System Test
The system test is used to determine the
cause of system problems that have not
been addressed elsewhere in this product
manual. 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
width dial 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 pet
and make sure a good battery is installed
in the receiver collar.
2. Set the receiver collar static stimulation
to level 5.
3. 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 (12).
4. Insert the two ends of the test loop wire
into the boundary wire terminals on the
transmitter.
5. Turn the boundary width control knob to
10 and then back to 5.
6. 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 3 cm off the ground. Make a mental note of the distance where the receiver collar activates from
the wire.
7. Turn the boundary width control knob to 10 and repeat step 6. The distance where the receiver collar
activates should be greater than the previous result.
8. If more than one receiver collar is used on the system, repeat the above test on each collar.
9. Interpreting the results:
a. If the power light or the loop indicator light are not both lit on the fence transmitter 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 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.
10. When the testing is complete, reconnect and verify that the boundary wire is plugged into the transmitter
and the transmitter is plugged in.
11. Return the boundary width control knob setting to the position noted earlier.
12. Repeat the boundary width testing from Step 7 on page 16 until you achieve the desired boundary
width between 4 m and 6 m.
