How the System Works

The PetSafe In-Ground Cat Fence
®
6 months old.The system works by producing a radio signal from the Fence Transmitter through up to 1200 m (4000 ft) 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 cat. Your cat 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 cat reaches the Warning Zone, the
Receiver Collar gives a warning tone. If your cat continues into the Static Correction Zone, a safe Static Correction will be
delivered through the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Pet Area.

Key Definitions

Fence Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal through the Boundary Wire.
Pet Area: Area within the Warning Zone where your cat can roam freely.
Warning Zone: Outer edge of the Pet Area where your cat's Receiver Collar begins to beep, warning him not to go into the
Static Correction Zone.
Static Correction Zone: Zone beyond the Warning Zone where your cat's Receiver Collar will emit a Static Correction,
signaling him to return to the Pet Area.
Boundary Width: Combination of the Warning Zone and the Static Correction Zone.
Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the level of Correction at which the Receiver Collar is set. This light also serves as a
low battery indicator.
Contact Points: Deliver the safe Static Correction when your cat moves into the Static Correction Zone.
Correction Level Button: The button to adjust the level of Static Correction your cat receives in the Static Correction Zone.
Power Socket: Where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter. The Fence Transmitter is powered by a
standard outlet.
Boundary Control Switch: Adjust according to the length of Boundary Wire used.
Ground Terminal: The terminal where the Ground Wire connects to the Fence Transmitter.
Boundary Wire Terminals: Where the Boundary Wire connects to the Fence Transmitter in order to complete a
continuous loop.
Loop Indicator Light: Indicates that the Boundary Wire makes a complete loop, enabling the signal to be transmitted.
Boundary Width Control: Adjusts the width of the Warning and Static Correction Zones. Note: Adjusting the knob does not
change the level of Static Correction on the Collar.
