1. Remove the Receiver Collar from your dog and make sure a good battery is
installed in the receiver.
2. Set the Boundary Control switch to B.
3. Set the Receiver Collar Static Correction Level to 5.
4. Disconnect the twisted Boundary Wire from the Boundary Wire terminals on
the Fence Transmitter by pressing the red release levers on the connector and
pulling the wires free (11A).
5. Insert the two ends of the test loop wire into the Boundary Wire Terminals
on the Transmitter.
6. Turn the Boundary Width control knob to 10 and then back to 5.
7. Place the Test Light Tool Contacts on the Contact Points of the Receiver Collar.
While holding the Receiver Collar with the Test Light Tool in place, approach the
wire from the outside loop 2 inches off the ground. Make a mental note of the
distance where the Receiver Collar activates from the wire.
8. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and repeat Step 7. The distance
where the Receiver Collar activates should be greater than the previous result.
9. If more than one Receiver Collar is used on the system, repeat the above
test on each collar.
10. Keep Boundary Width Control Knob position at 10. Set the Boundary Control
Switch to A. Approach loop with Receiver Collar as in Step 7 and verify the
Receiver Collar activates.
11. Keep Boundary Width Control knob position at 10. Set the Boundary Control
Switch to C. Approach loop with Receiver Collar as in Step 7 and verify the
Receiver Collar activates.
12. Interpreting the Results:
a. If the Power light or the Loop indicator light are not both lit on the Fence
Transmitter, or the alarm is on, for any of the above tests, there is a problem
with the Transmitter. Contact the Customer Care Center.
b. If both the Power and Loop indicator lights are on, but the Receiver Collar
does not activate on the test loop wire, the Receiver Collar is not working.
Contact the Customer Care Center.
c. If the Transmitter Power and Loop indicator lights are on in each of the 3
Boundary Control Switch positions and the Receiver Collar is activating at
different distances on the test loop wire, the problem is most likely in the
containment Boundary Wire or Surge Protector. Reconnect the Transmitter
wires to the Surge Protector and connect the Test Loop to the Surge Protector
loop terminals. Repeat steps (6-11) (11B).
13. Interpreting the Results with the Surge Protector:
a. If both the Power and Loop indicator lights are ON and the Receiver Collar
is activating at different distances on the test loop wire, the problem is in the
containment Boundary Wire. Perform the Wire Break Location Test.
b. If the Loop indicator light is OFF with an alarm on the Fence Transmitter, there is a problem with the Surge Protector.
Contact the Customer Care Center.
14. When testing is complete reconnect and verify that the Boundary Wire is plugged into the Loop Terminals on the
Surge Protector and the Transmitter is connected to the Surge Protector.
15. Return the Boundary Control Switch and the Boundary Width Control knob setting to the position noted earlier.
16. Repeat the Boundary Width testing from Step 6 on Page 14 until you achieve the desired Boundary Width
between 12 to 20 feet.
