How the System Works

The PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets over
® ™
8 pounds. The system works by producing a radio signal from the Fence Transmitter through up to
2000 feet of Boundary Wire. The Boundary Wire is buried or attached to a fixed object to enclose the
Pet Area. You temporarily define this Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training your pet.
Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that touch his neck, and once trained, is allowed
to roam freely in the Pet Area. When your pet reaches the Warning Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a
warning beep. If your pet continues into the Static Correction Zone, a safe Static Correction will be
delivered through the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Pet Area.

Key Definitions

Fence Transmitter: The device that transmits the radio signal through the Boundary Wire.
Pet Area: The area within the Warning Zone where your pet can roam freely.
Warning Zone: The outer edge of the Pet Area where your pet's Receiver Collar begins to beep,
warning him not to go into the Static Correction Zone.
Static Correction Zone: The zone beyond the Warning Zone where your pet's Receiver Collar will
emit a Static Correction, signaling him to return to the Pet Area.
Boundary Width: The combination of the Warning Zone and the Static Correction Zone.
Surge Protector: Installed with the Fence Transmitter to protect it from lightning strikes and power
surges (USA and Canada only).
Receiver Collar: The device that receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.
Correction Level Button: Adjusts the level of Static Correction your pet receives in the Static
Correction Zone.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the level of correction at which the Receiver Collar is set. This
light also serves as the low battery indicator.
Contact Points: The contacts through which the Receiver Collar delivers the safe Static Correction
when your pet moves into the Static Correction Zone.
Power Jack: The Jack where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter. The Fence
Transmitter is powered by a standard 120-volt outlet.
Boundary Wire Terminals: The terminals where the Boundary Wires connect to the Fence Transmitter
in order to complete a continuous loop.
Loop Indicator Light: The light that indicates that the Boundary Wire makes a complete loop,
enabling the signal to be transmitted.
Boundary Width Control: The knob that adjusts the width of the Warning and Static Correction
Zones. Note: Adjusting the knob does not change the level of Static Correction on the Receiver Collar.
