System is NOT a solid barrier. It is designed to act as a deterrent
to remind pets to remain within the established boundary by use of static stimulation. It is important that
you reinforce training with your pet on a regular basis. Since the tolerance level to static stimulation
varies from pet to pet, Radio Systems Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the system will, in all cases,
keep a pet within the established boundary. Not all pets can be trained to avoid crossing the boundary!
Therefore, if you have reason to believe that your pet may pose a danger to others or harm himself if
he is not kept from crossing the boundary, you should NOT rely solely upon this system to confine your
pet. Radio Systems Corporation shall NOT be liable for any property damage, economic loss or any
consequential damages sustained as a result of any animal crossing the boundary.
• Proper fit of the receiver collar is important. A receiver collar worn for too long or made too tight on the
pet’s neck may cause skin damage, ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly
known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the receiver collar on the pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the receiver collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Regularly recheck the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this product manual.
• Never connect a lead to the receiver collar. It will cause excessive pressure on the contact points.
• When connecting a lead to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on the receiver collar.
• Wash the pet’s neck area and the contact points of the receiver collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the receiver collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. However, never shave the pet’s neck; this
may lead to a rash or infection.
• The boundary width of the system must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the pet area to
prevent unintended stimulations to your pet.
• Always remove your pet’s receiver collar before performing any transmitter testing or adjustments. This
will prevent unintended static stimulations.
• If possible, do not use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). The fence system will function, but in rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause
the RCD or GFCI to trip. Without power, your pet may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the
RCD or GFCI to restore power to the system.
• Proper training of your pet is essential to successfully using the system. During the first 2 weeks of
training, do not use the system without direct supervision of your pet.
• Before you begin installing the boundary wire, unplug the fence transmitter.
• Avoid damaging the insulation of the loop wire; damage may cause areas of weak signal and lead to
failure of the boundary.
• Use care when mowing or trimming your grass not to cut the boundary wire.
• To protect the transmitter, disconnect the boundary wire and unplug the power adaptor from the outlet
when the system will not be used for long periods of time or prior to thunderstorms. This will prevent
power surges from damaging the transmitter.

How the System Works
The PetSafe
®
Basic In-Ground Fence
™
System has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets
over 3.6 kg. The system works by producing a radio signal from the fence transmitter through up to 610 m
of boundary wire. The boundary wire is buried or attached to a fixed object to enclose the pet area. You
temporarily define this pet area with boundary flags for a visual aid in training your pet. Your pet wears a
receiver collar with contact points that touch his neck, and once trained, is allowed to roam freely in the
pet area. When your pet reaches the warning zone, the receiver collar gives a warning beep. If your pet
continues into the static stimulation zone, a safe stimulation will be delivered through the contact points to
get his attention until he returns to the pet area.

Operating Guide
Step 1: Have Your Utilities Marked
1. Call your utility company to have your
utility lines marked. If you have neighbours
using an in-ground pet containment
system, you will want to ask them where the
boundary is located. Trust us, you really do
not want to skip this step.
2. Make a plan for how you will work around
any large metal objects (like sheds) or
wires. You can cross utility lines but only at
90-degree angles (1A).
Note: Large metal objects and wires can amplify and/or modulate radio signals in unpredictable ways.
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked
before you dig to bury your wire. In most areas, this is a free service. Avoid these
cables when you dig.
Step 2: Install the Fence Transmitter
Find a place to install the fence transmitter. There are a few things to consider when choosing an outlet for
your transmitter:
• We recommend using an outlet at least 10 m from the breaker box.
• The transmitter should be indoors, in a dry, ventilated and protected area (2A, 2B).
• You will need to run wire from the transmitter to the boundary wire, so it must be near window or a wall
that you can drill through (2A).
• The temperatures of the location should not fall below -23°C.
• The transmitter should be at least 1 m from large metal objects or appliances (2C). These items may
interfere with the signal consistency.
• The transmitter should be secured to a stationary surface using appropriate mounting hardware (not
included). A mounting template is included in the back of this manual.

Once you have mounted the fence transmitter, the boundary wire must exit the building. This can be
accomplished via a window or through a hole drilled through the wall (2D). Ensure the drill path is clear of
any utilities. Make sure the boundary wire is not cut off or pinched by a window, door, or garage door, as
this can damage it over time.
To prevent fires and electrical hazards, install the fence transmitter in buildings that are in accordance with
state and local electrical codes.
• Do not install, connect or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the
storm is close enough for you to hear thunder, it is close enough to create
hazardous surges.
• To avoid electric shock, use the fence transmitter indoors in a dry location only.
If possible, DO NOT use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The fence system will function, but in rare
cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the RCD or GFCI to trip. Without power,
your pet may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the RCD or GFCI to
restore power to the system.
To protect the transmitter, disconnect the boundary wire and unplug the power adaptor
from the outlet when the system will not be used for long periods of time or prior to
thunderstorms. This will prevent power surges from damaging the transmitter.

Step 3: Design Your Boundary Zone
Basic Planning Tips
• Always design your layout, position the boundary wire and test the system as outlined in this product
manual before burying the boundary wire. You do not want to find out after burying the wire that there is
a problem with your layout or a loose connection somewhere.
• Sample layouts are provided in this section.
• The boundary wire must start at the fence transmitter and make a continuous loop back (3A).
• Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum of 1 m radius to produce a more consistent
boundary (3B). Do not use sharp turns; this will cause gaps in your boundary.
• Create areas in your garden that allow your pet to safely cross over the boundary wire without static
stimulation by twisting the boundary wires together 30 times per m (3C). This cancels the signal and
allows your pet to safely cross over that area.
• To properly contain your pet, we recommend setting a boundary width for the warning and static
stimulation zones to approximately 4 m–6 m (2 m to 3 m on each side of the wire).
• Avoid making passageways too narrow for your pet to move about freely (e.g., along the sides of
a house).
• The receiver collar can be activated inside the house if the boundary wire runs along the outside wall
of the house. If this occurs, remove your pet’s receiver collar before bringing him inside, decrease the
range using the boundary width control knob or consider an alternate layout.

Single or Double Loop Layout
The containment area can be created by using either a single boundary wire that is placed around the entire
property (3C) or by doubling the boundary wire along the same path (3E).
Single Loop Boundary
• To create a containment area for the entire property
• For exclusion areas around flower gardens, landscaping, or pools
With a single loop layout, the boundary wire starts at the fence transmitter, advances out to the garden,
continues all the way around the perimeter of the property and connects back to the fence transmitter. This
forms a boundary zone with a single wire.
Sample 1: Perimeter Loop (3C) The
perimeter loop is the most common layout.
This will allow your pet to freely and safely
roam your entire property. It can also protect
flower gardens, pools, and landscaping.
Sample 2: Full Perimeter Loop Using
Existing Fence (3D) This layout allows you
to include your existing fence as part of your
layout and keep your pet from jumping out
or digging under your existing fence. This
layout also greatly reduces the installation
time since most of the wire will not need to
be buried.
Run the wire from the fence transmitter to
point A, then to point B and so on (B to
C to D to E) all the way around the entire
property until back to point A again.
The wires from point A will then need to be twisted and connected back to the fence transmitter inside
your home.

Double Loop Boundary
• To section off only one boundary area or one
section of your garden (e.g., front property
only, or waterfront property)
• The 2 parallel sections of the double
boundary wire must be separated by a
minimum of approximately 1.5 m from
each other in order to avoid cancelling out
the signal as well as provide an adequate
boundary width (3E)
• A double loop layout requires twice as
much wire as a single loop layout because it
doubles back along the same path
With a double loop layout, the boundary wire
starts at the fence transmitter, advances out to the
garden and continues to form a boundary zone in
one section of your property (e.g., front property
only). Then the wire makes a U-turn back along
the same path and connects back to the fence
transmitter. This forms a boundary zone with a
double wire.
Sample 3: Front Property or Back Property
Only (3E)
From the fence transmitter, run the wire to point A,
then to point B and so on (B to C to D to E to F).
Next, make a U-turn and follow your path all the
way back to point G, keeping the wire separated
by at least 1.5 m. When you get back to the house
(G), make a sharp turn along the side of the house
back to point A. Finally, twist the wires from point
A and connect them back to the fence transmitter.
Sample 4: Front Boundary Only (3F)
From the fence transmitter, run the wire to point
A, then to point B. Make a U-turn and follow your
path back to point A, keeping the wire separated
by at least 1.5 m. Then twist the wires from point A
and connect them back to the fence transmitter.
Sample 5: Waterfront Property (3G)
From the fence transmitter, run the wire to point
A, then to point B. Make a U-turn and follow your
path to C, then to D, then to E. Next, make another
U-turn and follow the same path all the way back
to point A, keeping the wire separated by at least
1.5 m. Finally, twist the wires from point A and
connect them back to the fence transmitter.
Sample 6: Wire Loop Attached to Existing
Fence (3H)
This layout allows you to include your existing
fence as part of your layout and keep your pet
from jumping out or digging under your existing
fence. It reduces the amount of wire which will
need to be buried. From the fence transmitter run
the wire to point A, then to point B and so on (B to
C to D to E to F). Next, make a U-turn and follow
your path all the way back to point A, keeping the
wire separated by at least 1.5 m. Finally, twist the
wires from point A back to the fence transmitter.

Step 4: Position, Twist and Splice the Boundary Wire
Once you have designed your layout, the next step is
to position the wire along your property. Hold off on
burying the wire until you have tested the system first.
1. Start with one end of the wire at the transmitter, but
do not plug it in yet. Run the wire outdoors all the
way around your planned perimeter and back to
the transmitter.
2. You will need to twist the 2 wires together for the area
running from the transmitter inside your home out
to the garden so that your pet can cross this section
without a stimulation. Twisting both ends of the wire
together 30 times per metre cancels the signal. Keep
in mind that crossover areas will only work when set
up within the containment area. Straight crossover
breaks along the perimeter, such as across driveways
(4A), cannot be created and the signal will not be
cancelled.
3. The fastest way to twist 2 wires is to cut 2 pieces a
little longer than the length you need, twist them, and
then “splice” in that section. Anchor one end of the 2
wires to something secure, and insert the other end
into a power drill. Pull the wire taut and then use the
drill to slowly twist the wire. Follow the splicing guide
below to learn how to reconnect this twisted portion
back to the main boundary wire.
Splicing Guide
Although not required, it is recommended that you cut
and splice the wire between each twisted section. Your
Basic In-Ground Fence
™
System comes with 2 gel-filled
capsules to ensure that your splices are waterproof. You
can give us a call if you would like to purchase more gel-
filled capsules.
a. Strip approximately 1 cm of insulation off the ends
of the wires to be spliced (4B).
b. Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut and twist
the wire nut around the wires. Make sure there is
no copper exposed beyond the end of the wire nut.
c. Tie a knot 7.5 cm–10 cm from the wire nut (4C). Ensure that the wire nut is secure on the wire splice.
d. Once you have securely spliced the wires together, open the lid of the gel-filled capsule and insert the
wire nut as deeply as possible into the waterproof gel inside the capsule (4D).
e. Snap the lid of the capsule shut (4E).
Additional Boundary Wire
Extra spools of boundary wire can be
purchased in lengths of 150 m per spool
where you purchased the kit or through the
Customer Care Centre.
Note: When adding boundary wire, it must act
as a continuous loop.
The table on the right indicates the approximate
length of boundary wire needed for a square,
single loop layout. The length will vary due to
the amount of twisted wire and the layout used.

Step 5: Connect the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter
1. Run the boundary wire through a window, under a door, through a crawl space vent, or any other
appropriate available access. You can also drill a hole through your wall.
2. Strip 1 cm of insulation from the ends of the boundary wire.
3. Press the red tabs on the fence transmitter and insert the twisted wire into the boundary wire terminals
(5A). Make sure wires do not touch each other at the terminals.
4. Turn the boundary width control knob to 10. This will set the boundary width at the maximum width.
5. Connect the power adaptor to the transmitter at the power jack and plug the power adaptor into a
working outlet. The power adaptor comes with the North American plug installed and additional plugs
for the UK, Europe, and Australia. To change the plug:
a. Push in the tab on the power adaptor and remove the plug by sliding it off as shown (5B).
b. Slide the proper plug for your electrical outlet onto the power adaptor as shown (5C).
6. The power light and loop indicator light should come on. If this does not happen, check out our
troubleshooting section.
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the
storm is close enough for you to hear thunder, it is close enough to create
hazardous surges.
• To avoid electric shock, use the fence transmitter indoors in a dry location only.
• If possible, do not use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The fence system will function, but in rare
cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the RCD or GFCI to trip. Without power,
your pet may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the RCD or GFCI to
restore power to the system.
• Before you begin installing the boundary wire, unplug the fence transmitter.
To protect the transmitter, disconnect the boundary wire and unplug the power adaptor
from the outlet when the system will not be used for long periods of time or prior to
thunderstorms. This will prevent power surges from damaging the transmitter.

Step 6: Prepare the Receiver Collar
There are two sets of contact points that can be used on your
receiver collar. Your receiver collar comes with the short contact
points installed. The longer contact points should be used on dogs
with long hair. Tighten the contact points using test light tool (6A)
one-half turn beyond finger tight. Check the tightness weekly.
To Insert and Remove the Battery
Note: Do not install the battery while the receiver collar is on
your pet.
This receiver collar utilises a replaceable PetSafe
®
battery
(R FA - 67 D -11). This unique battery is designed to make battery
replacement easier and increase water protection.
To insert the battery, align the symbols on the battery (arrow) and
receiver collar (triangle). Use the edge of the test light tool to turn the
battery clockwise until the arrow lines up with the lock symbol on the
housing (6B).
To remove the battery, turn the battery anti-clockwise using the
edge of the test light tool (6C). Do not attempt to cut into or pry open
the battery. Be sure to discard the used battery properly. The battery
life will vary depending on how often your pet tests the system and
receives a static stimulation. Check the receiver collar every month
to ensure the battery is working properly.
If the receiver indicator light is flashing every 4 to 5 seconds, battery
replacement is required. Remove the old battery from the receiver
collar. Discharge all power by holding the stimulation level button
down until the LED light is no longer illuminated. Replace with a
new battery.
A replacement PetSafe
®
battery (RFA - 67 D -11) can be purchased by
contacting the Customer Care Centre or by visiting our website at
www.petsafe.com.
To Set the Static Stimulation Level
Read all steps before attempting to set the static stimulation level.
1. Remove the clear plastic cover with the test light tool to expose
the stimulation level button (6D).
2. With the battery installed, press the stimulation level button and
release when the receiver indicator light turns on (6E).
3. The receiver indicator light will emit a series of flashes
representing the static stimulation level (e.g., 4 red flashes
means level 4).
4. Increase the static stimulation level by pressing and releasing the
stimulation level button within 5 seconds of the previous series
of flashes.
5. After setting the static stimulation level, replace the cover to
protect the stimulation level button.

The static stimulation levels increase in strength from 1 to 5. Pressing the stimulation level button while
the receiver collar is on level 5 will cause the receiver collar to revert to level 1. Refer to the function and
response table to choose the static stimulation level that best fits your pet.
The receiver collar is equipped to automatically increase the level of static stimulation the longer your pet
remains in the static stimulation zone if the collar is set at level 2 or above.
The receiver indicator light acts as a low battery indicator, flashing every 4 to 5 seconds when replacement
is required.

Anti-Linger Prevention
The anti-linger prevention feature keeps your pet from staying in the warning zone for long periods of
time and draining the receiver collar battery. Your pet will hear a warning tone when he reaches the
warning zone. If your pet does not return to the pet area after 2 seconds, he will receive a continuous static
stimulation until he returns to the pet area.
Run-Through Prevention
This system includes a unique run-through prevention feature so that your pet cannot “run through” the pet
area without receiving an increased level of static stimulation. The receiver collar automatically increases
the static stimulation when your pet continues more than 20% of the way through the pet fencing boundary
width. For example, if the signal is detected 3 m from the wire and your pet enters the static stimulation zone,
this feature is activated when he is approximately 2.5 m from the boundary wire. Your pet will then receive
a static stimulation that is at an increased level corresponding to the static stimulation level setting on the
receiver collar. The receiver collar is equipped to automatically increase the level of static stimulation the
longer your pet remains in the static stimulation zone if the collar is set at level 2 or above. The run-through
prevention sound is an intermittent tone.
Over-Stimulation Protection
In the unlikely event that your pet “freezes” in the static stimulation zone, this feature limits the static
stimulation duration to a maximum of 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, the static stimulation will stop and the
green indicator light will stay on for 10 seconds. The receiver collar remains locked out until your pet leaves
the static stimulation zone.

Step 7: Set the Boundary Width and Test the Receiver Collar
With the boundary wire in place and properly connected, it is time to set the boundary width and test
the system.
Always remove your pet’s receiver collar before performing any transmitter testing
or adjustments. This will prevent unintended static stimulations.
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 that the receiver collar is delivering static
stimulation. To best utilize the automatic run-through
prevention feature, the containment boundary width should
extend at least 2 m to 3 m on each side of the boundary
wire (total boundary width of 4 m to 6 m).
1. Apply power to the fence transmitter with the supplied
power adaptor.
2. The boundary width is adjusted by using the
transmitter’s boundary width control knob. Turn the
knob anti-clockwise until the loop indicator light is no
longer lit. Turn the knob clockwise and increase by 2
numbers. The light should turn on.
3. To identify the warning and static stimulation zones
make sure the static stimulation on the receiver collar is
set at level 5.
4. Test the boundary width of the system by selecting a
section of straight boundary wire that is at least 15 m long.
Start inside the centre of the pet area.
5. Place the test light tool contacts (7A) against the
receiver collar contact points (7B). Hold the receiver
collar at your pet’s neck height (7C) with the contact
points pointing up and the PetSafe
®
logo facing the
boundary wire. Slowly walk toward the boundary wire
until you hear the warning tone (7D). When you hear
the warning tone, you have identified the boundary
width distance (static stimulation zone).
6. Two seconds after the warning tone, the test light
will begin to flash. This flashing light can aid you in
identifying the boundary width if you have difficulty
hearing the tone. To prevent the receiver collar from
going into over-stimulation 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.

7. Turning the boundary width control knob clockwise
increases the boundary width, while turning it anti-
clockwise decreases
it (7E). Repeat this activity as
needed until the receiver collar tones between 2 m to
3 m 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.
8. Test the boundary width in a number of different
locations around the pet area until you are satisfied
that the system is functioning properly.
9. Next, walk all around the pet area (7F) to ensure there
are no areas where the receiver collar may activate
from signals coupled onto 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 pet’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 as
shown in figure1A.
10. To test the run-through prevention feature, walk
towards the boundary wire. The receiver collar should
tone and the test light should flash brighter as you
enter the run through area (7G). If you are satisfied
that your system is functioning properly, you are ready
to start burying the boundary wire. If the receiver
collar did not tone or the test light did not flash, see the
troubleshooting section.

Step 8: Bury the Boundary Wire
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables
marked before you dig to bury your wire. In most areas, this is a free
service. Avoid these cables when you dig.
Before you begin installing the boundary wire, unplug the fence transmitter.
Burying the boundary wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.
1. Cut a trench 2.5 cm–7.6 cm deep along your planned boundary. It only needs to be as wide as the wire.
Quick Tip: We have tried lots of tools. Lawn trenchers, which you can often rent from a local hardware
store, work great and make for a quick job. You
can also use a flat shovel, like a trenching shovel.
2. Place the boundary wire into the trench
maintaining some slack to allow it to expand
and contract with temperature variations.
3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick
to push the boundary wire into the trench.
Be careful not to damage the boundary
wire insulation.
Utilizing an Existing Fence
The boundary wire can be attached to a chain
link fence, split rail fence or a wooden privacy
fence. The boundary wire can be attached
as high as needed. However, make sure the
boundary width is set at a high enough range for
your pet to receive the signal.
Chain Link Fence (8A):
Weave the boundary wire through the links or
use plastic quick ties.
• Wooden Split Rail orPrivacy Fence (8A):
Use staples to attach the boundary wire.
Avoid puncturing the insulation of the
boundary wire.
• Double Loop with an Existing Fence:
Run the boundary wire on top of the fence
and return it on the bottom of the fence to get
the 1.5 m separation that is needed.
• Gate (Single Loop) (8B): Bury the
boundary wire in the ground across the
gate opening.
Note: The signal is still active across the
gate. Your pet cannot pass through an
open gate.
• Gate (Double Loop) (8B): Bury both
boundary wires across the gate opening while
keeping them 1.5 m apart.

Follow all safety instructions for your power tools. Be sure to always wear your
safety goggles.
Cross Hard Surfaces
(driveways, sidewalks, etc.)
• Concrete Driveway or Sidewalk (8C):
Place the boundary wire in a convenient
expansion joint or create a groove using a
circular saw and masonry blade. Place the
boundary wire in the groove and cover with
an appropriate waterproofing compound.
For best results, brush away dirt or other
debris before patching.
• Gravel or Dirt Driveway (8D): Place the
boundary wire in a PVC pipe or water hose
to protect the boundary wire before burying.
Step 9: Place the Boundary Flags
The boundary flags are visual reminders for your pet of
where the warning zone is located.
1. Place the test light contacts on the contact points. Hold
the receiver collar at the height of your pet’s neck (9A).
2. Walk towards the warning zone until the receiver
collar beeps (9B).
3. Place the boundary flag in the ground along the
boundary wire
(9C).
4. Walk back into the pet area until the beeping stops.
5. Repeat this process along the warning zone until it is
marked with boundary flags every 3 m
(9D)
.
Note: If you cannot hear the beep, refer to the test light
instructions in Step 7. To prevent an unintended stimulation,
after the boundary flags have been placed, be sure to set
the static stimulation on the receiver collar back to level 1,
which is tone only.

Step 10: Fit the Receiver Collar
• Proper fit of the receiver collar is important. A receiver collar worn for too long or
made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage, ranging from redness to
pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the receiver collar on the pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the receiver collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Regularly recheck the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in
this product manual.
• Never connect a lead to a collar with contact points. It will cause excessive
pressure on the contact points.
• When connecting a lead to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on
the receiver collar.
• Wash the pet’s neck area and the contact points of the receiver collar weekly with
a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the receiver collar until the skin
has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit
our website.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. However, never
shave the pet’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
Important: The proper fit and placement
of your receiver collar is important for
effective training. The contact points must
have direct contact with your pet’s skin on
the underside of his neck.
1. Be sure the receiver collar is off
before placing it on your pet.
Then with your pet standing, fit the
receiver collar snugly onto your pet’s
neck so that the contact points make
contact with your pet’s skin on the
underside of his neck.
2. Check the tightness of the receiver
collar by inserting one finger
between the end of a contact point
and your pet’s neck. The fit should
be snug but not constricting (10A).
3. Allow your pet to wear the receiver
collar for a few minutes, then check
it again.
4. Once you are satisfied with the fit of
the receiver collar, remove it from
your pet and trim it, but make sure to
allow room for growth or a thicker
winter coat. Use a lighter to seal the
cut so that it will not fray (10B).
5. The collar will slip if it is not properly
threaded. The slide buckle prevents
the collar from becoming loose
around your pet’s neck and the
ridges must be facing up (10C).

Training Guide
Important: Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the Petsafe
®
Basic In-Ground Fence
™
System. Read this section completely before beginning to train your pet. Remember that this PetSafe
®
Basic
In-Ground Fence
™
System is not a solid barrier.
• Pets respond to our emotions. You should stay upbeat and have fun with your pet throughout the
training process.
• Train for 15 minutes or less at a time. Do not try to do too much too quickly. More-frequent short sessions
are better than less-frequent longer sessions.
• We suggest a minimum of 14 days of training. Depending on your pet and your consistency, the training
could take more or less time.
• Always have small pieces of your pet’s favourite treats readily at hand. Promptly reward your pet for
good behaviour. If your pet goes crazy for a certain ball or toy, use that instead or in addition. Never
treat your pet or allow them to eat a treat in the static stimulation zone.
• If your pet shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule, add additional days of training or
increase the amount of play time with your pet in the pet area. Common stress signals include:
- Pet pulling on lead toward the house
- Ears tucked or pulled back
- Tail down or tucked between legs
- Body lowered
- Nervous/frantic movement or stiffening of pet’s body
- Lip-licking or yawning
• Your pet must be completely comfortable near the boundary flags at the end of every training session. Spend
at least 5 minutes of “play time” at the completion of each session within 3 m of the boundary flags.
• Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise and play.
• Remove the receiver collar after each training session.
• Be sure to contain your pet by another means during the training period (e.g. pen, lead, etc.). If you
need to take your pet out of the pet area, remove the receiver collar and either pick your pet up or put
him in the car to pass out of the pet area. The goal is for your pet to associate leaving the pet area only
with you.
• Even if you think your pet is responding well to the training, complete the entire training. Consistency
is key.
Phase 1:
Day 1—Tone-Only Training for Boundary Awareness
Perform 3 training sessions per day, each lasting 10–15 minutes.
Goal:
To have your pet learn that the boundary flags and warning tone from the receiver collar define the new
pet area.
Setup:
• Program the static stimulation level on the receiver collar to level 1, which is tone-only training mode.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck and attach a lead.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points.
• Have small pieces of your pet’s favourite treats available.
• Have your pet’s favourite play toy available.
petsafe.com22
ENFRES
NL
IT
DE
Steps:
1. Begin by walking your pet on a lead in the pet area. Calmly praise and talk to your pet.
2. Move toward the boundary flags (11A). Your pet reads your energy so keep your mood happy.
3. With full control of your pet on a lead, walk past the flags (11B). Allow your pet to stay in the static
stimulation zone for up to 2 seconds then gently help him or her back into the pet area (11C).
Immediately praise and offer your pet a treat as he or she enters the pet area, even if you have helped
with the lead.
Note: Pulling on the lead is not as effective as encouraging your pet to come when called.
4. Repeat this process at the same boundary flag until your pet resists going into the static stimulation zone.
5. Aim to master 3–4 boundary flags per session. Make this fun! Praise your pet if he or she quickly retreats
or resists going into the static stimulation zone.
Note: Never treat your pet or allow them to eat a treat in the static stimulation zone.
Phase 2:
Days 2 Through 4—Boundary Awareness with
Static Stimulation
Perform 3 training sessions per day, each lasting 10–15 minutes.
Goal:
To train your pet to stay in the pet area and respect the boundary.
Setup:
• Program the static stimulation level on the receiver collar to level 2.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck and attach a lead.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points.
• Have small pieces of your pet’s favourite treats available.
• Have your pet’s favourite play toy available.
Steps:
1. Repeat steps 1–3 in Phase 1, this time allowing your pet to stay in the stimulation zone long enough to
receive a static stimulation.
2. Observe whether or not your pet seems to feel the stimulation. A slight change in your pet’s behaviour,
such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar or flicking his ears, indicates your pet’s
recognition level. If your pet does not respond to the static stimulation, confirm that the receiver collar is
fitting properly according to Step 10.
3. If the receiver collar is fitted properly and your pet does not respond to the static stimulation, increase
the static stimulation level by one setting. Continue to observe whether your pet is looking around in
curiosity, scratching at his collar or flicking his ears.
4. Stay at the same flag until your pet resists going into the static stimulation zone.

Phase 3:
Days 5 Through 8—Distraction Phase
Perform 3 training sessions per day, each lasting 10–15 minutes.
Goal:
To train your pet to stay within the pet area with distractions outside of the pet area.
Setup:
• Program the static stimulation level on the receiver collar to level 2 or higher, depending on the reaction
results from days 2 through 4.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck and attach a lead.
• Have small pieces of your pet’s favourite treats available.
• Have your pet’s favourite play toy available.
• Stage some distractions to tempt your pet to enter the static stimulation zone. Start with temptations that
are of lower value for your pet, and work your way up. It is typically harder for pets to resist temptations
that are close by than those further away:
- Have a family member cross from inside the pet area to outside of it.
- Place a ball, treat or toy outside of the pet area.
- Have a neighbour walk their pet outside of the pet area.
• Gradually increase distraction level.
- Never coax or call your pet out of the pet area.
Steps:
1. With full control of your pet on a lead, have the distraction presented.
2. If your pet does not move toward the distraction, praise and offer a treat.
3. If your pet does react to the distraction, allow him or her to go into the static stimulation zone while still
on the lead.
4. Help your pet back into the pet area if he or she does not turn back after 2 seconds.
5. Treat and praise your pet anytime he or she comes back into the pet area with or without help.
6. Repeat this process with other distractions. Use other family members during this process.
7. If your pet does not respond to the static stimulation, confirm that the receiver collar is fitting properly
according to the instructions in Step 10.
8. If the receiver collar is fitted properly and if your pet does not respond to the static stimulation, increase
the static stimulation level by one setting.

Phase 4:
Days 9 Through 14—Supervision Off the Lead
Training sessions should start at 10–15 minutes, gradually increasing to over an hour.
Your pet is ready for this step only when he or she clearly avoids the entire static stimulation zone, regardless
of any distractions or temptations. During this step, do not leave your pet unattended.
Goal:
To give your pet free run of the pet area off
the lead.
Setup:
• Adjust the static stimulation level to the
permanent setting appropriate for your pet.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your
pet’s neck. Keep a lead close by to use in case
your pet escapes the pet area.
Steps:
1. Enter the pet area with your pet wearing the
receiver collar.
2. Walk around the garden and play with your pet, staying within the pet area at all times (11D).
3. Preoccupy yourself with another task in the garden while watching your pet.
4. Should your pet escape, take the receiver collar off and lead him back into the pet area.
Phase 5:
Days 15 to 30—Pet Monitoring
By now your pet should be ready use the system without constant supervision. However, be sure to check in
on your pet at regular intervals.
After you are satisfied your pet’s training is complete, remove every other boundary flag every 4 days until
all flags are removed. Save the boundary flags for future use.
Taking Your Pet Out of the Pet Area
Important: Remove the receiver collar and leave it at home.
Once your pet learns the boundary, he will be reluctant to cross it for
walks or car rides.
Option 1:
Replace the receiver collar with a regular collar. Put your pet in a car
that is within the pet area and drive him out of the pet area.
Option 2:
Replace the receiver collar with a regular collar and lead. Walk
your pet out of the pet area while giving a command such as “OK”
at a specific place along the boundary (the end of your driveway,
sidewalk, etc.). Always leave the pet area from the same spot in your
garden with a lead and your pet will associate leaving the pet area
only on a lead, only at this spot, and only with a person. You may
initially need to convince your pet to leave the pet area with a treat
and lots of praise.
Note: You may also carry your pet out of the pet area.
Congratulations! You have now completed the training program. You are both ready to enjoy more
freedom. Just make sure to continue to check the tightness of the receiver collar and remove it when it is not
in use.

System Test
The system test is used to determine the
cause of system problems that have not
been addressed elsewhere in this product
manual. You will need a piece of boundary
wire greater than 4.5 m long with 1 cm of
insulation removed from each end to use as a
test loop wire. Make a note of your boundary
width dial setting, and receiver collar setting
before beginning the system test.
Follow the steps below to perform the
system test:
1. Remove the receiver collar from your pet
and make sure a good battery is installed
in the receiver collar.
2. Set the receiver collar static stimulation
to level 5.
3. Disconnect the twisted boundary wire
from the boundary wire terminals on
the fence transmitter by pressing the
red release levers on the connector and
pulling the wires free (12).
4. Insert the two ends of the test loop wire
into the boundary wire terminals on the
transmitter.
5. Turn the boundary width control knob to
10 and then back to 5.
6. Place the test light tool contacts on the
contact points of the receiver collar.
While holding the receiver collar with the test light tool in place, approach the wire from the outside
loop 3 cm off the ground. Make a mental note of the distance where the receiver collar activates from
the wire.
7. Turn the boundary width control knob to 10 and repeat step 6. The distance where the receiver collar
activates should be greater than the previous result.
8. If more than one receiver collar is used on the system, repeat the above test on each collar.
9. Interpreting the results:
a. If the power light or the loop indicator light are not both lit on the fence transmitter for any of the
above tests, there is a problem with the transmitter. Contact the Customer Care Centre.
b. If both the power and loop indicator lights are on, but the receiver collar does not activate on the test
loop wire, the receiver collar is not working. Contact the Customer Care Centre.
c. If the transmitter power and loop indicator lights are on and the receiver collar is activating at
different distances on the test loop wire, the problem is most likely in the containment boundary wire.
Perform the wire break location test.
10. When the testing is complete, reconnect and verify that the boundary wire is plugged into the transmitter
and the transmitter is plugged in.
11. Return the boundary width control knob setting to the position noted earlier.
12. Repeat the boundary width testing from Step 7 on page 16 until you achieve the desired boundary
width between 4 m and 6 m.

Wire Break Location Test
The following lists identify the common locations where wire breaks occur. Please inspect these areas for
signs of damage.
Wire breaks in the twisted pair are commonly found:
1. At the wire exit point of the house
2. Where the twisted pair of wire enters the ground from the house, usually caused by string trimmers
3. Where the wires cross sidewalks or driveways due to edging and string trimmers
4. Around landscaping and flower beds due to digging, or working up the soil
Wire breaks in the boundary wire are commonly found:
1. In aerated lawns
2. Where the wires cross sidewalks or driveways due to edging and string trimmers
3. Around landscaping and flower beds due to digging, or working up the soil
4. At wire splices where gel-filled capsules have not been installed
5. At wire splices without reinforcement knots
If you still cannot find the break in the boundary wire:
1. Unplug the fence transmitter.
2. Connect both ends of your twisted boundary wire to one terminal on the transmitter.
3. Measure and cut a test wire which is half the length of your total boundary wire footage.
4. Connect one end of test wire to the other boundary wire terminal on the transmitter.
5. Locate the halfway point of your boundary and cut the boundary wire.
6. Splice the other end of the test wire to either side of your boundary wire where you cut it in half.
7. Plug in the fence transmitter and check the loop indicator light. If the loop indicator light is on, you can
assume that the break is in the other half of the boundary wire.
8. If the loop indicator light did not come on, you may assume there is a break in this portion of the boundary
wire. However, there is a small chance of having more than one break in your system. Be sure to check both
halves of your entire loop.
9. Replace the damaged boundary wire with new boundary wire.
10. Reconnect the boundary wire to the transmitter.
11. Check the loop indicator light. If the loop indicator light is on, test the system with the receiver collar.

Troubleshooting
The receiver collar is not
beeping or correcting.
• Check the battery to make sure it is installed properly.
• Check that both lights are lit on the fence transmitter. If
not, perform the “System Test.”
The receiver collar is beeping,
but the pet is not responding to
the static stimulation.
• Make sure the static stimulation is set at level 2
or above.
• Test the receiver collar with the test light by walking
toward the boundary wire. If the test light flashes,
adjust the fit of the receiver collar.
• Trim your pet’s fur where the contact points touch the
neck and/or switch to the longer contact points.
• The contact points must be in contact with pet’s skin.
• Increase the static stimulation level.
• Repeat the training steps to reinforce training.
• Purchase a stronger receiver collar by contacting the
Customer Care Centre.
The receiver collar has to be
held on top of the boundary
wire to activate.
• Replace the battery.
• Adjust the boundary width control knob clockwise to
increase the distance from the boundary wire that the
receiver collar activates.
• If using a double loop layout, make sure the boundary
wires are separated at least 1.5 m.
• If the receiver collar still has to be held on top of the
boundary wire, perform the “System Test.”
The receiver collar activates
inside the house.
• Turn the boundary width control knob anti-clockwise to
decrease the distance from the boundary wire that the
receiver collar activates.
• Make sure the boundary wire is not running within
4.5 m of the house. The signal can transmit through the
walls of your house.
• Make sure the boundary wires are twisted from the
boundary to the fence transmitter.
The Receiver LED indicator
light is flashing every 4 to
5 seconds and I have just
installed a new battery.
• To reset the low battery indicator, remove the battery
from the receiver collar. Discharge all power by
holding the stimulation level button down until the LED
is no longer illuminated. Reinstall the battery.
I have an inconsistent signal.
• Make sure the fence transmitter is at least 1 m from
large metal objects or appliances.
• Make sure all boundary wire turns are gradual with a
minimum 1 m radius.
• Make sure the boundary wire is not running parallel
to or within 3 m of electrical wires, neighbouring
containment systems, telephone wires, television or
antenna cables, or satellite dishes.
• If a neighbouring containment system may be causing
an inconsistent signal, move the boundary wire farther
away from the neighbouring containment system.

Consignes de sécurité importantes
Description des termes d'avertissement et symboles utilisés dans ce manuel d'utilisation
Ce symbole est une alerte de sécurité. Il est utilisé pour vous alerter des risques de blessures.
Veuillez respecter tous les messages de sécurité qui suivent ce symbole pour éviter tout risque de
blessure ou de décès.
AVERTISSEMENT indique une situation dangereuse qui, si elle n’est
pas évitée, risque d’entraîner la mort ou des blessures graves.
ATTENTION, utilisé avec un symbole d’alerte de sécurité, indique une
situation dangereuse qui, si elle n’est pas évitée, pourrait entraîner des
blessures légères à modérées.
ATTENTION, utilisé sans le symbole d’alerte de sécurité, indique
une situation dangereuse qui, si elle n’est pas évitée, pourrait blesser
votre animal.
AVIS, indique les pratiques qui ne sont pas relatives aux
blessures corporelles.
• N’utilisez pas ce produit si votre animal a tendance à être agressif. Les animaux agressifs peuvent
provoquer des blessures graves, voire la mort de leur propriétaire ou d’autres personnes. Si vous
n’êtes pas sûr(e) que ce produit convient à votre animal, veuillez consulter votre vétérinaire ou un
dresseur professionnel.
• Les câbles souterrains peuvent être à haute tension. Faites marquer l’emplacement de tous les câbles
souterrains avant de creuser pour enterrer votre fil. Dans la plupart des endroits, ce service est gratuit.
Évitez ces câbles lorsque vous creusez.
• N’essayez pas de couper ni d’ouvrir la pile. Jeter toutes les batteries conformément aux instructions.
• Ne la brûlez pas, ne la percez pas, ne la déformez pas, ne la court-circuitez pas et ne la chargez
jamais avec un chargeur inapproprié. Le non-respect de cet avertissement peut provoquer un incendie,
une explosion, des dégâts matériels ou des blessures corporelles.
• Il existe un risque d’explosion si une pile est remplacée par une autre d’un type inapproprié. Ne
provoquez pas de court-circuit, ne mélangez pas les piles neuves avec les piles usagées, ne les jetez
pas au feu et ne les exposez pas à l’eau. Lorsque les piles sont entreposées ou mises au rebut, elles
doivent être protégées contre les courts-circuits.
• Veuillez respecter toutes les consignes de sécurité pour vos outils électriques. Portez toujours vos
lunettes protectrices.
• Veillez à ne pas installer, brancher ni retirer votre système en cas d’orage. Si l’orage est suffisamment
proche pour que vous entendiez du tonnerre, il est suffisamment proche pour provoquer des
surtensions dangereuses.
• Afin d’éviter tout risque d’électrocution, utilisez l’émetteur de clôture à l’intérieur, dans un endroit
sec exclusivement.

• Laissé sur le sol, le fil représente un risque de chute. Placez vos câbles et testez le système avec soin.
• Ce produit n’est pas un jouet. Conserver hors de portée des enfants.
• Cette clôture anti-fugue de PetSafe
®
avec fil standard N’est PAS une barrière physique. Elle est conçue
pour dissuader l’animal de sortir du périmètre délimité à l’aide d’une stimulation électrostatique. Il est
important de renforcer le dressage de votre animal domestique de manière régulière. Étant donné
que le niveau de tolérance aux stimulations électrostatiques varie d’un animal de compagnie à l’autre,
Radio Systems Corporation NE PEUT garantir que le système permette systématiquement d’empêcher un
animal de compagnie de quitter le périmètre défini. Certains animaux domestiques ne peuvent pas être
dressés à ne pas traverser ces limites ! Dès lors, si vous avez des raisons de penser que votre animal peut
représenter un danger pour autrui ou se blesser lui-même s’il parvient à s’échapper, il est déconseillé
de compter uniquement sur ce système pour confiner l’animal. Radio Systems Corporation NE PEUT être
tenu responsable en cas de dommages matériels, de pertes commerciales ou de dommages accidentels
causés par un animal s’étant échappé du dispositif.
• Il est important que le collier-récepteur soit bien ajusté. Un collier-récepteur porté trop longtemps ou
trop serré peut irriter la peau de l’animal et provoquer des blessures pouvant aller de simples rougeurs à
des ulcères de pression ; on appelle ce type de blessure « escarre de décubitus ».
• Évitez de laisser votre animal de compagnie porter le collier-récepteur plus de 12 heures par jour.
• Dans la mesure du possible, changez la position du collier-récepteur toutes les 1 ou 2 heures sur le cou
de votre animal.
• Revérifiez régulièrement que le collier est bien positionné pour éviter toute pression excessive ; suivez les
instructions décrites dans ce manuel d’utilisation.
• N’attachez jamais de laisse a un collier muni de contacteurs. Cela exercerait une pression excessive sur
les contacteurs.
• Lorsque vous attachez une laisse à un autre collier, veillez à ce qu’il n’exerce pas de pression sur le
collier-récepteur.
• Lavez le cou de l’animal et les contacteurs du collier-récepteur avec un chiffon humide chaque semaine.
• Examinez quotidiennement la zone de contact pour détecter toute rougeur ou plaie.
• En cas d’irritation ou de douleur, interrompez l’utilisation du collier-récepteur jusqu’à ce que la peau
soit guérie.
• Si l’irritation persiste au-delà de 48 heures, consultez votre vétérinaire.
• Pour obtenir des informations supplémentaires sur les escarres de décubitus et la nécrose cutanée,
consultez notre site Web.
• Vous aurez peut-être besoin de tailler les poils dans la zone des contacteurs. Cependant, ne rasez
jamais le cou de votre animal, car cela risquerait de provoquer des irritations ou une infection.
• La largeur du périmètre du système doit être vérifiée après chaque réglage apporté à la zone autorisée
pour éviter que votre animal de compagnie ne reçoive des stimulations involontaires.
• Retirez toujours le collier-récepteur du cou de votre animal avant de procéder à des tests ou des
réglages sur l’émetteur. Cela évitera toute stimulation électrostatique involontaire.
• Évitez si possible d’utiliser une prise protégée par un disjoncteur différentiel (RCD) ou un disjoncteur
de fuite de terre (GFCI). Le système de clôture fonctionnera, mais en de rares occasions, des éclairs
tombant à proximité peuvent empêcher le bon fonctionnement du disjoncteur RCD ou GFCI. En
l’absence de courant, votre animal pourrait être en mesure de s’échapper. Vous devriez alors
réenclencher le RCD ou le GFCI pour remettre le système sous tension.
• Un bon dressage de votre animal est essentiel au bon fonctionnement du système. Pendant les
2 premières semaines de dressage, n’utilisez pas le système sans surveiller attentivement votre animal.
• Avant de procéder à l’installation du fil d’antenne, débranchez l’émetteur de clôture.
• Évitez d’endommager l’isolation du fil de boucle ; tout dommage risquerait de générer des zones de signal
faible et d’entraîner une défaillance du périmètre.
• Attention à ne pas couper le fil d’antenne lorsque vous tondez ou coupez votre gazon.
• Pour protéger l’émetteur, déconnecter le fil d’antenne et débrancher l’adaptateur de la prise quand
le système n’est pas utilisé pendant longtemps ou avant un orage. Cela protégera l’émetteur en cas
de surtensions.

Fonctionnement du système
La clôture anti-fugue de PetSafe
®
avec fil standard est prouvée sûre, confortable et efficace pour les
animaux de plus de 3,6 kg. L’émetteur pour clôture émet un signal radio qui est transmis à une distance
maximale de 610 m du fil d’antenne. Le fil d’antenne est enterré ou attaché à un objet fixe pour délimiter
la zone autorisée. La zone autorisée est délimitée de manière temporaire par les fanions de délimitation
pour disposer d’une aide visuelle lors du dressage. Votre animal de compagnie porte un collier-récepteur
doté de contacteurs en contact avec son cou ; une fois dressé, il peut être laissé en liberté dans sa zone
autorisée. Lorsque votre animal de compagnie s’approche de la zone d’avertissement, le collier-récepteur
émet un signal sonore d’avertissement. Si votre animal de compagnie reste dans la zone de stimulation
électrostatique, une stimulation lui sera administrée via les contacteurs pour attirer son attention, jusqu’à ce
qu’il retourne dans la zone autorisée.

Manuel d’utilisation
Étape 1 : Marquage de l’emplacement des installations de
services publics
1. Demandez aux services publics de votre
localité de marquer l’emplacement des
installations de services publics. Si des
voisins ont installé un système anti-fugue
souterrain, demandez-leur où se trouve la
clôture. Croyez-nous, il est essentiel de ne
pas négliger cette étape.
2. Organisez-vous de manière à contourner
tous les objets métalliques de grande
taille éventuels, tels que des cabanes, et
les câbles. Vous pouvez croiser des installations de services publics, mais uniquement à des angles de
90 degrés (1A).
Remarque : les objets métalliques de grande taille et les câbles peuvent amplifier et/ou moduler les
signaux radio de manières imprévisibles.
Les câbles souterrains peuvent être à haute tension. Faites marquer
l’emplacement de tous les câbles souterrains avant de creuser pour
enterrer votre fil. Dans la plupart des cas, ce service est gratuit. Évitez
ces câbles lorsque vous creusez.
Étape 2 : Installation de l’émetteur de clôture
Déterminez l’emplacement où installer l’émetteur de clôture. Plusieurs critères doivent être pris en compte
lorsque vous choisissez l’emplacement de la prise de votre émetteur :
• Nous vous recommandons de choisir une prise située à 10 m au moins du boîtier du disjoncteur.
• L’émetteur doit être installé en intérieur, dans un endroit sec, bien aéré et protégé (2A, 2B).
• Dans la mesure où vous devrez acheminer un câble de l’émetteur jusqu’au fil d’antenne, il doit être
installé à proximité d’une fenêtre ou d’un mur que vous pouvez perforer (2A).
• Les températures à l’emplacement choisi ne doivent pas tomber en-dessous de -23°C.
• L’émetteur doit se trouver à au moins 1 m de tout objet métallique de grande taille ou de tout appareil
électroménager (2C). Ces objets peuvent altérer l’uniformité du signal.
• L’émetteur doit être fixé à une surface non mobile à l’aide d’un matériel de montage approprié (non
inclus). Un gabarit de montage figure au verso de ce manuel.

Une fois que l’émetteur de clôture est monté, il faut faire sortir le fil d’antenne du bâtiment. Pour cela, il
est possible de le faire passer par une fenêtre ou par un trou percé dans un mur (2D). Avant de percer un
mur, vérifier qu’il n’y ait pas de câbles ou de conduits dedans. Vérifiez que le fil d’antenne n’est pas coupé
ni comprimé par une fenêtre, une porte ou la porte du garage, car cela risquerait de l’endommager avec
le temps.
Pour éviter les risques d’incendie ou de chocs électriques, installez l’émetteur de clôture dans un bâtiment
conforme aux codes locaux et d’État relatifs à l’électricité.
• Veillez à ne pas installer, brancher ni retirer votre système en
cas d’orage. Si l’orage est suffisamment proche pour que vous
entendiez du tonnerre, il est suffisamment proche pour provoquer
des surtensions dangereuses.
• Afin d’éviter tout risque d’électrocution, utilisez l’émetteur de
clôture à l’intérieur, dans un endroit sec exclusivement.
Évitez si possible d’utiliser une prise protégée par un disjoncteur différentiel
(RCD) ou un disjoncteur de fuite de terre (GFCI). Le système de clôture
fonctionnera, mais en de rares occasions, des éclairs tombant à proximité
peuvent empêcher le bon fonctionnement du disjoncteur RCD ou GFCI. En
l’absence de courant, votre animal pourrait être en mesure de s’échapper. Vous
devrez alors réinitialiser le disjoncteur RCD ou GFCI pour rétablir l’alimentation
électrique du système.
Pour protéger l’émetteur, déconnecter le fil d’antenne et débrancher l’adaptateur de la prise
quand le système n’est pas utilisé pendant longtemps ou avant un orage. Cela protégera
l’émetteur en cas de surtensions.

Étape 3 : Conception de la limite de votre zone
Conseils pour la planification de base
• Vous devez toujours planifier votre installation, positionner le fil d’antenne et tester le système comme
décrit dans ce manuel d’utilisation avant d’enterrer le fil d’antenne. Vous ne voudrez certainement
pas découvrir un problème dans votre installation ou un raccordement lâche quelque part après
l’enfouissement du fil.
• Des exemples de raccordement sont fournis dans cette section.
• Le fil d’antenne doit partir de l’émetteur de clôture et former une boucle complète (3A).
• Utilisez des tours graduels aux coins, avec un rayon minimum de 1 m pour obtenir un périmètre plus
uniforme (3B). Ne tournez pas le fil brusquement, car que le dispositif du périmètre serait interrompu.
• Créez dans votre jardin des zones dans lesquelles votre animal peut croiser le fil d’antenne en toute
sécurité sans stimulation électrostatique en torsadant ensemble les fils d’antennes 30 fois par m (3C). Le
signal est ainsi désactivé et votre animal de compagnie pourra se rendre en toute sécurité dans la zone
en question.
• Pour éviter que votre animal ne s’enfuie, nous vous recommandons de régler la largeur du périmètre
des zones d’avertissement et de stimulation électrostatique sur environ 4 à 6 m (2 à 3 m de chaque côté
du fil).
• Évitez les passages trop étroits pour que votre animal puisse bouger librement (le long de la maison
par exemple).
• Le collier-récepteur peut être activé à l’intérieur de la maison si le fil d’antenne est installé le long du mur
extérieur de la maison. Dans ce cas, enlevez le collier-récepteur de votre animal avant de l’amener à
l’intérieur et réduisez la portée à l’aide de la molette de réglage de la largeur du périmètre ou trouvez
une configuration alternative.

Configuration en boucle simple ou double boucle
La zone anti-fugue peut être créée à l’aide d’un fil d’antenne unique, qui est placé tout autour de la propriété
(3C), ou en doublant le fil d’antenne le long de la même trajectoire (3E).
Clôture en boucle simple
• Pour créer une zone anti-fugue pour l’ensemble de la propriété
• Pour les zones d’exclusion autour de jardins de fleurs, d’aménagements paysagers ou de piscines
Dans une configuration en boucle simple, le fil d’antenne part de l’émetteur de clôture et est acheminé à
travers le jardin et tout autour du périmètre de la propriété, et se rebranche à l’émetteur de clôture. Cette
disposition forme une limite de la zone avec un seul fil.
Exemple n° 1 : Boucle de périmètre
(3C) La boucle de périmètre représente
la configuration la plus courante. Elle
permet aussi à votre animal de compagnie
de se déplacer librement dans toute la
propriété. Elle permet aussi de protéger
les jardins de fleurs, les piscines et les
aménagements paysagers.
Exemple n° 2 : Boucle de périmètre
intégrale utilisant une clôture existante
(3D) Cette configuration vous permet
d’inclure votre clôture existante dans la
configuration et empêche votre animal de
compagnie de sauter par-dessus ou de
creuser dessous. Cette configuration réduit
considérablement le temps d’installation
puisqu’elle ne nécessite pas d’enterrer la
majeure partie du fil.
Acheminez le fil de l’émetteur de clôture vers le point A, puis vers le point B, etc. (B to C to D to E) tout autour
de la propriété, jusqu’à retourner au point A. Les fils partant du point A devront ensuite être torsadés et
rebranchés à l’émetteur de clôture à l’intérieur de votre maison.

Clôture en boucle double
• Pour isoler une zone de clôture ou une section
de votre jardin seulement (p. ex., partie avant
ou au bord de l’eau de la propriété seulement)
• Les 2 sections parallèles du double fil
d’antenne doivent être séparées l’une de
l’autre au moins d’environ 1,5 m pour éviter
la désactivation du signal et fournir une
largeur du périmètre adéquate (3E)
• Une configuration en boucle double requiert
deux fois plus de fil qu’une configuration en
boucle simple, car elle double le fil le long de
la même trajectoire
Dans une configuration en boucle double, le fil
d’antenne part de l’émetteur de clôture et est
acheminé dans le jardin pour former une zone
de clôture dans une section de votre propriété
(p. ex. avant de la propriété seulement). Le fil fait
ensuite demi-tour et est réacheminé le long de la
même trajectoire pour se rebrancher à l’émetteur
de clôture. Cette disposition forme une zone de
clôture avec un double fil.
Exemple n° 3 : Avant ou arrière de la
propriété seulement (3E)
Acheminez le fil depuis l’émetteur de clôture vers
le point A, puis vers le point B, etc. (B à C à D à E
à F). Faites ensuite demi-tour et suivez à nouveau
la trajectoire vers le point G, en tenant le fil à une
distance d’au moins 1,5 m. Quand vous parvenez
à nouveau à la maison (G), tournez brusquement
le long du côté de la maison et revenez au point
A. Enfin, torsadez les fils à partir du point A et
rebranchez-les à l’émetteur de clôture.
Exemple n° 4 : Avant de la clôture
seulement (3F)
Acheminez le fil depuis l’émetteur de clôture vers
le point A, puis vers le point B. Faites demi-tour
et suivez à nouveau la trajectoire vers le point A,
en tenant le fil à une distance d’au moins 1,5 m.
Torsadez ensuite les fils à partir du point A et
rebranchez-les à l’émetteur de clôture.
Exemple n° 5 : Propriété au bord de l’eau (3G)
Acheminez le fil depuis l’émetteur de clôture vers
le point A, puis vers le point B. Faites demi-tour et
suivez la trajectoire vers les points C, puis D, puis
E. Faites à nouveau demi-tour et suivez la même
trajectoire jusqu’au point A, en tenant le fil à une
distance d’au moins 1,5 m. Enfin, torsadez les fils
à partir du point A et rebranchez-les à l’émetteur
de clôture.
Exemple n° 6 : Boucle de fil fixée à une
clôture déjà en place (3H)
Cette délimitation vous permet d’utiliser une clôture
existante et d’empêcher votre animal de sauter
par-dessus ou de creuser en dessous de celle-ci.
Elle réduit la longueur de fil à enterrer. Acheminez
le fil depuis l’émetteur de clôture vers le point A,
puis vers le point B, etc. (B à C à D à E à F). Faites
ensuite demi-tour et suivez à nouveau la trajectoire jusqu’au point A, en tenant le fil à une distance d’au moins
1,5 m. Enfin, torsadez les fils à partir du point A et rebranchez-les à l’émetteur de clôture.

Étape 4 : Positionnement, torsion et épissure du fil d’antenne
Une fois que vous avez conçu votre configuration, l’étape
suivante consiste à positionner le fil le long de votre
propriété. Ne procédez pas à l’enfouissement du fil tant
que vous n’avez pas testé le système.
1. Commencez avec une extrémité du fil au niveau
de l’émetteur, mais ne la branchez pas encore.
Acheminez le fil à l’extérieur tout autour du périmètre
prévu et revenez vers l’émetteur.
2. Vous devrez torsader les 2 fils ensemble pour la
zone allant de l’émetteur vers l’intérieur de la
maison et à nouveau vers le jardin afin que votre
animal puisse traverser cette section sans recevoir
aucune stimulation. Torsader les deux extrémités du
fil ensemble 30 fois par mètre désactive le signal.
N’oubliez pas que les zones de croisement ne
seront fonctionnelles que si elles sont configurées à
l’intérieur de la zone anti-fugue. Il n’est pas possible
de créer des ruptures de croisement droit le long du
périmètre, par exemple à travers les allées de garage
(4A), auquel cas le signal ne sera pas désactivé.
3. Le moyen le plus rapide de torsader 2 fils consiste à
couper 2 bouts d’une longueur légèrement supérieure
à celle dont vous avez besoin, à les torsader, puis
à procéder à l’épissure de cette section. Attachez
une extrémité des 2 fils à un objet fixe et insérez
l’autre extrémité dans une perceuse mécanique.
Tendez le fil, puis utilisez la perceuse pour le torsader
lentement. Suivez le guide d’épissure ci-dessous pour
savoir comment rebrancher cette partie torsadée au
fil d’antenne principal.
Guide d’épissure
Bien que cela ne soit pas obligatoire, il est recommandé
de couper et d’épisser le fil entre chaque section
torsadée. Votre clôture anti-fugue avec fil standard est
fournie avec 2 capsules de gel pour garantir l’étanchéité
des épissures. Vous pouvez nous contacter si vous
souhaitez acheter davantage de capsules de gel.
a. Enlevez environ 1 cm de matériau isolant aux extrémités des fils à épisser (4B).
b. Insérez les extrémités dénudées dans le connecteur et vissez le connecteur autour des fils. Assurez-
vous qu’aucune partie en cuivre n’est exposée au-delà de l’extrémité du connecteur.
c. Faites un nœud à environ 7,5 cm à 10 cm du connecteur (4C). Vérifiez que le connecteur soit bien en
place sur la jonction.
d. Une fois que vous avez épissé les fils ensemble en toute sécurité, ouvrez le couvercle de la capsule de
gel étanche et insérez-y le connecteur aussi profondément que possible (4D).
e. Fermez le couvercle de la capsule (4E).
Fil d’antenne supplémentaire
Il est possible d’acheter des bobines de fil
d’antenne supplémentaires par rouleaux de
150 mètres auprès de la boutique où vous avez
acheté le kit ou auprès du service clientèle.
Remarque : lorsque vous ajoutez du fil
d’antenne, celui-ci doit être mis en place en
tant que boucle continue.
Le tableau à droite indique la longueur
approximative de fil d’antenne nécessaire
pour créer une configuration carrée en boucle
simple. La longueur varie en fonction de la
quantité de fil torsadé et de la configuration utilisée.
