and distance your dog has to properly react to the system. However,
if yard space is limited, the eld width can be reduced to just a few
feet by turning the Field Width dial counter-clockwise. When you vary
the effective eld width of your system, the X-10’s unique Pulsed
Proportional Stimulus System will automatically adjust to the new eld
strength setting.
Power Boost Switch
This feature boosts the available output power of your transmitter for
very large areas or to overcome special environmental conditions. We
recommend that you use the TX-1 in “NOR” (normal) mode for wire
lengths less than 2,000 feet. If you are using more than 2,000 feet of wire
you may nd the “MAX” mode useful in increasing the maximum possible
eld width.
In some cases, rare environmental conditions such as a high content
of iron in your soil may reduce your eld width. If you nd your system
does not achieve acceptable eld width in your particular installation,
using the “MAX” setting, even for smaller areas, may overcome the
problem.
Quick Connect Wire Terminals
At the bottom of the Base Station Transmitter you will nd a hinged
door which gives you access to two quick connect wire terminals. The
boundary wire easily plugs into these terminals by simply depressing the
tab and inserting the wire end. The wire should be stripped by ¼ inch at
the end before insertion. No other preparation is required.
Optional Rechargeable Back-up Battery
One of the unique features of your TX-1 is the optional, rechargeable
Back-up battery. The rechargeable battery unit is sold separately. Use
of the back-up Battery will insure that your X-10 system continues to
contain your dog during a power outage. When power is restored, the
system will automatically recharge the battery so, you never have to
worry about changing batteries. The back-up battery option is available
from the retailer from whom you purchased your X-10 system and is also
available online at www.hitecpet.com. If you choose not to purchase
the Back-up Battery option your system will work perfectly with the
AC adapter as long as you have uninterrupted household wall current
available.
