Locate the Fence Transmitter

Step
1
Place the Fence Transmitter:
• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area (1A, 1B).
• In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, basement, shed).
• Secured to a stationary surface using appropriate mounting hardware (not included). A mounting template is
included in the back of this guide.
• At least 1 m (3 ft) from large metal objects or appliances, as these items may interfere with the signal consistency (1C).
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. 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.

Lay Out the System

Step

Basic Planning Tips
Warning: Before digging to bury the Boundary Wire of your In-Ground Cat Fence
power, telephone, or other electrical cables in the vicinity. Many underground cables carry high voltage and digging into
them, or laying your Boundary Wire on them, may lead to hazard from shock or electrocution. Have the local utility
company mark your underground lines. In most communities this is a free service. For information regarding how these
underground wires can affect your system's operation, see Step 3 Position the Boundary Wire.
• When planning your layout, take care to exclude
access to trees, sheds or other items your cat
can use to jump over the Boundary. The signal
from the Boundary Wire only extends the same
distance vertically as horizontally. If your cat
can take the Receiver Collar out of reach of
the signal, he can jump the Boundary without
receiving a Static Correction.
• The Boundary Wire MUST start at the Fence
Transmitter and make a continuous loop back (2A).
• Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal
and allows your cat to cross over that area safely.
Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal.
Twist the Boundary Wire 30 times per meter (10
times per foot) to cancel the signal (2A).
• Design a layout that is suitable for your garden.
Sample layouts are provided in this section, and a grid for designing your layout is provided in the back of this guide.
• Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum of 1 m (3 ft) radius to produce a more consistent
boundary (2B). Do not use sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in your boundary.
• Avoid making passageways too narrow for your cat 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 cat's Receiver Collar before bringing him inside, decrease the range using the
Boundary Width Control, or consider an alternative layout.
