when you are coming back to the terminal. Make at least 32 twists per
meter.
3) Always round corners (make 2 m (6’) radius turns) when you are making turns. Square corners
confuse the signal.
Note: When installing a double loop as illustrated in samples B, C, F, wire must be separated 1 m
to 1.5 m (3’ to 5’) to avoid canceling the signal.
After you have planned your fence design you are ready to begin installation.
Step 1: Select location for transmitter.
Transmitter should be located INDOORS ONLY in a dry, protected area that is above 32 degrees
Fahrenheit (0° Celsius), not exposed to the sun, typically in a garage. To avoid signal interference
install away from any major appliances such as: hot water heater, metal shelving, air conditioner,
and metal on garage doors. DO NOT mount your transmitter next to a breaker box. Do not run
wire along with electrical wires, telephone wires, television cables, antenna wires, and near
satellite dishes. Be sure to avoid crossing power lines. If you are unsure of the location of your
cables or power lines, check with your local utilities before installation.
CAUTION: Do Not install in a barn or metal shed.
A risk of electric shock or fire could result if transmitter is exposed to water or cold weather
damage.
Before burying the wire, lay the wire along your proposed boundary, connect it to the transmitter
and turn the system on. Then, test the collar on boundary wire to ensure it is working properly.
Burying the wire is not necessary for the transmission of the radio signal. Burying is
recommended to prevent damage to the wire or transmitter and to avoid possible injuries to
persons tripping over the exposed wire.
VERY IMPORTANT: Be sure to thoroughly test your system before burying wire.
Step 2: Cut a trench one to three inches deep along your previously planned boundary.
