2. Disconnect the boundary wires from the transmitter
LOOP terminals.
3. Bend the leads of the RF Choke into the shape
shown in figure.
4. Carefully wrap the RF Choke leads around the
boundary wire leads as shown.
5. Plug the RF Choke wire leads into the loop terminals
on the transmitter as shown.
6. Plug the power adapter back into the outlet.
7. Set the portable AM radio to AM-60 or AM-600
(whichever one has no station).
8. Adjust the transmitter FIELD WIDTH knob high
enough to obtain a signal on the portable radio when
holding the radio over the containment boundary wire.
The signal that you receive is short static pulses.
9. The signal should be absent on the twisted wire por-
tions because twisting cancels the signal.
10. Hold the radio 1 to 2 feet off the ground and swing
the radio (side to side, left to right) over the wire as you
walk along the boundary.
11. If the pulsating static stops, weakens, or changes
pitch, mark the spot with a flag or stick. No sound indi-
cates a complete break in the wire. If the signal fades
or changes in pitch, look for a nick in the wire insulation.
Note: Do not confuse straying from the boundary wire
path for a wire break. Make sure you follow the known
location of your boundary wire.
12. Continue around the remaining boundary and mark
any additional signal change with a flag or stick.
13. After completing the entire boundary, return to the
marked spots. Examine the wire for 3 to 4 feet in each
direction.
14. Replace the wire using the same gauge wire used
in the original installation and use waterproof splices to
make the connections. Contact Innotek for additional
wire and waterproof splices if needed.
C. System Test Procedure:
SD-2100 Model ONLY
The system test procedure is used to determine the
probable cause of system problems that have not been
addressed elsewhere. You will need a 6 foot piece of
green boundary wire for use as a test loop wire. Strip
3/8-inch of the insulation from both ends of the wire. To
perform the System Test Procedure, please follow
these steps:
1. Remove the collar receiver from your dog prior to
performing the following tests.
2. Slide the transmitter POWER switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
3. Set the FIELD SIZE switch to SM.
4. Disconnect the existing pre-twisted pair boundary
wire from the LOOP connector on the transmitter.
5. Insert the two ends of the test loop wire into the
LOOP connector on the transmitter.
6. Note the original position of the FIELD WIDTH
Adjustment Knob and turn the FIELD WIDTH
Adjustment Knob to the minimum setting (MIN).
7. Slide the transmitter POWER switch to the ON
position.
8. Place the test light on the collar receiver. With the
collar strap in hand, back up to be outside the field and
approach the test loop. Make a mental note of the dis-
tance between you and the wire when the collar acti-
vates.
9. Turn the FIELD WIDTH adjustment knob to 10
o’clock or a medium setting.
10. Back away from the wire and approach it again.
Determine the distance between you and the wire when
the collar activates. The distance should be greater on
the 10 o’clock range setting than on the minimum set-
ting.
11. If more than one collar receiver is used on the sys-
tem, repeat the above test on each collar.
12. Interpreting the Results
a. If there is no light on the transmitter or a red flashing
light with an alarm, the transmitter is malfunctioning.
b. If the green light is solid on the transmitter but the
collar does not activate on the test loop wire, the collar
receiver is not working.
c. If the green light is solid on the transmitter and the
collar receiver is activating at different distances on the
test loop wire, the problem is the boundary wire.
Perform the Wire Break Location Test Procedure.
13. When testing is complete, return
the FIELD SIZE switch to its original
position (SM for 1000 feet or less of
boundary wire and LG for over 1000
feet). Turn the FIELD WIDTH
Adjustment Knob to its original set-
ting.
14. Repeat the field width testing from Section 4.H page
12, until you are satisfied that the field width setting has
been returned to your desired detection distance.
