How the System Works
The system works by producing a radio signal from the Fence Transmitter through the Boundary
Wire up to 854 m (2800 ft) of Boundary Wire. The Boundary Wire is buried or attached to a fi xed
object to enclose the Pet Area. You temporarily defi ne this Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a
visual aid in training your pet. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that touch his
neck, and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely in the Pet Area. You select the type of correction
your dog receives: tone-only or simultaneous tone-and-Static Correction. When your pet reaches
the Warning Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning beep. If your pet continues into the Static
Correction Zone or lingers in the Warning Zone, a safe Static Correction will be delivered, based
on your mode setting, until your pet returns to the Pet Area or up to 20 seconds.
Key Definitions
Fence Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal through the Boundary Wire.
Pet Area: Area within the Warning Zone where your pet can roam freely.
Warning Zone: Outer edge of the Pet Area where your pet’s Receiver Collar begins to beep,
warning him not to go into the Static Correction Zone. Depending on your mode setting, if your
pet lingers in the Warning Zone for 2 seconds, it will receive a Static Correction.
Static Correction Zone: Zone beyond the Warning Zone where your pet’s Receiver Collar will
emit a Static Correction, signalling him to return to the Pet Area.
Boundary Width: Combination of the Warning Zone and the Static Correction Zone.
Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.
Contact Points: Deliver the safe Static Correction when your pet moves into the
Static Correction Zone.
Mode Button: Adjusts the type of correction and/or level of Static Correction your pet receives
in the Warning or Static Correction Zone.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the Mode at which the Receiver Collar is set. This light also
serves as a low battery indicator
.
Power Socket: Where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter. The Fence Transmitter
is powered by a standard outlet.
Boundary Control Switch: Adjust according to the length of Boundary Wire used.
Boundary Wire Terminals: Where the Boundary Wires connect to the Fence Transmitter
in order to complete a continuous loop.
Loop Indicator Light: Indicates that the Boundary Wire makes a complete loop, enabling
the signal to be transmitted.
Boundary Width Control: Adjusts the width of the Warning and Static Correction Zones.
Note: Adjusting the knob does not change the level of Static Correction on the Receiver Collar.
