STEP 1

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 freezing (e.g., garage, basement, shed, closet).
• Secured to a stationary surface using the mounting hardware. A mounting template is included in the back of this guide.
• At least 1 m (3 ft) from large metal objects or appliances as these items may interfere with the signal consistency (1C).
To mount the Fence Transmitter, screw the mounting bracket onto a stationary surface such as a wall, and slide the Fence
Transmitter onto the bracket. 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 fi res 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
For information regarding how these underground wires can affect your system's operation, see Step 3 Position the
Boundary Wire.
The Boundary Wire
• MUST
• Twisting two sides of the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your pet to cross over that area safely. Plastic or metal
piping will not cancel the signal. Twist the Boundary Wire 30 times per metre (10 times per foot) to cancel the signal
Design a layout that is suitable for your property. Sample layouts are provided in this section, and a grid for designing your
•
layout is provided in the back of this guide.
• Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum 1 m (3 ft) radius, to produce a more consistent boundary (
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 Stimulation Zones to
approximately 4 m to 7 m (2 m to 3.5 m on each side of the wire).

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.
