Step 3: Install the Fence Transmitter

Find a place to install the fence transmitter. There are a few things to consider when choosing an outlet for
your transmitter:
• We recommend using an outlet at least 10 m from the breaker box.
• The transmitter should be indoors, in a dry, ventilated and protected area (3A, 3B).
• You will need to run wire from the transmitter to the boundary wire, so it must be near window or a wall that you
can drill through (3A). The wire should not be pinched or cross any utility lines.
• The temperatures of the location should not fall below -23°C.
• The transmitter should be at least 1 m from large metal objects or appliances (3C). These items may interfere with
the signal consistency.
• In case your system sounds an alarm, place it where you will be able to hear and access it.
3A
To mount the fence transmitter, screw the mounting bracket onto a stationary surface such as a wall, and slide the
fence transmitter onto the bracket. Once you have mounted the fence transmitter, the boundary wire must exit the
building. This can be accomplished via a window or through a hole drilled through the wall. Ensure the drill path is
clear of any utilities. Make sure the boundary wire is not cut off or pinched by a window, door, or garage door, as this
can damage it over time.
To prevent fires and electrical hazards, install the fence transmitter in buildings that are in accordance with state and
local electrical codes.
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.

3B
• 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.
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.
