Surge Protection

Lightning strikes that occur even several miles away from your installation can create power surges or spikes which
may damage your unprotected electronic pet containment system. The Surge Protector included with this system
is designed to protect your In-Ground Fence
connection and/or your buried Boundary Wire.
Install the Surge Protector & Connect the Wires(4A)
(USA and Canada)
System from surges or spikes that can reach it via your AC power
™
• 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.
• Turn off power to outlet before you install or remove your
Surge Protector.
• Risk of electrical shock or fire. Use Surge Protector only with a duplex outlet with center screw.
Attach unit with long screw supplied.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter and Surge Protector indoors in dry location only.
• Do not install the Surge Protector if there is not at least 30 feet (10 meters) or more of wire between
the electrical outlet and electrical service panel.
• If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter). In
rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the GFCI to trip. Without power your dog may be
vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the GFCI to restore power to the system.
• Plug the Surge Protector into a grounded (3-prong) outlet that is within 5 feet of the Fence
Transmitter. ALWAYS use a grounded (3-prong) outlet to ensure maximum protection.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the Surge Protector plug. Do not use a 3-prong
plug to 2-prong outlet converter. Doing so will make the Surge Protector ineffective
against surges or spikes.
