Additional Information
• Use care when using a string trimmer or when digging near the Boundary Wire to prevent damage.
• The system should only be used with healthy pets who are over 6 months of age. Contact your veterinarian if you have
concerns about the medical condition of your pet (medication, pregnant, heart conditions, etc.).

• The Static Stimulation will get your pet's attention, but will not cause harm. It is designed to startle, not to punish.
• Test the Receiver Collar at least once a month to verify that it is functioning properly. Check that it activates at the Boundary
Wire. Battery life depends upon how often the Receiver Collar is activated.
• Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet when indoors for the comfort of your pet.
System Test
The system test is used to determine the cause of system problems that have not been addressed elsewhere in this guide. You will
need a piece of Boundary Wire greater than 4.5 m long with 1 cm of insulation removed from each end to use as a test loop
wire. Make a note of your Boundary Control Switch setting, Boundary Width Control knob
setting, and Receiver Collar setting before beginning the System Test. Follow the steps below
to perform the system test:
1. Remove the Receiver Collar from your dog and make sure a good battery is installed in
the Receiver Collar.
2. Set the Boundary Control switch to B.
3. Set the Receiver Collar Static Stimulation Level to 5.
4. Disconnect the twisted Boundary Wire from the Boundary Wire terminals on the
Fence Transmitter by pressing the red release levers on the connector and pulling the
wires free (A).
5. Insert the two ends of the test loop wire into the Boundary Wire Terminals on the Transmitter.
6. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and then back to 5.
7. Place the Test Light Tool Contacts on the Contact Points of the Receiver Collar. While
holding the Receiver Collar with the Test Light Tool in place, approach the wire from
the outside loop 2 inches off the ground. Make a mental note of the distance where the
Receiver Collar activates from the Boundary Wire.
8. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and repeat Step 7. The distance where the
Receiver Collar activates should be greater than the previous result.
9. If more than one Receiver Collar is used on the system, repeat the above test on each collar.
10. Keep the Boundary Width Control knob position at 10. Set the Boundary Control Switch to A. Approach loop with Receiver
Collar as in Step 7 and verify the Receiver Collar activates.
11. Keep the Boundary Width Control knob position at 10. Set the Boundary Control Switch to C. Approach loop with Receiver
Collar as in Step 7 and verify the Receiver Collar activates.
12. Interpreting the Results:
a. If the Power Light or the Loop Indicator Light are not both lit on the Fence Transmitter or the alarm is on, for any of the
above tests, there is a problem with the Transmitter. Contact the Customer Care Centre.
b. If both the Power and Loop Indicator Lights are on, but the Receiver Collar does not activate on the test loop wire, the
Receiver Collar is not working. Contact the Customer Care Centre.
c. If the Transmitter Power and Loop Indicator Lights are on in each of the 3 Boundary Control Switch positions and the
Receiver Collar is activating at different distances on the test loop wire, the problem is most likely in the containment
Boundary Wire. Perform the Wire Break Location Test.
13. When testing is complete reconnect and verify that the Boundary Wire is plugged into the Boundary Wire Terminals and the
Transmitter is plugged in.
14. Return the Boundary Control Switch and the Boundary Width Control knob setting to the position noted earlier.
15. Repeat the Boundary Width testing from Step 6 until you achieve the desired Boundary Width between 4 - 7 m.
