Petsafe Innotek UltraSmart Contain ‘n’ Train In-Ground Fence - Manual (Page 11)

The collar charging station plugs into any 220v wall outlet
and acts as a charging stand for your collar. It’s an
attractive unit designed for use in your home.
Choose a location close to a door that you and your dog use
regularly and plug in the wall charger. Position the collar in
the charging cradle. The collar fits in the cradle with the
skin contacts facing down through holes in the case. A
built-in safety circuit prevents the unit from overcharging.
The collar’s light glows red when the collar is properly
seated and charging; it will turn green when charging is
complete.
The collar will achieve a full charge in 2-3 hours. Each
charge can last up to two months.
Battery Caution: Do not charge your collar every night.
Frequent charging can have a negative effect on your
collar’s battery. We recommend the collar be used until
battery status light blinks red.
ReadyTest ™ feature
When you remove the collar
from the charging station,
the unit will automatically
go into self-test mode for
about 8 seconds. The
collar’s internal diagnostics
will check that the battery
charge is full and that all
circuits are working
correctly. Do not touch the
skin contacts during this test. Ready Test gives you added
confidence that your pet fencing collar is working and
ready to go.
If Continuous Red: If the ReadyTest ™ self-test fails, the unit
will tone and the LED will glow solid red for 20 seconds.
Replace in the charger for 5 seconds, then remove. Do not
touch the metal contacts. If the unit continues to fail, call an
authorized INNOTEK Service Center.
PerfectFit ™ Test for Skin Contact
As part of the ReadyTest ™ , the collar will go into PerfectFit ™
mode. The collar will emit a click tone as the contacts
touch your dog’s skin. A proper fit will be acknowledged
with 5 consecutive click tones.
To skip the PerfectFit ™ test, just wait 90 seconds after
removal from charger. The collar will function normally,
bypassing the PerfectFit
™ test.
You should have your boundary wire laid out on top of your
lawn and properly connected. The collar should have
charged for 2-3 hours. DO NOT test the system on your dog.
1. Field size switch – Set to small (SM) for installations
using less than 300m of wire. For larger installations, move
the switch to large (LG).
2. Adjust pet fencing field – Move the FIELD WIDTH knob
to the 9 o'clock position.
3. Test system – Select a section of straight boundary wire
that is at least 50 feet long. Hold the supplied test light
across the collar’s skin contacts, and position the collar at
your dog's neck height. Slowly walk the collar toward the
boundary wire. Listen for the warning tone and watch for
the test light to
illuminate. The
wider you can
make the pet
fencing field, the
less chance your
dog can run-
through. Adjust
the FIELD WIDTH
as necessary
and test again.
Test in a number of different areas until you are satisfied
that the system is functioning properly.
Next, walk all around the "safe" part of the yard to ensure
there are no areas where the signal may be lost, particularly
where there may be buried wires or cables. Test the collar
in and around the inside of the house as well.
As mentioned, cable and wires from cable TV, electrical or
telephone lines may conduct pet fencing signals inside and
outside the house that can activate the dog's collar
accidentally. While rare, if this occurs your boundary wire is
probably too close to these outside lines and should be
moved or modified; see previous section about running pet
fencing wires perpendicular to utility lines.
You may need the following tools for efficient installation:
Straightedge spade or a gas-powered edger. If you plan on
running the wire across a driveway you may also need a
caulk gun, silicone caulking and a circular saw with a
masonry blade.
