Set the Boundary Width and Test the Receiver Collar
With the Boundary Wire in place and properly connected, it is time to set the containment
field and test the system.
The Receiver Collar should NOT be on your dog when the system is tested.
Note: The Receiver Collar is waterproof, which can make the tone hard to hear.
The flashing Test Light when held to the Contact Points indicates the Receiver Collar is
delivering Static Correction. To best utilize the automatic Run-Through Prevention feature,
the containment Boundary Width should extend at least 6 to 10 feet on each side of the
Boundary Wire (total Boundary Width of 12 to 20 feet).
1. Apply Power to the Fence Transmitter with the supplied Power Adapter.

2. Set the Boundary Width Control Switch (located on the side of the Fence
Transmitter) (6A) to the A, B, or C setting based on the total length of
Boundary Wire used. Setting B is used for most properties. The following
table will indicate the proper setting.
3. The width of the containment field is adjusted using the transmitter’s
Boundary Width Control knob. Turn the knob counter clockwise until

Up to 1300 feet B
1300 to 2400 feet C
the alarm sounds and the Loop Indicator Light is no longer lit. Turn the knob clockwise and increase by 2
numbers. The alarm should turn OFF and the light should turn ON.
The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested. Your pet may receive an
unintended correction.
4. Place battery in Receiver Collar. To identify the Warning and Static Correction Zones make sure the Receiver
Collar is set at level 5 (see Step 5).
5. Test the Boundary Width of the system by selecting a section of straight Boundary Wire that is at least 50 feet
long. Start inside the center of the containment field.
6. Place the Test Light Tool Contacts on the Contact Points on the
Receiver Collar (6B,6C). Hold the Receiver Collar at your dog’s
neck height with the Contact Points pointing up (6D) and the
Correction Level Button facing the Boundary Wire. Slowly walk
toward the Boundary Wire until you hear the warning tone
(6E). When you hear the warning tone, you have identified the
Boundary Width distance (Static Correction Zone).
Two seconds after the warning tone, the test light will begin to
flash. This flashing light can aid you in identifying the

Boundary Width should you have difficulty hearing the tone. To avoid
having the Receiver Collar go into Over Correction Protection mode,
walk back into the Pet Area until the toning stops. If the Receiver
Collar does not tone at the desired range, adjust the Boundary Width
Control knob to obtain the desired range. Turning the Boundary Width
Control knob clockwise increases the Boundary Width while turning it
counterclockwise decreases it (6F). Repeat this activity as needed until
the Receiver Collar tones between 6 to 10 feet from the Boundary
Wire. If using a Double Loop layout, you may need to increase the
separation of the Boundary Wire and/or increase the size of the
Boundary Width to achieve the desired range.
