using a Double Loop, you may need to increase the separation of the Boundary Wire to achieve desired range.

The Receiver Collar beeps as a warning tone and ticks when delivering a Static Correction. After hearing the beep,

indicate that the Receiver Collar and the system are working properly. Test in a number of different areas until you

are satisﬁed that the system is functioning properly. Next, walk all around the Pet Area to ensure there are no areas

where the Receiver Collar may activate from signals coupled onto buried wires or cables. Test the collar in and

around฀the฀inside฀of฀the฀house฀as฀well.฀As฀mentioned,฀cable฀and฀wires฀from฀cable฀TV,฀electrical฀or฀telephone฀lines฀

may conduct pet fencing signals inside and outside the house that can activate the cat’s collar accidentally. While

rare, if this occurs your Boundary Wire is probably too close to these outside lines and should be moved or modiﬁed

as shown in Figure 3A.

If you are satisﬁed that your system is functioning properly, you are ready to start burying the Boundary Wire. If the

Receiver฀Collar฀did฀not฀beep฀or฀the฀Test฀Light฀did฀not฀ash,฀see฀the฀“Troubleshooting”฀section.฀

Note: The Boundary Width is broken down into 20% Warning Zone and 80% Static Correction Zone.

Install the Boundary Wire

To Bury the Boundary Wire

Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.

1. Cut a trench 2.5-7.5 cm (1-3 in.) deep along your planned boundary.

2. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with

temperature variations.

3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the trench. Be careful not to

damage the Boundary Wire insulation.

To Attach the Boundary

Wire to an Existing

Fence

The Boundary Wire of the PetSafe

can be attached

to a chain link fence, split rail fence,

or a wooden privacy fence. The

Boundary Wire can be attached as high

as needed. However, make sure the

Boundary Width is set at a high enough

range for your cat to receive the

signal. If using a Double Loop with an
