INTRODUCTION
The understanding between a dog and his owner has existed since a long time.
Nonetheless, a dog is often guided by his natural instincts and breaks the rules is master has taught
him, causing complaints about straying and damages such as: damage to flowerbeds, jumps into swimming
pools, etc. More seriously, he may be the victim or the cause of road accident.
The EF-6000 pet fencing system is a modern and highly effective system enabling you to keep one or
more dogs in complete freedom within a perimeter, fenced or unfenced, you have defined.

You can define your dog's play area by installing a wire, called antenna wire, around the authorized
perimeter. This wire placed on the ground, buried or raised on an existing fence carries a radio signal from
the transmitter.
When your dog, wearing a receiver collar, approaches this wire, he is warned by beep sounds that he is
too close to an area where he is not allowed; then if he carries on, static stimulations will be emitted by the
collar. Your dog will have to leave the unauthorized area to stop the stimulations and beep sounds.
An unlimited number of receiver collars can be used with one transmitter: you can keep as many dogs
as you wish safely in the same area.
The EF-6000 pet fencing system has been designed to give you complete satisfaction with an antenna
wire up to a maximum length of 5000 feet (equivalent to 35 acres).

1. Transmitter
The transmitter must be installed indoors in a dry location: the transmitter can withstand changes in
temperature but will be damaged by water. Make sure the transmitter is correctly fixed (for example
screw it to a wall).
Install the transmitter in a garage or garden shed near an electrical outlet.
2. Antenna wire
For the system to operate, the wire must be connected to the transmitter and form a continuous loop
from the transmitter and back again. The outward and inward wires must be spaced at least5 feet apart
to avoid cancelling the signal.
20 AWG or 18 AWG wire can be used (it is not recommended to combine different types of wire).
The wire sections recommended depending on the length of the system are as follows:
•
for less than 3000 feet of antenna wire: 20 AWG
•
for more than 3000 feet of antenna wire: 18 AWG
From the transmitter, unroll the wire around the perimeter you wish to protect. To run the wire from your
garage or garden shed, pass it through a window, door or similar.
The wire can be placed on the ground, buried (maximum: 4 inches deep) or fixed to a non-metallic existing
fence or wall (best height: your dog's neck height). If you plan on burying the wire, make sure your installation is
functioning properly before doing so. You can protect the wire by running it through PVC pipe or a garden hose.
The wire must not be taut as variations in
temperature may cause it to expand or contract. In the
corners, do not make right angles but rounded corners
with a large radius.
Separate the wire by at least 6 feet from a metallic
gate or 3 feet from a metallic fence.
Do not install the antenna wire near an electrical
cable, telephone cable, television cable or satellite
dishes.
In order to prevent any interference, do not run the
wire within 6 feet or parallel to electrical cables. If you must cross electrical wires, telephone wires or television
cables, do so at 90 degree angles.
If you need more than 500 feet of antenna wire,
you must connect the different lengths of wire using
the supplied connectors (the wire does not need to
be stripped). You can purchase additional wire and
connectors from DOGTEK or your retailer.
To ensure your dog does not receive any warning or
stimulation in certain areas (e.g. between the transmitter
in the garage and the edge of your property) you have to
twist the outward wire around the inward wire. The twists prevent radio waves from being emitted.
Once the loop is completed and you are back at the
transmitter, strip the two ends of the wire to connect
them to the supplied transmitter connector (connect
each wire with each connector screw). Then, insert
this connector into the antenna socket located on the
transmitter.
