• We recommend using an outlet at least 30 ft. from the breaker box.
• Both the surge protector and transmitter should be indoors, in a dry, ventilated and protected area (3A, 3B).
• You will need to run wire from the transmitter to the boundary wire, so it must be near window or a wall that you can drill through (3A). The
wire should not be pinched or cross any utility lines.
• The temperatures in that location should not fall below -10°F / -23°C or rise above 104°F / 40°C.
• Both the surge protector and transmitter should be at least 3 ft. from large metal objects or appliances (3C). These items may interfere with
the signal consistency.
• In case your system sounds an alarm, place it where you will be able to hear and access it.
To mount the fence transmitter, screw the mounting bracket onto a stationary surface such as a wall, and slide the fence transmitter onto the
bracket. 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.
• 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.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the fence transmitter and surge protector indoors in dry location only.
• Turn off power to the outlet before you install or remove your surge protector.
• Risk of electric shock or fire. Use surge protector only with a duplex outlet with center screw.
• Do not install the surge protector if there is not at least 30 ft. (10 m) 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). Both the surge
protector and the fence system will function. However, in rare cases, nearby lightning may cause the GFCI to trip.
Without power, your pet may escape. You will have to reset the GFCI to restore power to the system.
• Plug the surge protector into a grounded (3-prong) outlet within 5 ft. of the fence transmitter. ALWAYS use a
grounded (3-prong) outlet to ensure 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.
• For added protection, when unused for long periods of time or prior to thunderstorms, unplug from the wall outlet
and disconnect the loop boundary wires. This will prevent damage to the transmitter due to surges.
