How the system works
The Pet Containment System consists of three primary components: FENCE TRANSMITTER,
RECEIVER, and BOUNDARY WIRE (antenna).
Fence Transmitter
The Deluxe Fence Transmitter has been designed to operate with a boundary wire up to 4000 feet
or 25 acres, and plugs into any standard outlet. The transmitter produces a very low frequency radio
signal. The magnetic field it generates is carried by the boundary wire which serves as an antenna.
The range or width of the magnetic field (i.e. the distance from the boundary wire to activate the
receiver) can be adjusted from a few feet up to thirty feet by the boundary width control knob located
on the transmitter.

Receiver with Collar
The UL-275 Receiver contains electronics to detect the magnetic eld carried by the containment boundary wire,
translates them, and delivers an electrical correction. The electrical correction is delivered through two contact
probes that touch the dogʼs neck.
There are two sets of contact probes that can be used on your receiver. The longer probes should be
used on dogs with long hair.
The UL-275 Receiver is enclosed in a waterproof case and is mounted on a polypropylene collar. The
collar will t a dog with a neck size varying from 9 to 22 inches.
The UL-275 Receiver contains a LED indicator light. The light acts as a low battery light and conrms
which one of ve correction levels are set.
The receiver is equipped with memory backup. After you replace the batteries in the receiver, you
will not have to reset the correction level. The LED indicator light will ash for the correction level
last set.

Laying out the System
Basic Planning Tips:
• The boundary wire must make a continuous loop back to the transmitter.
• Make a layout that is suitable for your yard, graph paper is provided on page 7. Sample layouts
are provided below.
• Always round the corners of your boundary with the wire. Sharp corners will distort the signal.
• Use a double loop layout to contain your pet on one side of your home. Ref: Fence front yard
only below.
• When installing a double loop, the wire must be spaced three to five feet apart to avoid canceling
the signal.
• The transmitter will transmit a signal from approximately two to thirty feet on either side of the
boundary wire. Be sure to leave enough area so that your dog can move about freely within
the safe area boundaries.
Sample Layouts:
FRONT BOUNDARY ONLY FENCE FRONT YARD ONLY
BASIC LOOP WITH GARDEN
FRONT OR BACK ACCESS FRONT BOUNDARY WITH
EXISTING FENCE

7
Containment System Layout
• Be sure to mark location of splices, twisted wire, large metal objects, or underground wiring.
• Mark Location of transmitter, and note the distance set for the boundary width between the
warning beep and the correction.

8
Locate the Transmitter
• Place the transmitter INDOORS ONLY and near an
electrical outlet. The transmitter is not waterproof.
• Install the transmitter at least three feet from any
large metal objects such as breaker boxes, water heaters,
metal garage doors, or washer and/or dryer.
• Secure the transmitter to a stationary surface using
the appropriate mounting hardware. A mounting
template is located on the back cover of this manual.
• When installing the transmitter make sure the wire twists
are not cut off or pinched by a window, door or garage
door.
• Install the transmitter only in buildings that meet state and
local electrical codes, to prevent fires and electrical hazards.
• If it is necessary to drill a hole make sure there are no electrical wires, nails or screws inside the
area you are drilling.
Connecting Wire to the Transmitter
• Strip the ends of the boundary wire
approximately 1/2 inch.
• Connect the boundary wire to the boundary
wire terminals.
• Turn the Boundary Width Control to the
number 10 setting. This will set the boundary
warning zone at the maximum width. The smaller
the number setting, the more narrow the
boundary warning zone will be.
• Plug the AC power adapter into the power jack
on the transmitter and into an electrical outlet.
• The power indicator and loop connection
indicator lights should be on.
Layout the Boundary Wire
• Lay the wire along your proposed boundary. Connect it to the transmitter.
• Running wire parallel to electrical wires, telephone wires, television cables or antenna, or near satellite
dishes will result in signal interference. If you must cross, do so at 90 degree angles.
• Twisting the boundary wires will cancel the signal in a specific area. This will allow your pet to run over
this area. Current in the wires must be traveling in the opposite directions to cancel the signal. Make
at least ten twists per foot to cancel the signal in the twisted wires.

9
Splicing the Wire
If you need more than 500 feet of wire, splice the
wire together with wire nuts or shrink tubing.
Note the location of all splices on the layout you drew
for future reference. Most wire breaks occur near or
at the splices.
Begin by stripping the ends of the wires to be
spliced. Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut
and twist. Pull on the wires to make sure you have
a strong splice connection. Apply waterproofing
compound (like silicone caulk) in and around the
wire nut. After the compound dries, you may also
wrap the wires and the wire nuts with electrical
tape to prevent them from pulling loose and to
protect from moisture. If your splice or the
connection pulls loose, the entire system will fail.
Make sure of a secure connection.
Inserting the Battery Module
in the Receiver
Remove the Battery Module From the Receiver -
Remove the battery module by sliding the battery
door latch to the unlocked position. A small coin
may help. Now push, or gently pry, the tab on the
battery door to lift the module out of the receiver.
Inserting the Batteries Into
the Battery Module –
Insert (2) 3-volt lithium batteries
into the module with the positve(+)
side on the bateries. facing the
postive(+) mark on the module.
Grounding your Transmitter
Proper grounding is necessary to reduce the chance of lightning damage to your transmitter. Connect
a wire between the transmitter and a ground rod buried at least 3 ft. into the ground. You may use
an existing ground rod. Ground rods with clamps and 14 to 18 gauge wire may be obtained at most
electrical supply stores. Locate the transmitter as close as possible to the ground rod.

10
Inserting the Battery Module
Back Into the Receiver –
With the batteries placed in the battery
module, place the right end of the
battery module, at an angle, back into
the receiver.
Test the Boundary
• Turn the transmitter on. Being careful to not touch the probes, approach the boundary wire holding the
receiver at knee level. If the receiver beeps, the system is ready to be tested. If there is no beep you may have
a wire break. See the section, "Locating a Wire Break", near the end of the manual. Continue to
approach the boundary wire with the receiver around the entire layout. The recommended initial distance
between the boundary wire and the receiver is ve feet, and can be adjusted on the transmitter.
• Verify where your pet is safe within the boundary. No beeps will occur in the safe areas or over any
twisted wires.
• Refer to the "LED Function and Response "chart to verify that the receiver is in the "beep only" mode.
The receiver is pre-set to the "beep only" mode at the factory.
Burying the Wire
• Cut a trench one to three inches deep along your previously planned boundary. Burying the wire
is recommended to prevent damage to the wire or transmitter, and to avoid possible injuries from
tripping over the exposed wire.
• Be sure to maintain some slack in the wire. The wire will expand and contract with temperature
variations.
• Use a blunt tool like a wooden paint stick to push the wire into the trench. Be careful not to
damage the wire.
