System Test - Free Spirit In-Ground Fence FS-FENCE-17 Mode D'emploi

System Test

The system test is used to determine the cause of system problems that have not been addressed elsewhere in this guide. 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.
Follow the steps below to perform the system test:
1. Make a note of your boundary width setting and your collar setting so that you can return to these levels at the completion of the tests.
2. Remove the collar from your dog and make sure it is fully charged.
3. Set the collar static stimulation level to 6.
4. Disconnect the twisted boundary wire from the boundary wire terminals on the fence transmitter.
5. Insert the two ends of the test loop wire into the open boundary wire terminals on the transmitter.
6. Set the boundary width to 2.
7. Place the test light tool contacts on the contact points of the collar. While holding the collar with the test light tool in place, approach the
wire from the outside loop, keeping the collar 5 cm off the ground. Make a mental note of the distance where the collar activates from
the wire.
8. Set the boundary width to 10 and repeat step 7. The distance where the collar activates should be greater than the previous result.
9. If more than one collar is used on the system, repeat the above test on each collar.
10. Keep the boundary width at 10. Then approach the loop with the collar, as in step 7, and verify that the collar activates.
11. Interpreting the results:
a. If both the LCD display and the power indicator are not lit on the fence transmitter, or the alarm is on for any of the above tests, there
is a problem with the transmitter. Contact the Customer Care Center.
b. If both the LCD display and the power indicator are on, but the collar does not activate on the test loop wire, the collar is not working.
Contact the Customer Care Center.
c. If both the LCD display and the power indicator are on, and the collar is activating at different distances on the test loop wire, the
problem is most likely in the containment boundary wire.
12. When the testing is complete, reconnect and verify that the boundary wire is plugged into the transmitter.
13. Return the boundary width setting and the collar setting to their original levels.
