Step 5: Connect the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter
1. Run the boundary wire through a window, under a door, through a crawl space vent, or any other
appropriate available access. You can also drill a hole through your wall.
2. Strip 1 cm of insulation from the ends of the boundary wire.
3. Press the red tabs on the fence transmitter and insert the twisted wire into the boundary wire terminals
(5A). Make sure wires do not touch each other at the terminals.
4. Turn the boundary width control knob to 10. This will set the boundary width at the maximum width.
5. Connect the power adaptor to the transmitter at the power jack and plug the power adaptor into a
working outlet. The power adaptor comes with the North American plug installed and additional plugs
for the UK, Europe, and Australia. To change the plug:
a. Push in the tab on the power adaptor and remove the plug by sliding it off as shown (5B).
b. Slide the proper plug for your electrical outlet onto the power adaptor as shown (5C).
6. The power light and loop indicator light should come on. If this does not happen, check out our
troubleshooting section.
5A
• If possible, do not use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or
• Before you begin installing the boundary wire, unplug the fence transmitter.
To protect the transmitter, disconnect the boundary wire and unplug the power adaptor
from the outlet when the system will not be used for long periods of time or prior to
thunderstorms. This will prevent power surges from damaging the transmitter.
5B
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the
storm is close enough for you to hear thunder, it is close enough to create
hazardous surges.
• To avoid electric shock, use the fence transmitter indoors in a dry location only.
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The fence system will function, but in rare
cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the RCD or GFCI to trip. Without power,
your pet may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the RCD or GFCI to
restore power to the system.
