STEP 7.
CONNECT THE PERIMETER WIRE TO THE WALL TRANSMITTER
The wire from the perimeter to the wall transmitter should be twisted to cancel the signal. This allows the dog to
cross the area without receiving a correction. It also eliminates possible interference from electrical wires, etc.
1.
Measure the distance from the wall transmitter to the edge of the perimeter wire.
2.
Because twisting the wire decreases the length of the wire, multiply the distance by 1½.
3.
Measure and cut two wires of equal lengths of the above measurement.
4.
Hold the two ends of the wire side by side and twist them together. The wires
can be twisted manually or by using a power drill until the twists are 6 to 12 cm
apart. The tighter the wire is twisted the better the signal cancellation.
5.
Use the supplied waterproof splices for all in ground connections. To use the
splices, strip

” of insulation from the ends of the wires you are joining. With
the ends of the wires even and together, place the wire nut over the wire ends
and turn the wire nut clockwise until it is securely fastened. Snap open the
hinged lid of the gel-filled capsule and insert the wire nut as deeply as possible
into the waterproof gel. Snap the lid shut, making sure the wires exit the splice
on either side. Tie a knot in the wires as shown in the diagram to prevent them
from pulling out of the gel-filled capsules when the wire is buried.
6.
Repeat Step 5 for the other end of the twisted wire and other end of the perime-
ter wire. One hole of the splice will not be used.
7.
Put the twisted wires through the existing opening or drilled hole so it can be
connected to the transmitter.
8.
Strip off about 1 cm of insulation from the end of each twisted wire.
9.
Insert the wires into the terminals of the transmitter.
10. Plug the power adapter into a standard 220-volt household outlet.
11. Connect the power adapter to the transmitter’s power port.
STEP 8.
VERIFY TRANSMITTER IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY
To verify the transmitter is functioning properly, look for a red light on the transmitter. A continuous
red light tells you that the transmitter is receiving power, both wires are connected, and the wire
forms an unbroken, continuous loop. The transmitter light indicates continuity only.
If the red light does not appear, it means that one or both wires are not properly connected; both
wires are connected but the wire is broken; the transmitter has malfunctioned; or the power has
been turned off. Correct the problem and retest.
STEP 9.
SET UP YOUR COLLAR RECEIVER
Before proceeding, you must first make sure the system is functioning properly with the collar
receiver. Part A pertains to the rechargeable collar receiver only; Part B applies to the battery-oper-
ated collar receiver.
