How the SystemWorks
The PetSafe®In-Ground Fence™has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all pets over 6 months of age and those
weighing up to 25 kg (55 lbs) with neck sizes 15-66 cm (6"-26").The system works by producing a radio signal from the
FenceTransmitter through up to 1200 m (4000 feet) of BoundaryWire.The BoundaryWire is buried or attached to a fixed
object to enclose the Pet Area.You temporarily define the Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training your pet.
Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that touch his neck, and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely in the
Pet Area.When your pet reaches theWarning Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning tone. If your pet continues into the
Static Correction Zone, a safe Static Correction will be delivered through the Contact Points to get his attention until he
returns to the Pet Area.
Key Definitions
FenceTransmitter:The device that transmits the radio signal through the BoundaryWire.
Pet Area:The area within theWarning Zone where your pet can roam freely.
Warning Zone:The outer edge of the Pet Area where your pet’s Receiver Collar begins to beep, warning him not to go into
the Static Correction Zone.
Static Correction Zone:The zone beyond theWarning Zone where your pet’s Receiver Collar will emit a Static
Correction, signaling him to return to the Pet Area.
BoundaryWidth: The combination of theWarning Zone and the Static Correction Zone.
Receiver Collar: The device that receives the radio signal from the BoundaryWire.
Correction Level Button:The button to adjust the level of Static Correction your pet receives in the Static Correction Zone.
Receiver Indicator Light:The light that indicates the level of correction at which the Receiver Collar is set.This light also
serves as a low battery indicator.
Contact Points:The contacts through which the Receiver Collar delivers the safe Static Correction when your pet moves
into the Static Correction Zone.
Power Socket:Where the Power Adapter plugs into the FenceTransmitter.The FenceTransmitter is powered by a
standard outlet.
Boundary Control Switch:The switch to adjust according to the length of BoundaryWire used.
GroundTerminal:The terminal where the GroundWire connects to the FenceTransmitter.
BoundaryWireTerminals:The terminals where the BoundaryWires connect to the FenceTransmitter in order to
complete a continuous loop.
Loop Indicator Light:The light that indicates that the BoundaryWire makes a complete loop, enabling the signal to be
transmitted.
BoundaryWidth Control:The knob that adjusts the width of theWarning and Static Correction Zones. Note:Adjusting the
knob does not change the level of Static Correction on the Receiver Collar.

Locate the FenceTransmitter
Place the FenceTransmitter:
• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area (1A, 1B).
• In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, basement, shed, closet).
• At least 1 m (3 ft) from large metal objects or appliances as these items may interfere with the signal consistency
(1C).
To mount the FenceTransmitter, screw the mounting bracket onto a stationary surface such as a wall, and slide the
FenceTransmitter onto the bracket. Once you have mounted the FenceTransmitter, the BoundaryWire 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 BoundaryWire 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 FenceTransmitter in buildings that are in accordance with state
and local electrical codes.

Lay Out the System
Basic PlanningTips
Warning: Before digging to bury the BoundaryWire of your Underground Fence®,make sure that there are no buried
power, telephone, or other electrical cables in the vicinity. Many underground cables carry high voltage and digging into
them, or laying your BoundaryWire on them, may lead to hazard from shock or electrocution. Have the local utility
company mark your underground lines. In most communities this is a free service. For information regarding how these
underground wires can affect your system’s operation, see Step 3 Position the BoundaryWire.
•The BoundaryWire MUST start
at the FenceTransmitter and make
a continuous loop back (2A).
•Design a layout that is suitable
for your property. Sample layouts
are provided in this section, and
a grid for designing your layout is
provided in the back of this guide.
• Fence planning software is available
online at www.petsafe.net/fence .
After you have planned and saved
your layout online, contact our
Customer Care Centre to review
and refine your layout.
• Twisting two sides of the
BoundaryWire cancels the signal
and allows your pet to cross over
that area safely. Plastic or metal
10 Twists/ft.
30 Twists/m
2A 2B
piping will not cancel the signal.Twist the BoundaryWire 30 times per metre (10 times per foot) to cancel the
signal (2A).
• Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum 1 m (3 ft) radius, to produce a more consistent
boundary (2B). Do not use sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in your boundary.
• Avoid making passageways too narrow for your pet to move about freely (e.g., along the sides of a house).
• The Receiver Collar can be activated inside the house if the BoundaryWire runs along the outside wall of the
house. If this occurs, remove your pet’s Receiver Collar before bringing him inside, decrease the range using
the BoundaryWidth Control knob or consider an alternative layout.
