F. Yard Size Jumper: The yard size “jumper”
allows you to customize the wall transmitter for
your installation. The wall transmitter comes from
the factory with the jumper set for a small yard
that utilizes less than 1,000 feet of boundary wire.
It can be changed to accommodate a large yard
that has more than 1,000 feet of boundary wire in
the installation. One 500-foot spool of boundary
wire is included with your system.
To access the Yard Size Jumper, turn the Field
Width Adjustment Knob to the “Off” position.
Remove the four cover screws, the Field Width
Adjustment Knob, and the front cover from the
wall transmitter. The Yard Size Jumper is located
on the right side of the circuit board. When the
jumper covers the two pins next to SMALL, the
wall transmitter is set for a small yard; when the
jumper covers the two pins next to LARGE, the
wall transmitter is set for a large yard. THE
JUMPER MUST BE IN PLACE FOR THE CON-
TAINMENT SYSTEM TO FUNCTION.
When the yard size jumper is appropri a t e l y
placed for your installation, replace the wall trans-
mitter cover, secure it with the four cover screws,
and install the Field Width Adjustment Knob with
the pointer in the “Off” position.
G. Dual Frequency Jumper: The dual frequen-
cy jumper located inside the wall transmitter is
labeled DUAL FREQ and 8.192 KHz. It should
always be set for 8.192 KHz. Do not move this
jumper unless instructed to do so by an Innotek
representative.
H. Stimulation: The stimulation delivered in the
containment system is preset. There are three
special features that increase the effectiveness
for containing your dog.
1. Pre-Stimulation Warning Tone: When the
dog reaches the edge of the signal field in the
yard, it will hear a pre-stimulation warning tone
that lasts about two seconds. If the dog does not
return to the “safe”part of the yard, it will receive
a continuous stimulation until it does re-enter the
“safe”part of the yard.
2. Run-Through Prevention: The receiver
automatically increases the stimulation when the
dog continues more than 1/3 of the way through
the signal field. For example, if the signal is
detected 12 feet from the wire and your dog
enters the signal field, this feature is activated
when the dog is eight feet from the wire. At this
point, the dog automatically receives the High
level of stimulation. The feature acts as an over-
ride to the pre-stimulation warning tone so the
dog cannot “run through” the system without
activating a strong stimulation. As the dog
retreats into the yard, the stimulation will reduce
to the preset stimulation level and then turn off
as the dog returns to the safe part of the yard.
3.Over-Stimulation Prevention: In the unlike-
ly event that your dog becomes “trapped” in the
signal field, this feature limits stimulation dura-
tion to 10 seconds. The system shuts off for 10
seconds before resuming stimulation for another
10 seconds. This pattern will repeat for a maxi-
mum of three cycles, a duration of 60-seconds.
Removing the receiver from the containment
field will reset the unit and allow normal opera-
tion.

A. Creating the Layout
When selecting a layout for your containment sys-
tem, keep it simple; complex installations are
more difficult for dogs to learn. Here are some
key points to remember:
• Consider all the obstacles - gardens, play areas,
driveways, sidewalks, pools, porches, and water
crossings.
• Utility companies must be contacted to mark the
buried utility lines.
