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).
• 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 0.3 cm (1/8 in) 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 local electrical codes.

Lay Out the System
Basic Planning Tips
• The Boundary Wire MUST
start at the Fence Transmitter
and make a continuous loop
back (2A).
• 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.
• Fence planning software
is available online at
www.petsafe.net/fence.

• Twisting 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 (2A).
• Always use gradual turns at the corners to produce a more consistent boundary (2B).
Do not use sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in your boundary.
• Avoid making passageways too narrow for your pet to move about freely
(e.g., along the sides of a house).
• The Receiver Collar can be activated inside the house if the Boundary Wire runs along the
outside wall of the house. If this occurs, remove your pet’s Receiver Collar before bringing
him inside, decrease the range using the Boundary Width Control knob or consider an
alternative layout.
