placing wire into the holes.
The other single boundary
wire is placed into one of
the other holes. T h a t
leaves one extra hole that
is not used.A pair of pliers
should be used to press down on the top black
part of the splice.
3.Plugging in the Power Adapter - Make sure
the Field Width Adjustment Knob is in the OFF
position. Plug the power adapter into a nearby
110-volt household outlet and the other end into
the power port on the right side of the wall trans-
mitter.
4. Checking Out the Installation - Make sure
your dog is not wearing the collar and no one is
touching the collar probes. Turn the Field Width
Adjustment Knob clockwise until a click is heard.
This turns the system on. The LED on the wall
transmitter should be solid red to indicate the
boundary loop is properly connected. If the red
light does not illuminate, refer to Containment
Operation, Section 6. Troubleshooting.
F.Testing the System
With the boundary wire in place and properly con-
nected and the collar receiver battery installed, it
is time to set the containment field and test the
system. THE COLLAR RECEIVER SHOULD
NOT BE ON YOUR DOG WHEN THE SYSTEM
IS TESTED.
1. Setting the Yard Size - If you are using a
total boundary wire length of 1,000 feet or less,
set the Yard Size Jumper to SMALL. Otherwise,
set it to large.Refer to Section 1.F for setting the
jumper.
2. Adjusting the Containment Field - The
width of the containment field is adjusted using
the transmitter’s Field Width Adjustment Knob.
Start with a low setting. Move the knob to the 9
o’clock position and test the field width of the
system. For the safety of your dog,the field
width of the system must be tested whenev-
er an adjustment is made to the containment
field. Please follow the instructions below.
3. Testing the Field Width of the System -
Select a section of straight boundary wire that is
at least 50 feet long and perform the contain-
ment field test at the center of the selected sec-
tion. To test the containment field, attach the
test light to the probes and slowly walk the col-
lar receiver toward the boundary wire. The col-
lar receiver should be held at the height of your
dog’s neck with the probes pointed upward.
Listen for the warning sound and watch for the
test light to illuminate. The wider the contain-
ment field, the less chance the dog can run
through the field.
The containment field should extend at least 8
to 12 feet on each side of the wire. This helps
make the Run-Through Prevention more effec-
tive. To increase the field width, turn the Field
Width Adjustment Knob clockwise and recheck
the distance the signal is broadcasting from the
w i r e. To decrease, turn counterclock w i s e.
Repeat this procedure until you are satisfied
with the location of the stimulation throughout
the installation.
Note: When testing the field width, the collar
receiver may demonstrate the over-stimulation
p r evention safety feature described in
Containment Operation, Section 1.H.3. Over-
Stimulation Prevention.
4. Verifying the Safe Part of the Yard - Once
the field width is set, slowly walk the collar
receiver around the entire boundary perimeter
maintaining a distance from the wire that is at
least three feet farther than the field width set-
ting selected in the previous step. Verify the col-
lar receiver does not activate. Inconsistencies
in the field width may occur where there are
buried electrical, telephone, cable TV or other
wires or metallic objects in the yard. The con-
tainment signal from the boundary wire can
couple onto the buried wires and extend the sig-
nal into the safe part of the yard. Repositioning
the boundary wire in these areas can minimize
the unwanted signal coupling; however, you
may not be able to completely eliminate the
effect. The unwanted signal coupling can be
