●How the pet fencing system works
You can define your pet’s play area by installing a wire, called antenna wire, around t e aut orized perimeter. T is
wire placed on t e ground, buried or raised on an existing fence carries a radio signal from t e transmitter.
W en your pet, wearing a receiver collar, approac es t is wire, e is warned by beep sounds t at e is too close to an
area w ere e is not allowed; t en if e carries on, static stimulations will be emitted by t e collar. Your pet will ave
to leave t e unaut orized area to stop t e stimulations and beep sounds.
An unlimited number of receiver collars can be used with one transmitter: you can keep as many cats and
dogs as you wish safely in the same area.
T e CANIFUGUE SMALL pet fencing system as been designed to give you complete satisfaction wit an antenna wire
wit a maximum lengt of 400 meters (equivalent to one square ectare). If a longer antenna wire is used, t e pet
fencing system will still work, but t e warning and stimulation zones will be markedly reduced.
●Installing the pet fencing system
Transmitter
T e transmitter must be installed indoors in a dry location: t e transmitter can wit stand c anges in temperature but
will be damaged by water. Make sure t e transmitter is correctly and surely fixed (for example, screw it to a wall).
Install t e transmitter in a garage or garden s ed near an electrical outlet (220 V AC).
Antenna wire
For t e system to operate, t e wire must be connected to t e transmitter and form a continuous loop from t e
transmitter and back again. T e outward and inward wires must be spaced 2 meters apart to avoid cancelling t e
signal.
0.52 mm² or 1.5 mm² wire can be used (you can combine several wire sections).
T e wire sections recommended depending on t e lengt of t e system are as follows:
−for less t an 400 m of antenna wire: 0.52 mm²
−from 400 to 800 m of antenna wire: 1.5 mm²
From t e transmitter, unroll t e wire around t e perimeter you wis to protect. To run t e wire from your garage or
garden s ed, pass it t roug a window, door or similar.
T e wire can be placed on t e ground, buried (maximum: 10 cm deep) or fixed to a non-metallic existing fence or
wall (best eig t: your pet’s neck eig t). If you plan on burying t e wire, make sure your installation is functioning
properly before doing so. You can protect t e wire by running it t roug PVC pipe or a lengt of garden ose.
T e wire must not be taut as variations in temperature may cause it to expand or contract. In t e corners, do not
make rig t angles but prefer rounded corners wit a large radius.
Separate t e wire by at least 2 meters from a metallic gate or one meter from a metallic fence.
Do not install t e antenna wire near an electrical cable, telep one cable, television cable or satellite dis es.
In order to prevent any interference, do not run t e wire wit in 3 meters or parallel to electrical cables. If you must
cross electrical wires, telep one wires or television cables, do so at 90 degree angles.
If you need more t an 100 m of antenna wire, you must connect t e different lengt s of wire using t e supplied
connectors (t e wire does not need to be stripped). You can purc ase additional wire and connectors from your
supplier at any time.
To ensure your pet does not receive any warning or stimulation in certain free areas (e.g. between t e transmitter in
t e garage and t e edge of your property) you ave to twist t e outward wire around t e inward wire. T e twists
prevent radio waves from being emitted (ref. Diagram 4).
Once t e loop is completed and you are back to t e transmitter, strip t e two ends of t e wire to connect t em to t e
supplied transmitter connector (connect eac wire wit eac connector screw). T en, insert t is connector into t e
antenna socket located on t e transmitter (ref. Diagram 2 – t e connector is slanted. If you can’t insert it, turn it 1/2
turn).
