Step 6: Connect the Wires to the Fence Transmitter

Boundary Wire (6A)
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. 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 (6B).
b. Slide the proper plug for your electrical outlet onto the power adaptor as shown (6C).
6. The power light and loop indicator light should come on. If this does not happen, check out our
Troubleshooting section.

Ground Wire (6D)
Proper grounding, although not necessary for the system to work, will help reduce the chance of electrical surges
causing damage to your fence transmitter and/or power adaptor. To ground your unit, you will need a solid (not
stranded) ground wire (14 to 18 gauge insulated copper wire) and a ground rod with clamp, which may be obtained
at most electrical supply stores. Connect one end of the ground wire to the ground terminal located on the fence
transmitter and the other end of the ground wire to the ground rod. The ground rod must be buried at least 90 cm into
the ground and located as close as possible to the fence transmitter.
Fuse Protection (6E)
The Fence Transmitter is also equipped with a 250 volt, 1 amp fuse to protect the unit's electronic circuitry from
electrical power surges. To locate the fuse, slide off the lid on the back of the fence transmitter. A spare fuse is
also provided.
• If possible, do not use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or 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.
• 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.
6C
• 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.
