CANIFUGUE: 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hismaster
has taught him, causing complaints about straying and damage 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 system is a modern and highly effective system enabling one or more dogs
to run freely within a perimeter, fenced or unfenced, which you define.

How the CANIFUGUE works
You can restrict your dog’s play area by installing a wire on the ground, buried or raised
on an existing fence, called the antenna wire. This wire carries a radio signal from the
transmitter.Whenyourdog,wearingareceivercollararoundhisneck,approachesthis
limit, he is first warned by a beep that he is too close to an area where he is not allowed;
if he carries on, a stimulation will be emitted. Your dog will have to leave the area to stop
the stimulations.
An unlimited number of receiver collars can be used with one transmitter unit: you can
keep as many dogs as you wish safely in the same area.
The CANIFUGUE has been designed to give you complete satisfaction with an antenna
wire with a maximum length of 400 metres (equivalent to one square hectare). If a longer
antenna wire is used, the CANIFUGUEwillstillwork,butthewarningand stimulation
zoneswillbemarkedlyreduced.
Installing the control system
ØThe transmitter:
- The transmitter must be installed in a weatherproof location: it can withstand changes
in temperature but will be damaged by water.
- Fix the transmitter on an interior wall near to an electrical supply (220 volts).
- Connect the transmitter to the power supply by plugging the adapter power cable into
the transmitter and connecting to the mains. (cf. Diagram No. 1)
ØThe antenna wire:
For the system to operate, the wire should be connected to the transmitter and form an
uninterrupted loop. Both wires must be spaced 2 meters apart to avoid canceling the signal.
Either a 0.75 mm2wire or a 1.5 mm2can be used, or combined, with no effect on
performance.
From the transmitter unroll the wire around the perimeter of your property. To run the cable
from your garage or garden shed, pass it through a window or a 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 (max. height: 0.50 m from the ground). The wire must not be taut as
variations in temperature may cause it to expand or contract.

Gb - 22
Separate the wire by at least 2 meters from a metallic gate and one meter from a metallic
fencing.
The wire must not be laid parallel to an electric cable. In order to prevent any interference,
the distance between the wire and the electric cable shall be at least of 3 meters.
If you need more than 100 metres of antenna wire, you must connect the different lengths
of wire using the connectors provided for the purpose (the wire does not need to be
stripped).
To ensure that your dog does not receive any stimulation in certain areas of the property
(e.g. the area between the transmitter in the garage and the wire placed around the edge
of the property) you should twist the outward cable around the inward cable: the twists
prevent waves being emitted (cf. Diagram No. 4).
You can purchase pre-twisted wire from your supplier at any time.
In corners: use a fairly wide curve rather than a right angle.
Oncetheloopiscompletedandyouarebackatthetransmitter,thetwoendsofthewire
should be stripped to connect them to the transmitter connector (2 connector screws) (cf.
Diagram No. 1).
Insert this connector into the corresponding part of the transmitter (the connector is
slanted: if you can’t insert it, turn it one half turn).
ØThe flags:
These enable the dog to see the area in which he can move freely and the boundaries he
must not cross. We recommend that the flags are placed at the inner edge of the beep
warning zone, close enough ones of the others.
Once your dog is familiar with the boundaries, the flags can be removed.
Before starting the installation of your CANIFUGUE,itmaybeusefultomake a small
sketchofyourplotandtomarkonitthelocationsoftheantennawireconnectors.

Switching On/Off
ØSwitching On:
•The transmitter
Switch the transmitter to the On position using the switch button on the left side of the
unit: a green indicator light will come on (cf. Diagram No. 1).
•The collar
Fitting the battery: Unscrew the 4 screws on the battery cover (cf. Diagram No. 2), insert
the battery (CR2) in the position indicated on the battery housing. A beep sound indicates
that the collar is switched on.
Checkthatthesealisinplaceinthegrooveofthebatterycover.
Before re-tightening the 4 screws, force the strap against the battery cover by pulling it.
Using a screwdriver, moderately tighten the 4 screws.
ØSwitching Off:
If the collar is not to be used for a long period, the battery should be removed from its
housing. If you want to take your dog off the property, you are advised to remove the
receiver collar. You can also switch the transmitter to Off and the green indicator light will
go out (cf. Diagram No. 1).
AUTOMATIC SYSTEM
As soon as the animal wearing the
collar enters the protected area,
he is warned by a beep sound. If he
continues to move forward, towards
the perimeter wire, he receives
stimulations.
The wire is placed on the ground,
buried or raised on an existing fence.
For the system to function, the wire
must form an uninterrupted loop.
Both wires must be spaced 2 meters
apart.

Adjusting the wave range
(«warning» and «stimulation» zones)
Using the transmitter, you can increase or decrease the width of the warning and
stimulation zones, depending on the configuration of your plot and how the antenna wire
is laid.
a) An initial warning zone (beep sounds)
Adjustable area from 6 metres to 0.40 m (approx.) on each side of the wire by using the central
knoblocatedonthefrontofthetransmitter.Agraduationfrom0to10helpsyoutodefinethe
width of the zone according to your needs (0 = 0.40 m; 10 = 6 m) (cf. Diagram No. 1).
b) A second, stimulation zone
Adjustable based on 3 fixed pre-set positions: approximately 1,50 metre , approximately
0,80 m and approximately 0.30 m on each side of the wire using the slider located on
the front of the transmitter unit (cf. Diagram No. 1).
NB: detection distances vary depending on the length of the wire.
c) Validate the zones
Before releasing your dog into his play area, you should physically define and evaluate the
area of your property where your dog is allowed.
First of all fix each wire of the test lamp under each of the receiver contact points,
unscrewing them slightly and then retightening them so as to pinch the test lamp wire.
Then insert the battery into the collar housing, and turn the transmitter On/Off switch to
On.Finallysettheknobonthepotentiometertoposition«10»andtheslidertoposition
« » (cf. Diagram No. 1).
- Checking the warning zone:
Stand at the centre of your animal’s play area, holding the collar by the strap at
approximately 30 cm from the ground.
Thenwalktowardstheedgeofyourpropertytowheretheantennawireislaid.
At a distance of approximately 6 metres of the wire, you should hear the beep sounds
emittedbythereceiver.Ifyouthinkthisdistanceistoolarge,gobacktothetransmitter
and change the settings. Turn the potentiometer knob to a lower level (6 or 4 for
example):thisreducesthewarningzone.Checkthisnewsettingonyourproperty.

Gb - 25
- Checking the stimulation zone:
Sameasabove:whenyouenterthestimulationzone,thetestlamplights.Ifyouthink
thisdistanceistoolarge,gobacktothetransmitter.Pushtheslidertoalowerlevel:
thiswillreducethestimulationzone.Checkthisnewsettingonyourproperty.
Important: zone width varies depending on the length of antenna wire laid out on the
property. The longer the antenna wire, the narrower the zone.
Setting stimulation intensity
The CANIFUGUE collar is equipped with 8 modes so you can adapt the level of stimulations
to the size and sensitivity of your dog.
To change the mode, the collar must be switched on (battery in its housing).
Opening the battery cover gives you access to the push button indicated by a pointer (cf.
Diagram No. 2).

Gb - 26
To activate this push button, use a pointed object such as a pencil tip.
The mode is changed by pressing and holding the push button: a number of beeps (from 1
to 8) is then emitted by the collar.
Keepthebuttonpushedintorunthroughthemodes.Releaseoncethedesiredmodeis
reached: the collar memorises the configuration you select.

operates in each mode:
NB: your CANIFUGUE has been set at Mode 4 in the factory. Before using the system,
adjust this setting according to your dog’s sensitivity.
The CANIFUGUE pet fencing system comes complete with 3 safety features:
1) Breakage of antenna wire:
If the antenna wire breaks (or the connection fails), the transmitter alerts you to this
operating fault with a beep sound.
2) Leaving the warning zone:
After 20 seconds (approx.) of continuous presence in the warning zone, your dog will be
signalled to leave the zone by the emission of a few short stimulations.
3) Leaving the stimulation zone:
If your dog remains in the stimulation zone for approximately 20 seconds, the system
stops emitting corrective stimulations. The normal functioning resumes when your dog
leaves this zone.
Replacing the battery of the collar
NUM’AXES advises to use the same type and same brand of batteries as those supplied
in your new purchased product. Other brands of batteries may not operate, or may not

Gb - 27
be completely compatible with your product.
You can purchase the suitable batteries from NUM’AXES or from your distributor.
Unscrew the 4 screws on the battery cover and remove the old battery. Insert the new
battery in the position indicated on the plastic casing. A beep sound is emitted indicating
that the collar is ready for use.
If you inadvertently put the battery in the wrong way, the collar will not emit a beep sound.
Repositionthebatteryquicklyotherwiseyoucandamagethecollar.
NB: when you change the battery, your CANIFUGUE memorises the mode previously
selected.
NB: Due to greater use during your dog’s training, your first battery may not last as long
as replacement batteries.
Changing the contact points
Before replacing the contact points, make sure that you have correctly put the collar
out of service (remove the battery from its housing).
If your dog has a long-haired coat and the short contact points fitted in the factory are
unsuitable, unscrew these contact points and replace them with the long ones supplied with
the accessories. They should be moderately tightened by hand. Do not use pliers to tighten
the contact points: this may cause irreparable damage to the product.
Checking your CANIFUGUE
ØChecking it is working properly:
YoucancheckthatyourCANIFUGUEisworkingproperlyatanytimeanddisplayhowitis
workingusingthetestlamp.
Before making this check, ensure that your collar is out of service (battery removed
from the housing).
Youcanthenplacethetestlampincontactwitheachofthecontactpoints(makealoop
around each contact points). Insert the battery into the collar. Connect the transmitter to
the power supply (power unit plugged into the mains and switch at On).
Walkuptotheantennawire.Youshouldfirsthearthewarningbeepsoundthen,asyouget
closertothewire,thetestlampshouldlightup.Yourapplianceisworkingperfectly.
Before disconnecting the test lamp, make sure you remove the battery!

Gb - 28
ØChecking the stimulation level selected:
If you need to, or as your dog’s behaviour changes as he becomes used to the
CANIFUGUE, youcancheckthemodeyouselectedsometimeago.
A short press on the push button under the battery cover enables you to activate the beep
sounds; the number of beep sounds emitted indicates the mode selected (1 to 8 beeps).
Introducing the CANIFUGUE collar
The introduction period can begin for a young dog at the age of 6 months, after completion
of basic training.
Do not put the collar on an animal in poor health (heart condition, epilepsy, etc.) or which
has behavioural problems.
Your dog will need to get used to wearing the collar: leave it on him without using it for
several days.
Take each stage slowly
Sothatyourdog quickly makes the connection between the stimulationandhisbad
behaviour, his attention must be attracted, by first warning him with the beep sounds:
«warning zone» then by the stimulation. The pennants will help him visualise the start
of the warning zone.
Encourage him with patting and stroking
Letyourdogmakehistrainingalonetostartwith.Afterthestimulation,assoonashe
learnstoobeyandturnback,heshouldbepatted;hewillunderstandmorequicklyand
his desire to obey will be increased.
When he has fully understood the connection between the stimulation and his bad
behaviour, you can get on with your own jobs, but continue to praise him at other times, to
reinforce his grasp of the «concept of obedience».

ADVICE AND INFORMATION
Getting the best results
ØAdjusting and positioning the collar:
Itisveryimportantthatthecollarisproperlyadjustedtoyourdog’sneck.Itsposition
enables straying to be detected and stimulations to be transmitted.
Thepositionofthecollararoundtheneckofthedogshouldalwaysbeinthefollowing
way: the CANIFUGUE label is visible and is not in contact with the breast of the dog.
To achieve best results from your appliance, you must ensure good contact between the
collar and your dog’s skin by careful adjustment of the strap: if the collar is too loose, it
willnotworkproperly,ifitistootightyourdogmayhavetroublebreathing.
If necessary, replace the short contact points with long ones (see section on replacing
the contact points).
ØCheck the battery of the collar:
Makesurethebatteryisworkingproperly:itsconditionaffectstheproperfunctioningofthe
collar. At temperatures below 0°C, the battery is less effective than at room temperature.
ØCheck tightness of contact points:
Beforeeachuse,makesurebothcontactpointsareproperlytightenedontheunit.
Essential requirements:
- Never lay the antenna wire near an electrical cable, telephone cable, television or
satellite aerial wire.
- During thunderstorms, disconnect the transmitter power unit from the mains and
especially unplug the antenna wire connector.
Cautions for use
•KeeptheCANIFUGUEunitoutofreachofchildren.
•Preventanywaterfrominfiltratingthecollarwhenitisopen(especiallywhenchanging
the battery), the transmitter unit or the power unit.
•Removethebatteryfromitshousingifyouarenotusingtheappliancefor3monthsor
more.
•Neverleaveanoldbatteryinthecollar:itmayleakanddamageyourCANIFUGUE.
