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. f 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 in either the yard wire or
the Lightning Protector. Reconnect the transmitter to
the Lightning Protector and connect the test loop to the
Lightning Protector LOOP terminals. Repeat test Steps
6 through 11. If the green light is solid on the transmit-
ter and the collar receiver is activating at different dis-
tances on the test loop wire, the problem is the bound-
ary wire. Perform the Wire Break Location Test
Procedure. If there is a red flashing light with an alarm
on the transmitter, the Lightning Protector is malfunc-
tioning. The Lightning Protector has a lifetime warranty.
Contact Innotek for a warranty replacement lightning
protector.

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 setting.

14. Repeat the field width testing from Section 4.H
page 12, until you are satisfied that the field width set-
ting has been returned to your desired detection dis-
tance.

TEST PROCEDURES – SD-2100 MODEL ONLY

Always remove your dog’s collar receiver before per-
forming any transmitter testing.

A. Transmitter Loop Test Procedure - SD-2100
Model only

The transmitter loop test procedure is used to deter-
mine the cause of a “Boundary Wire Broken or
Disconnected” alarm indication. You will need a short
6-foot piece of boundary wire with 3/8-inch of the insu-
lation stripped from both ends. Verify the transmitter
POWER switch is ON, and all boundary wire connec-
tions at the transmitter are properly connected. If the
status light is still flashing red and the alarm is on, con-
tinue with the following steps.

1. Remove the existing twisted wire pair from the trans-
mitter LOOP connector by pushing the orange release
levers on the connector away from the wires and
remove the two wires from the transmitter.

23.

2. Insert both ends of the 6-foot wire into the LOOP
connector on the transmitter and recheck the transmit-

ter status light and alarm.

a. If the status light is green and the alarm is off, the

problem is in the boundary wire. Check for visible dam-
age to the wire at the entry into the house. If none is
observed, perform the Wire Break Location Test
Procedure to find and correct the wire break (Sec. B).

b. If the status light is still flashing red and the alarm is
on, the malfunction is in the transmitter. Contact
Innotek at 1-800-826-5527 for assistance.

B. Wire Break Location Test Procedure
SD-2100 Model ONLY

The wire break location test procedure is used to locate
broken or damaged sections of the containment bound-
ary wire. To locate wire breaks in the loop installation,
you will need a portable AM radio and a RF Choke
(available at Radio Shack®; part number 273-102).
Once you have these items, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the transmitter power by unplugging the
power adapter from the outlet.
