opposite side of the house. When at a distance
from the corner of the house equal to the con-
tainment field width less one foot, do a hairpin
turn and continue positioning the wire a distance
of the field width plus three feet away from itself.
Proceed around the back yard until you return to
the opening leading to the wall transmitter. This
design will keep the back entrances to the house
free from stimulation.
Your containment installation can be customized
to protect areas such as gardens, pools, and spe-
cific landscaping. To accomplish this, encircle the
protected area with containment wire. Twist a
length of boundary wire equal to the distance
between the protected area and the containment
perimeter. Use waterproof splices to connect the
twisted wire to the containment wire at the
perimeter and at the protected area. The con-
tainment signal is cancelled where the twisted
wire is located thus allowing your dog to run
around the garden or pool without receiving stim-
ulation. The containment signal around the pro-
tected area will keep your dog out just as the
perimeter containment wire keeps him in.
Once you are satisfied with the layout of your con-
tainment system, it is time to choose a proper
location for the wall transmitter.
B.Installing the Wall Transmitter
1 . Selecting a Location for the Wa l l
Transmitter - Select a location for the wall trans-
mitter that is within five feet of a standard,
grounded 110-volt household outlet and that will
provide easy access to an exterior wall where
the containment wire can penetrate. If possible,
avoid plugging the unit into an outlet that is pro-
tected by a ground fault current interru p t e r
(GFCI). The GFCI will not interfere with the nor-
mal operation of your system, but in rare cases
lightning strikes may cause a GFCI outlet to trip
(disconnect power), and you would need to reset
the GFCI to restore household power to the sys-
tem. Also check the location where you want to
bring the outside wires through the wall and into
the wall transmitter to avoid electrical or tele-
phone wires, television cables, or water pipes.
Even after checking, there may be unknown
wires or pipes inside the wall. Therefore, con-
sider going through a windowsill or doorframe
whenever possible. Mark the desired location
with a pencil.
The transmitter may be mounted on a hollow
wall or directly to a wall stud using the provided
mounting hardware. The wall transmitter will
withstand freezing temperatures, but it is not
waterproof. Therefore, it is best to locate the
transmitter in a dry, enclosed area where the
temperature range will be between 32
O
F and
110
O
F (0
O
C to 45
O
C). Preferable locations are
the garage, laundry room, office, or finished
basements. For ease in accessing the wall
transmitter, mount the transmitter at least four
feet from the floor.
2.Installing the Wall Transmitter - After select-
ing a location for the wall transmitter, use a pen-
cil to transfer the screw hole locations on the
side of the wall transmitter onto the wall. Make
sure there are no electrical wires or other
objects directly behind the mounting-hole loca-
tions that may be damaged when the mounting
screws are installed.
For hollow wall installations, drill 1/4-inch diame-
ter holes at the marked locations and tap in the
