Step 8: Set the Boundary Width and Test the Receiver Collar
With the boundary wire in place and properly connected, and the receiver collar fully charged, it is time to set the
boundary width and test the system.
Note: The receiver collar is waterproof, which can make the tone hard to hear.
The flashing test light, when held to the contact points, indicates that the receiver collar is delivering static stimulation.
To best utilize the automatic run-through prevention feature, the containment boundary width should extend at least
2 m to 3 m on each side of the boundary wire (total boundary width of 4 m to 6 m).
1. Apply power to the fence transmitter
with the supplied power adaptor.
2. Set the boundary width control switch
(located on the side of the fence
transmitter) (8A) to setting A, B, or C,
based on the total length of boundary
wire used. Setting B is used for most
properties. Refer to the table to the right
for the proper setting for your garden.
3. The boundary width is adjusted by using the transmitter's boundary width control knob (8B). Turn the knob anti-
clockwise until the alarm sounds and the loop indicator light is no longer lit. Turn the knob clockwise and increase
by 2 numbers. The alarm should turn off and the light should turn on.
4. To identify the warning and static stimulation zones make sure the static stimulation on the receiver collar is set at
level 5.
5. Test the boundary width of the system by selecting a section of straight boundary wire that is at least 15 m long. Start
inside the centre of the pet area.
6. Place the test light tool contacts against the receiver collar contact points (8C). Hold the receiver collar at your
pet's neck height with the contact points pointing up. Slowly walk toward the boundary wire until you hear the
warning tone (8D). When you hear the warning tone, you have identified the boundary width distance (static
stimulation zone). Two seconds after the warning tone, the test light will begin to flash. This flashing light can aid
you in identifying the boundary width if you have difficulty hearing the tone.

Always remove your pet's receiver collar before performing any transmitter testing or
adjustments. This will prevent unintended static stimulations.
