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.
