Thank you for choosing a NUM’AXES product.
Before using your CANIFUGUE PRO/CANIFUGUE MIX pet fencing system, please read the instructions in
this guide carefully and keep it for future reference.
Before using the pet fencing system, we advise you to have your dog checked by your vet to
ensure it is fit to wear a collar.
Check your dog’s neck regularly, the repeated rubbing of the contact points against the
animal’s skin may cause irritation. If this happens, remove the collar until all signs of skin
irritation have disappeared.
8 stimulation levels are available on the collar. Start with a low level and define the level from
which your dog reacts by increasing gradually.

●Foreword
The understanding between a dog and his owner has existed since a long time.
Nonetheless, a dog is often guided by his natural instincts and breaks the rules is master has taught him, causing
complaints about straying and damages such as: damage to flowerbeds, jumps into swimming pools, etc. More
seriously, he may be the victim or the cause of road accident.
The CANIFUGUE PRO/CANIFUGUE MIX pet fencing system is a modern and highly effective system enabling you to
keep one or more dogs in complete freedom within a perimeter, fenced or unfenced, you have defined.

●How the pet fencing system works
You can define your dog’s play area by installing a wire, called antenna wire, around the authorized perimeter. This
wire placed on the ground, buried or raised on an existing fence carries a radio signal from the transmitter.
When your dog, wearing a receiver collar, approaches this wire, he is warned by beep sounds that he is too close
to an area where he is not allowed; then if he carries on, static stimulations will be emitted by the collar. Your dog
will have to leave the unauthorized area to stop the stimulations and beep sounds.
An unlimited number of receiver collars can be used with one transmitter: you can keep as many dogs
as you wish safely in the same area.
CANIFUGUE PRO and CANIFUGUE MIX collars can be used at the same time with the same transmitter.
The CANIFUGUE PRO/CANIFUGUE MIX pet fencing system has been designed to give you complete satisfaction with
an antenna wire with a maximum length of 800 meters (equivalent to four square hectares). If a longer antenna
wire is used, the pet fencing system will still work, but the warning and stimulation zones will be markedly
reduced.
●Installing the pet fencing system
Transmitter
The transmitter must be installed indoors in a dry location: the transmitter can withstand changes in temperature
but will be damaged by water.
Install the transmitter in a garage or garden shed near an electrical outlet (220 V AC).
Antenna wire
For the system to operate, the wire must be connected to the transmitter and form a continuous loop from the
transmitter and back again. The outward and inward wires must be spaced 2 meters apart to avoid cancelling the
signal.
0.75 mm² or 2.5 mm² wire can be used (you can combine several wire sections).
The wire sections recommended depending on the length of the system are as follows:
for less than 800 m of antenna wire: 0.75 mm²
from 800 to 2 000 m of antenna wire: 2.5 mm²
From the transmitter, unroll the wire around the perimeter you wish to protect. To run the wire from your garage or
garden shed, pass it through a window, door or similar.
The wire can be placed on the ground, buried (maximum: 10 cm deep) or fixed to a non-metallic existing fence or
wall (best height: your dog’s neck height). If you plan on burying the wire, make sure your installation is
functioning properly before doing so. You can protect the wire by running it through PVC pipe or a length of garden
hose.
The wire must not be taut as variations in temperature may cause it to expand or contract. In the corners, do not
make right angles but prefer rounded corners with a large radius.
Separate the wire by at least 2 meters from a metallic gate or one meter from a metallic fence.
Do not install the antenna wire near an electrical cable, telephone cable, television cable or satellite dishes.
In order to prevent any interference, do not run the wire within 3 meters or parallel to electrical cables. If you must
cross electrical wires, telephone wires or television cables, do so at 90 degree angles.
If you need more than 100 m of antenna wire, you must connect the different lengths of wire using the supplied
connectors (the wire does not need to be stripped). You can purchase additional wire and connectors from your
supplier at any time.
To ensure your dog does not receive any warning or stimulation in certain areas (e.g. between the transmitter in
the garage and the edge of your property) you have to twist the outward wire around the inward wire. The twists
prevent radio waves from being emitted (ref. Diagram 1).
Once the loop is completed and you are back to the transmitter, strip the two ends of the wire to connect them to
the supplied transmitter connector (connect each wire with each connector screw). Then, insert this connector into
the antenna socket located on the transmitter (ref. Diagram 2 – the connector is slanted. If you can’t insert it, turn
it 1/2 turn).

Flags
The flags are a temporary visual aid for your dog during the training process. They enable your dog to visualize the
area where he can move freely and the boundaries he must not cross.
We recommend installing the flags at the inner edge of the warning zone at short intervals. Do not place the flags
at the antenna wire.
Once your dog is familiar with the boundaries, the flags can be gradually removed.
Layout of your installation
Before starting the installation of your pet fencing system, it may be useful to draw a layout of the installation.
Once the installation is completed, note the location of the wire connectors on the layout you drew for future
reference. In case of connection default, you will find them more easily.
AUTOMATIC SYSTEM
As soon as the animal wearing a collar enters the protected area, he is warned by beep sounds.
If he continues to move forward, towards the antenna wire, the collar emits stimulations.
The antenna wire is placed on the ground, buried or raised on an existing fence.
For the system to function, the wire must form a continuous loop.
Both wires (inward and outward) must be spaced 2 meters apart.

Description
Activate/deactivate the CANIFUGUE PRO/CANIFUGUE MIX transmitter
▪Activate: connect the transmitter to the power supply by plugging the AC adapter into the power jack on the
transmitter and into a wall outlet.
Indications appear on the LCD screen, the transmitter is On.
▪Deactivate: disconnect the AC adapter from the wall outlet.
The LCD screen goes out, the transmitter is Off.
NOTE: do not connect the transmitter to the power supply before connecting the antenna wire to the antenna
socket. The wire break alarm would alert you to a connexion default (ref. § Safety features).
When you disconnect the transmitter, the boundary settings are memorized. Next time you will activate the
transmitter, the settings will be the last selected.
