How the System Works

The PetSafe® In-Ground Cat Fence™ has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for cats over 2.7 kg (6 lb) and at least 6 months old. The system works by producing a radio signal from the Fence Transmitter through up to 1200 m (4000 ft) of Boundary Wire. The Boundary Wire is buried or attached to a ﬁ xed object to enclose the Pet Area. You temporarily deﬁ ne this Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training your cat. Your cat 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 cat reaches the Warning Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning tone. If your cat 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

Fence Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal through the Boundary Wire.

Pet Area: Area within the Warning Zone where your cat can roam freely.

Warning Zone: Outer edge of the Pet Area where your cat’s Receiver Collar begins to beep, warning him not to go into the

Static Correction Zone.

Static Correction Zone: Zone beyond the Warning Zone where your cat’s Receiver Collar will emit a Static Correction, signaling him to return to the Pet Area.

Boundary Width: Combination of the Warning Zone and the Static Correction Zone.

Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.

Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the level of Correction at which the Receiver Collar is set. This light also serves as a

low battery indicator.

Contact Points: Deliver the safe Static Correction when your cat moves into the Static Correction Zone.

Correction Level Button: The button to adjust the level of Static Correction your cat receives in the Static Correction Zone.

Power Socket: Where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter. The Fence Transmitter is powered by a

standard outlet.

Boundary Control Switch: Adjust according to the length of Boundary Wire used.

Ground Terminal: The terminal where the Ground Wire connects to the Fence Transmitter.

Boundary Wire Terminals: Where the Boundary Wire connects to the Fence Transmitter in order to complete a

continuous loop.

Loop Indicator Light: Indicates that the Boundary Wire makes a complete loop, enabling the signal to be transmitted.

Boundary Width Control: Adjusts the width of the Warning and Static Correction Zones. Note: Adjusting the knob does not

change the level of Static Correction on the Collar.

Step

Locate the Fence Transmitter

Place the Fence Transmitter:

• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area (1A, 1B).

• In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, basement, shed).

• Secured to a stationary surface using appropriate mounting hardware (not included). A mounting template is included in the back of this guide.

•

At least 1 m (3 ft) from large metal objects or appliances, as these items may interfere with the signal consistency (1C).

Once you have mounted the Fence Transmitter, the Boundary Wire 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 Boundary Wire is not cut off or pinched by a window, door, or garage door, as this can damage it over time.

To prevent ﬁ res and electrical hazards, install the Fence Transmitter in buildings that are in accordance with state and local electrical codes.

Lay Out the System

Basic Planning Tips

Warning: Before digging to bury the Boundary Wire of your In-Ground Cat 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

www.petsafe.net 5

them, or laying your Boundary Wire 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 Boundary Wire.

• When planning your layout, take care to exclude access to trees, sheds or other items your cat can use to jump over the Boundary. The signal from the Boundary Wire only extends the same distance vertically as horizontally. If your cat can take the Receiver Collar out of reach of the signal, he can jump the Boundary without receiving a Static Correction.

•

The Boundary Wire MUST start at the Fence Transmitter and make a continuous loop back (2A).

• Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your cat to cross over that area safely. Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal. Twist the Boundary Wire 30 times per meter (10 times per foot) to cancel the signal

• Design a layout that is suitable for your garden.

Sample layouts are provided in this section, and a grid for designing your layout is provided in the back of this guide.

• Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum of 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 cat to move about freely (e.g., along the sides of a house).

• The Receiver Collar can be activated inside the house if the Boundary Wire runs along the outside wall of the house. If this occurs, remove your cat’s Receiver Collar before bringing him inside, decrease the range using the Boundary Width Control, or consider an alternative layout.

(2A)

Sample Layouts

Sample 1: Perimeter Loop (Single Loop)

The Perimeter Loop is the most common layout. This will allow your cat to freely and safely roam your entire property (2C). It can also protect gardens and landscaping (2D).

D to E, E to A, twist the wires from A back to the Fence Transmitter. See the “Install the Boundary Wire” section

for more information on attaching the wire to a fence.

Double Loop

A Double Loop must be used when you are not establishing the Boundary Zone on all sides of your property.

When using a Double Loop, the Boundary Wire must be separated by a minimum of 1 TO 1.5 METERS

(3 TO 5 FEET) to avoid canceling the signal. Remember that a Double Loop will require twice as much wire.

Step

Position the Boundary Wire

Lay out the Boundary Wire using your planned boundary and test the system BEFORE burying the wire or attaching it to an existing fence. This will make any layout changes easier. insulation can diminish the signal strength and create a weak area where your pet can escape.

Running the Boundary Wire parallel to and within 1.5 m (5 ft) of electrical wires, neighboring containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or satellite dishes may cause an inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of these, do so at 90-degree angles (perpendicularly) (3A).

If separating the Boundary Wire by at least 3 m (10 ft) from a neighboring containment system’s wire does not reduce the inconsistent signal, contact the Customer Care Centre.

Work carefully. A nick in the wire

To Twist the Boundary Wire

Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your pet to cross over that area safely (3B). To ensure the signal is cancelled, it is recommended that you cut and splice the Boundary Wire between each twisted section. Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal. You can twist your own wire by cutting two equal lengths of Boundary Wire supplied and twisting them together. Anchor one end of the wires to something secure and insert the other end in a power drill. Pull the wire taut. The drill enables you to twist the wire quickly. Twist the Boundary Wire 30 times per metre (10 to 12 times per ft) to cancel the signal. Once you have completed your boundary layout, insert the twisted wire and insert into the transmitter.

To Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire

If you need additional Boundary Wire to expand your wire loop, you will need to splice the wires together. Note the locations of all splices for future reference. Most Boundary Wire breaks occur at splices.

Strip approximately 1 cm ( (3C). Make sure the copper Boundary Wire is not corroded. If the Boundary Wire is corroded, cut it back to expose clean copper wire.

Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut and twist the wire nut around the wires. Ensure that there is no copper exposed beyond the end of the wire nut. Tie a knot 7.5-10 cm (3-4 in) from the wire nut (3D). Ensure that the wire nut is secure on the wire splice. Once you have securely spliced the wires together, open the lid of the gel-ﬁ lled splice capsule and insert the wire nut as deeply as possible into the waterproof gel inside the capsule (3E). Snap the lid of the capsule shut (3F). For proper system performance, the splice connection must be waterproof.

If your splice pulls loose, the entire system will fail. Make sure your splice is secure. Additional gel-ﬁ lled splice capsules and wire nuts are available through the Customer Care Centre.

Connect the Wires to the Fence Transmitter

Boundary Wire

1. Run the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter through a window, under a door, through a crawl space vent, or any other appropriate available access. You can also drill a hole through your wall.

2. Strip the ends of the Boundary Wire approximately 1.3 cm (1/2").

3. Insert the Boundary Wires into the Boundary Wire Terminals on the Fence Transmitter. Make sure wires do not touch each other at the terminals.

4. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10. This will set the Warning Zone at the maximum width.

5. Plug the Power Adapter into the Power Socket and a working outlet. The Power Adapter comes with the North American plug installed and additional plugs for the UK and Europe. To change the plug:

a. Push in the tab on the Power Adapter and remove the plug by

sliding it off as shown (4B).

b. Slide the proper plug for your electrical outlet onto the Power

Adapter as shown (4C).

Ground Wire

Proper grounding, although not necessary for the system to work, will help reduce the chance of electrical surges causing damage to your Fence Transmitter and/or Power Adapter. To ground your unit, you will need a solid (not stranded) Ground Wire (14 to 18 gauge insulated copper wire) and a ground rod with clamp, which may be obtained at most electrical supply stores. Connect one end of the Ground Wire to the Ground Terminal located on the Fence Transmitter and the other end of the Ground Wire to the ground rod. The ground rod must be buried at least three feet into the ground and located as close as possible to the Fence Transmitter.

Prepare the Receiver Collar

To Insert and Remove the Battery

Note: Do not install the battery while the Receiver Collar is on your pet.

This Receiver Collar utilizes a replaceable PetSafe® battery (RFA-188). This unique battery is designed to make battery replacement easier and increase water protection.

To activate the collar, insert the battery module (5A). Using the edge of the Test Light Tool as shown, turn the battery clockwise until the vertical line on the battery is pointed to the “ON” position (5B). If the PetSafe® Receiver Collar is not going to be used on the cat immediately, leave it in the “OFF” position.

To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-clockwise using the edge of the Test Light Tool as shown (5C, 5D). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the used battery properly.

The two colour LED indicator shows good or low battery. Good battery equals 1 ﬂ ash every 60 seconds with Green LED. Low battery equals 3 ﬂ ashes every 60 seconds with the Red LED. If there are no LED lights it is time to change the battery.

To Set the Static Correction Level

Read all steps before attempting to set the Static Correction Level.

1. With the battery installed, press the Correction Level Button and release when the

Receiver Indicator Light lights red (5E).

2. The Receiver Indicator Light will emit a number of red ﬂ ashes representing the Static

Correction Level (5F).

3. Increase the Static Correction Level by pressing and releasing the Correction Level Button within 5 seconds of the previous ﬂ ashes.

The Static Correction Levels increase from 1 to 5. Pushing the Correction Level Button while the Receiver Collar is on level 5 will cause the Receiver Collar to revert to level 1. Refer to the Function and Response Table to choose the Static Correction level that best ﬁ ts your pet.

www.petsafe.net 9

The Receiver Collar is equipped to automatically increase the level of Static Correction the longer your pet remains in the Static Correction Zone, if the collar is set at level 2 or above.

The Receiver Indicator Light acts as a low battery indicator, ﬂ ashing every 60 seconds when battery replacement is required.

Over Correction Protection

In the unlikely event that your cat “freezes” in the Static Correction Zone, this feature limits the static correction duration to 30 seconds. The system locks out further static correction until the pet leaves the Static Correction Zone.

Set the Boundary Width and Test the Receiver Collar

The Boundary Control Switch on the side of the Fence Transmitter has three settings (6A). Setting B is used for most properties. The following table will indicate the setting you should use.

Amount of Wire Setting

Up to 400 m (1300 ft)

400-730 m (1300-2400 ft)

Greater than 730 m (2400 ft)

Use the Boundary Width Control knob to set the width of the Warning Zone and Static Correction Zone (6B). Set the Boundary Width as wide as possible to give your cat the widest Warning and Static Correction Zones without reducing the

Pet Area too much. We recommend a 3.7-6 m (12-20 ft) Boundary Width.

Note: The Boundary Width Control knob does not change the Static Correction Level.

To identify the Warning and Static Correction Zones, make sure the Receiver Collar battery is properly installed, the Static Correction Level is set at 2 or above, and the Test Light contacts are held to the Contact Points (6C). For best results, select a section of straight Boundary Wire that is at least 15 m (50 ft) long. Hold the Test Light tool contacts to the Contact Points (6C). Walk toward the Boundary Wire with Contact Points pointing up and holding the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck level (6D) until the Receiver Collar beeps (6E) and the Test Light Tool ﬂ ashes.

Note: The Receiver Collar is waterproof, which can make the beep hard to hear.

If the Receiver Collar does not beep at the desired range, adjust the Boundary Width Control knob to the desired setting. Turning the Boundary

B C A

6B6A

10 www.petsafe.net

Width Control knob clockwise increases the Boundary Width while turning it counterclockwise decreases it (6B). Repeat this activity as needed until the Receiver Collar beeps at the desired distance from the Boundary Wire.

The numbers on the Boundary Width Control knob indicate signal strength and are not representative of Boundary Width footage. If adjusting the Boundary Width Control knob

does not give the desired range, adjust the Boundary Control Switch to another setting to achieve your desired range. If using a Double Loop, you may need to increase the separation of the Boundary Wire to achieve desired range.

The Receiver Collar beeps as a warning tone and ticks when delivering a Static Correction. After hearing the beep, continue to walk towards the wire. The Receiver Collar should tick and the Test Light should ﬂ ash, indicating the Static Correction as you enter the Static Correction Zone (6F). A warning tone and the ﬂ ashing of the Test Light indicate that the Receiver Collar and the system are working properly. Test in a number of different areas until you are satisﬁ ed that the system is functioning properly. Next, walk all around the Pet Area to ensure there are no areas where the Receiver Collar may activate from signals coupled onto buried wires or cables. Test the collar in and around the inside of the house as well. As mentioned, cable and wires from cable TV, electrical or telephone lines may conduct pet fencing signals inside and outside the house that can activate the cat’s collar accidentally. While rare, if this occurs your Boundary Wire is probably too close to these outside lines and should be moved or modiﬁ ed as shown in Figure 3A.

If you are satisﬁ ed that your system is functioning properly, you are ready to start burying the Boundary Wire. If the Receiver Collar did not beep or the Test Light did not ﬂ ash, see the “Troubleshooting” section.

Note: The Boundary Width is broken down into 20% War ning Zone and 80% Static Correction Zone.

To Bury the Boundary Wire

Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.

1. Cut a trench 2.5-7.5 cm (1-3 in.) deep along your planned boundary.

2. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with

temperature variations.

3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the trench. Be careful not to damage the Boundary Wire insulation.

To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence

The Boundary Wire of the PetSafe® InGround Cat Fence™ can be attached to a chain link fence, split rail fence, or a wooden privacy fence. The Boundary Wire can be attached as high as needed. However, make sure the Boundary Width is set at a high enough range for your cat to receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with an existing fence at least 1m (3 ft) tall, run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the 1 to 1.5 m (3 to 5 ft) separation needed.

• Chain Link Fence (7A): Weave Boundary Wire through the links or use plastic quick ties.

• Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (7A): Use staples to attach Boundary Wire. Avoid puncturing the

insulation of the Boundary Wire.

• Double Loop with an Existing Fence: Run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom

of the fence to get the 1 to 1.5 m (3 to 5 ft) separation needed.

• Gate (Single Loop) (7B): Bury the Boundary Wire in the ground across the gate opening. Note: The signal is still

active across gateway when the gate is open, so your cat is still deterred from leaving the Pet Area.

• Gate (Double Loop) (7B): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate opening while keeping them 1 to 1.5 m

(3 to 5 ft) apart.

To Cross Hard Surfaces (driveways, sidewalks, etc.)

• Concrete Driveway or Sidewalk (7C): Place the Boundary Wire in a

convenient expansion joint or create a groove using a circular saw and masonry blade. Place the Boundary Wire in the groove and cover with an appropriate waterprooﬁ ng compound. For best results, brush away dirt or other debris before patching.

• Gravel or Dirt Driveway (7D): Place the Boundary Wire in a PVC pipe or water hose to protect the Boundary Wire before burying.

Step

Place the Boundary Flags

The Boundary Flags are visual reminders for your cat of where the Warning Zone is located.

1. Hold the Receiver Collar at your cat’s

neck height.

2. Walk towards the Warning Zone until the

Receiver Collar beeps (8A).

3. Place a Boundary Flag in the ground (8B).

4. Walk back into the Pet Area until the

beeping stops.

5. Repeat this process around the Warning

Zone until it is marked with Boundary Flags every 3 m (10 ft) or less.

Note: If you cannot hear the beep, see the Test Light Instructions in Step 6.

Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective training. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your cat’s skin on the underside of his neck.

To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the batteries are not installed in the Receiver Collar.

2. Start with your cat standing comfortably (9A).

3. Centre the Contact Points underneath your cat’s neck, touching the skin. Note: It is

sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.

4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting one

finger between the end of a Contact Point and your cat’s neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting (9B).

5. Allow your cat to wear the collar for several minutes then

recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your cat becomes more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.

6. Trim the collar as follows (9C):

a. Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with a

pen. Allow for growth if your cat is young or grows a thick winter coat.

b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your cat and cut off

the excess.

c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto your cat, seal

the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the frayed edge.

Important: For comfort, safety and effectiveness of product, please ensure the following:

• During the ﬁ rst 2 weeks of training, do not use the training device on your pet without direct supervision.

• Check the ﬁ t to prevent excessive pressure by being able to insert one ﬁ nger between the Contact Point and your pet’s skin.

• Never leave the Receiver Collar on your pet for more than 12 consecutive hours.

• Your pet must be carefully examined daily for any signs of a rash or sore.

• If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the Receiver Collar for a few days.

• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

• Your pet’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a wash cloth and mild hand soap,

then rinsed thoroughly.

CAUTION

prolonged contact against the contact points, may occur if the steps above are not followed.

The system should only be used with pets who are over 6 months of age. If your pet is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or professional trainer before use.

Training Guide

Cat Training Introduction

This training guide offers a choice of two training methods: On Lead Method and Supervised Tie Out Method. Both methods require close supervision of your cat throughout the training period. Carefully read both methods to determine which is right for you and your cat.

Be Patient With Your Cat

Important: Proper training of your cat is essential to the success of the PetSafe® In-Ground Cat Fence™. Read this section completely before beginning to train your cat. Remember that the PetSafe® In-Ground Cat Fence™ is not a solid barrier.

• Training should be fair, firm and consistent.

• Train for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Don’t try to do too much too quickly. More-frequent short sessions are better than less-frequent longer sessions.

• If your cat shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule and/or add additional days of training.

• Finish each training session with lots of praise and affection.

• Remove the Receiver Collar after each training session.

• Keep your cat on a harness attached to a lead during training sessions.

• Even if you think your cat is responding well to the training, complete the entire training. Reinforcement is important.

• Regularly check the fit of the Receiver Collar against your cat’s skin.

__________________________________________________

Preparation

Your goal is to train your cat to turn away from the Boundary Zone every time he hears the warning beep from the Receiver Collar.

During training, your cat must develop an understanding of the Boundary and that you require him to remain within it. Cats are independent creatures. In order to gain the correct response, you must always work with a kind, calm and

respectful manner. Gain your cat’s trust and you will build a mutual respect which will ultimately lead to success. It must be remembered that by their very nature cats are more agile and therefore more mobile than dogs. You

must be very aware of your training environment. If it is possible for your cat to climb on a shed or up a tree, taking the Receiver Collar out of reach of the signal from the Boundary Wire, then it is possible that he could jump the Boundary without receiving a Static Correction.

The time scale for fully training your cat can range from one to two weeks. During the training period, you should be able to detect from your cat’s response if it is time to move on to the next training phase.

14 www.petsafe.net

Receiver Collar Familiarity

Goal:

To familiarize your cat with the Receiver Collar if he has not worn one before.

Steps:

1. Fit the Receiver Collar as detailed in Step 9 of this guide, but without batteries inserted, so there is no chance of

your cat receiving a correction at this early stage.

2. Reward your cat for allowing you to put on the Receiver Collar and leave him for a short period of time (5 - 15

minutes). Gradually increase the time your cat spends wearing the Receiver Collar to an hour or more.

3. Your cat is ready to move on to Phase 1 when you observe him behaving normally (e.g., grooming, eating,

sleeping, showing affection) while wearing the Receiver Collar.

Training Guide

On-Lead Method

Phase

Days 1 thru 2 – Boundary Awareness - Warning Zone

Perform three or four training sessions per day, each lasting 10 – 15 minutes.

Important:

• Your cat MUST stay in a harness for training, to allow for any unpredictable response. The harness also gives you control to guide your cat to a “place of safety” within the Pet Area once warned or corrected by the Receiver Collar.

• If your cat attempts to leave the Pet Area, make sure he does not get past the Boundary Flags. Never let the cat past the Boundary Flags with or without the Receiver Collar on. If your cat thinks he can pass the Boundary Flags, training will take longer.

Goal:

To teach your cat to associate the beep with the position of the Warning Zone.

Steps:

1. Set the Receiver Collar to Level 1 (Tone Only).

2. Put the harness and lead on your cat. Lead him into the Pet Area and up to a chosen point by the Boundary Flags.

3. Holding the Receiver Collar near your cat’s ears, lead him into the Warning Zone.

4. As the beep sounds, urgently say “run away, run away” while pulling your cat on the harness into the Pet Area. Praise and give affection to your cat.

5. Connect the response to the beep with the Boundary Flag response by carrying a spare Boundary Flag. Produce the Boundary Flag and wave it at the point the Receiver Collar starts to beep.

6. Repeat the process at several different Boundary Flags.

7. As you repeatedly lead your cat to the Boundary Flags and the warning beep sounds, you should notice some reluctance from him, and he should try to move away.

_____________________________________________________

Phase

Days 3 thru 7 - Boundary Awareness - Static Correction Zone

Perform three or four training sessions per day, each lasting 10 – 15 minutes.

Important:

www.petsafe.net 15

Goal:

To teach your cat to associate the Static Correction with the position of the Static Correction Zone.

Steps:

1. Set the Receiver Collar to Level 2 – the lowest Static Correction level.

2. Fit the Receiver Collar as detailed in Step 9 of this guide.

3. As in Phase 1, lead your cat to the Boundary Flags, but let him move through the Warning Zone to receive the small Static Correction.

Note: You may need to remove every other ﬂ ag at this stage to encourage your cat to approach the Static Correction Zone.

4. When your cat is corrected, urgently say “run away, run away” while pulling him into the Pet Area where the beep will stop. Praise and give affection to your cat.

5. If your cat ignores the Static Correction, ﬁ rst check the Receiver Collar ﬁ t to ensure good contact with the skin and try again. If he still ignores the correction, try gradually increasing the Correction Level as detailed in Step 5 of this manual until he reacts.

6. This should complete the association with the need to move away from the Boundary. If your cat has responded well to the previous steps, it should not be necessary to purposefully make your cat experience a Static Correction more than once or twice.

__________________________________________________

Phase

Days 8 thru 14 – Unleashed Observation

Training sessions should start at 10 – 15 minutes, gradually increasing to one hour and more. Your cat is ready for this phase only when he normally avoids the Boundary Flag line. During this phase, watch your cat carefully.

Goal:

To give your cat free run of the Pet Area.

Steps:

1. Fit the Receiver Collar as detailed in Step 9 of this guide.

2. Allow your cat freedom in your property while you act as a minder.

3. Observe your cat as he approaches the Boundary and receives warning beeps and Static Corrections on his own. If he

responds by turning away from the Boundary and is not distressed, your cat is ready to move on to the ﬁ nal Phase.

__________________________________________________

Days 15 thru 30 – Extended Observation

For the ﬁ rst few weeks after training, check on your cat regularly, to ensure that all is well. Gradually reduce your checking until both of you have total freedom.

After you are satisﬁ ed your cat’s training is complete, remove every other Boundary Flag every 4 days until all ﬂ ags are removed. Save Boundary Flags for future use.

If you need to take your cat out of the Pet Area, remove the Receiver Collar and leave it in the Pet Area.

16 www.petsafe.net

Training Guide

Supervised Tie-Out Method

Goal:

To train your cat to turn towards home every time he hears the warning beep from the Receiver Collar. Training should take about one week.

Setup:

1. When training a cat, use a harness for attaching the tie-out.

2. Set the Receiver Collar to Correction Level 2 or 3 depending on the size and temperament of your cat. The higher the Correction Level, the stronger the Static Correction.

3. Cats must wear Receiver Collars much tighter than standard collars. Both Contact Points must touch the skin.

4. Purchase a 4.6-6.1 m (15-20 ft) yard tie-out from any pet store.

Steps:

1. Insert the yard anchor in the ground so the end of the tie-out reaches .3-.6 m (1-2 ft) past the Warning Zone.

2. To ensure your cat’s well being, be sure there is shade and fresh water within the radius of the tie-out.

3. Attach your cat’s harness to the tie-out.

4. Leave your cat in the tie-out area for 4 to 6 hours. Supervision is required for your cat’s safety. Your supervision will monitor whether your cat has received a correction and whether your cat is learning the system.

5. Move the tie-out to different areas of the Boundary.

6. Continue the training for 3 days. During this period, your cat will learn to recognize the warning beep and to avoid the Static Correction Zone.

Supervise your pet in the yard for several weeks. Leave the Boundary Flags in place for 3 weeks after your cat is trained. Then remove every other Boundary Flag every 4

days until they are all gone. Keep the Boundary Flags for future use. Regularly check the Receiver Collar and the ﬁ t against your cat’s skin.

Congratulations!

You have now successfully completed the training program.

Troubleshooting

Receiver Collar is not beeping or correcting.

The Receiver Collar is beeping, but my cat is not responding to the Static Correction.

The Receiver Collar has to be held on top of the Boundary Wire to activate.

The Receiver Collar activates inside the house.

I have an inconsistent signal.

• Check battery to make sure it is installed properly.

• Check that both lights are lit on the Fence Transmitter. If not, perform the “Short Loop Test.”

• Make sure that Static Correction Level is at 2 or above.

• Test the Receiver Collar with the Test Light walking toward the Boundary wire.

• If the Test Light ﬂ ashes, check the ﬁ t of the Receiver Collar.

• Trim your cat’s fur where the Contact Points touch the neck and/or switch to the longer Contact Points.

• Increase the Static Correction Level.

• Repeat training steps to reinforce training.

• Replace battery.

• Adjust Boundary Width Control knob clockwise to increase the distance from the Boundary Wire that the Receiver Collar activates. You can also adjust the Boundary Control Switch to another setting.

• If using a Double Loop, make sure Boundary Wires are separated 1 to 1.5 m (3 to 5 ft)

• If the Receiver Collar still has to be held on top of the Boundary Wire, perform the “Short Loop Test.”

• Turn the Boundary Width Control knob counterclockwise to decrease the distance from the Boundary Wire that the Receiver Collar activates.

• Make sure the Boundary Wire is not running too close to the house. The signal can transmit through the walls of your house.

• Make sure Boundary Wires are twisted from Boundary to the Fence Transmitter.

• Make sure Fence Transmitter is at least 1 m (3 ft) from large metal objects or appliances.

• Make sure all Boundary Wire turns are gradual.

• Make sure the Boundary Wire is not running parallel to and within 1.5 m (5 ft) of electrical wires, neighboring containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or satellite dishes.

Additional Information

• The Boundary Wire is buried so that it is not accidentally tripped over or cut. Use care when trimming grass or digging near the Boundary Wire to prevent damage.

• The system should only be used with healthy pets. Contact your veterinarian if you have concerns about the medical

condition of your pet (medication, pregnant, heart conditions, etc.).

• This system is not for vicious or aggressive pets. If your pet may pose a threat to others, DO NOT USE THIS SYSTEM. If you are unsure if your pet is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certiﬁ ed trainer.

• The PetSafe® In-Ground Cat Fence™ is for residential use only.

• The Static Correction will get your pet’s attention, but will not cause harm. It is designed to startle, not to punish.

• Test the Receiver Collar at least once a month to verify it is functioning properly. Check that it activates at the Boundary

Wire. Battery life depends upon how often the Receiver Collar is activated.

__________________________________________________

Short Loop Test

The Short Loop Test is a simple test to determine if each component (Fence Transmitter, Receiver Collar and Boundary Wire) is functioning properly.

1. Disconnect the Boundary Wire.

2. Cut approximately 3 m (10 ft) of unused Boundary Wire and connect it to the Boundary Wire Terminals.

3. Attach the Test Light to the Receiver Collar.

4. Spread the Boundary Wire out into a circle. Set the Boundary Control Switch to B.

5. Set the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and the Correction Level to 2 or above.

6. If the Loop Indicator Light is not lit, then your Fence Transmitter is not functioning properly. Contact the Customer

Care Centre.

7. If the Loop Indicator Light is lit, disconnect one end of the Boundary Wire from the Boundary Wire Terminal.

8. If the loop alarm does not sound, the Fence Transmitter needs to be replaced. Contact the Customer Care Centre.

9. If the loop alarm does sound, plug the Boundary Wire back into the Boundary Wire Terminal.

10. Hold the Receiver Collar next to the 3 m (10 ft) length of Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar should beep about

0.3 m (1 ft) away from the Boundary Wire. The Test Light should then ﬂ ash as you hold the Receiver Collar closer to the Boundary Wire.

11. If Receiver Collar does not beep and the Test Light does not ﬂ ash, replace the battery in the Receiver Collar. If it still

does not beep and the Test Light does not ﬂ ash, contact the Customer Care Centre.

12. If the Receiver Collar beeps, there may be a complete or partial break in the Boundary Wire. See the “To Locate a

Break in the Boundary Wire” section.

__________________________________________________

To Locate a Break in the Boundary Wire

Please follow these steps in determining where you have a break in your Boundary Wire:

1. Locate your original splice(s) and verify they have a good, solid connection.

2. Check your garden to determine any possible damage to the Boundary Wire (e.g. recent digging, aerating, rodent

burrowing, or any other noticeable disturbance in your garden next to the Boundary Wire). If you still cannot ﬁ nd the break in the Boundary Wire, follow the procedure below:

www.petsafe.net 19

1. Unplug the Fence Transmitter.

2. Connect both ends of your twisted Boundary Wire to one Boundary Wire Terminal.

3. Measure and cut a Test Wire which is half the length of your total Boundary Wire footage.

4. Connect one end of Test Wire to the other Boundary Wire Terminal.

5. Locate the halfway point of your boundary and cut the Boundary Wire.

6. Splice the other end of the Test Wire to either side of your Boundary Wire where you cut it in half.

7. Plug in the Fence Transmitter and check the Loop Indicator Light. If the Loop Indicator Light is on, you can assume the break is in the other half of the Boundary Wire.

8. If the Loop Indicator Light did not come on, you may assume there is a break in this portion of the Boundary Wire. However, there is a small chance of having

more than one break in your system. Be sure to check both halves of your entire loop.

9. Replace the damaged Boundary Wire with new Boundary Wire.

10. Reconnect the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter.

11. Check the Loop Indicator Light. If the Loop Indicator Light is on, test the system with the Receiver Collar.

Caution

The PetSafe® In-Ground Cat Fence™ is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets by Static Correction to remain in the boundary established. It is important that you reinforce training with your pet on a regular basis. Since the tolerance level to Static Correction varies from pet to pet, Radio Systems® Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the system will, in all cases, keep a pet within the established boundary. Not all pets can be trained to avoid crossing the boundary! Therefore, if you have reason to believe that your pet may pose a danger to others or harm himself if he is not kept from crossing the boundaries, you should NOT rely solely upon the PetSafe liable for any property damage, economic loss or any consequential damages, sustained as a result of any animal crossing the boundary.

Fonctionnement du système

La clôture anti-fugue In-Ground Cat Fence™ de PetSafe® est sans danger, légère et efﬁ cace pour les chats pesant plus de 2,7 kg et ayant au moins 6 mois. Le système produit un signal radio depuis l’émetteur de clôture jusqu’à 1 200 m du ﬁ l d’antenne. Le ﬁ l d’antenne est enterré ou attaché à un objet ﬁ xe pour délimiter la zone autorisée. La zone autorisée est délimitée de manière temporaire par les fanions pour disposer d’une aide visuelle lors du dressage. Votre chat porte un collier-récepteur avec des contacteurs touchant son cou. Une fois dressé, il peut alors se déplacer librement dans la zone autorisée. Lorsque le chat atteint la zone d’avertissement, le collier-récepteur envoie un signal d’avertissement. Si votre chat avance dans la zone de stimulation électrostatique, une stimulation électrostatique sans danger est envoyée par les contacteurs pour capter l’attention de l’animal jusqu’à ce qu’il retourne dans la zone autorisée.

Définitions

Émetteur de clôture : transmet le signal radio par le biais du ﬁ l d’antenne. Zone autorisée : zone se trouvant à l’intérieur de la zone d’avertissement et dans laquelle votre animal peut se déplacer librement. Zone d’avertissement : partie en marge de la zone autorisée dans laquelle le collier-récepteur émet un signal sonore pour

avertir votre animal qu’il ne doit pas aller dans la zone de stimulation électrostatique. Zone de stimulation électrostatique : partie se trouvant après la zone d’avertissement et dans laquelle le collier-récepteur

émet une stimulation électrostatique pour indiquer à votre chat qu’il faut retourner dans la zone autorisée.

Largeur du périmètre : l’ensemble de la zone d’avertissement et de la zone de stimulation électrostatique. Collier-récepteur : reçoit le signal radio du ﬁ l d’antenne. Voyant lumineux du récepteur : indique le niveau de stimulation sur lequel est réglé le collier-récepteur. Ce voyant sert

également de voyant de pile faible.

Contacteurs : envoient la stimulation électrostatique sans danger lorsque le chat entre dans la zone de stimulation électrostatique. Bouton de réglage de la stimulation : bouton permettant d’ajuster le niveau de stimulation électrostatique reçue par

le chat dans la zone de stimulation électrostatique. Prise d’alimentation : permet le raccordement de l’adaptateur à l’émetteur de clôture. L’émetteur de clôture est alimenté

par une sortie standard.

Sélecteur de longueur de ﬁ l : à régler en fonction de la longueur de ﬁ l d’antenne utilisée. Prise de terre : borne où le ﬁ l de terre est raccordé à l’émetteur de clôture. Bornes d’attache du ﬁ l d’antenne : bornes où le ﬁ l d’antenne est raccordé à l’émetteur de clôture aﬁ n de former une

boucle continue.

Voyant de boucle : indique que le ﬁ l d’antenne forme une boucle complète pour permettre la transmission du signal. Molette de réglage de la largeur du périmètre : permet de régler la largeur de la zone d’avertissement et de la zone de

stimulation électrostatique. Remarque : le réglage de la molette ne modiﬁ e pas le niveau de stimulation électrostatique sur le collier.

Étape

Positionnement de l’émetteur de clôture

Placez l’émetteur de clôture :

• dans une zone sèche, bien ventilée et à l’abri (1A, 1B).

• dans une zone où la température ne descend pas en dessous de 0° (ex. garage, cave, remise).

• sur une surface ﬁ xe à l’aide d’un matériel de montage approprié (non inclus). Un modèle de montage se trouve à l’arrière de ce guide.

•

à au moins 1 m d’objets / appareils métalliques de grande taille étant donné que ces articles peuvent interférer avec le signal (1C)

Une fois l’émetteur de clôture monté, le ﬁ l d’antenne doit sortir du bâtiment. Pour cela, il est possible de le faire passer par une fenêtre ou par un trou percé dans un mur. Avant de percer un mur, vériﬁ er qu’il n’y ait pas de câble

ou de conduit dedans. S’assurer que le ﬁ l d’antenne ne sera pas coupé ou pincé par une fenêtre ou une porte. Pour éviter tout risque d’incendie et d’électrocution, installer l’émetteur de clôture dans un bâtiment conforme aux

réglementations applicables en matière d’électricité.

Dispositions du système

Conseils de préparation

Avertissemt : Avant de creuser pour enterrer le ﬁ l d’antenne de votre In-Ground Cat Fence™, vériﬁ ez qu’aucun câble d’alimentation, de téléphone ou d’électricité n’est enfoui à proximité. De nombreux câbles souterrains sont à haute tension et il peut être dangereux (électrocution) de creuser ou de poser le ﬁ l d’antenne à proximité.

www.petsafe.net 25

Demandez à une entreprise spécialisée de marquer le passage de vos lignes souterraines. Dans la plupart des cas, ce service est gratuit. Pour plus d’informations sur l’effet que ces câbles souterrains peuvent avoir sur le fonctionnement de votre système, reportez-vous à l’étape 3 Positionnement du ﬁ l d’antenne.

• Lors de la planiﬁ cation de l’installation, pensez aux arbres, remises et autres éléments. Le signal du ﬁ l d’antenne porte seulement sur la même distance à l’horizontale qu’à la verticale. Si le collier-récepteur est hors de portée du signal, votre chat peut sauter la délimitation sans recevoir de stimulation électrostatique.

• Le ﬁ l d’antenne DOIT commencer au niveau de l’émetteur de clôture et former une boucle continue (2A).

• Torsadez le ﬁ l d’antenne pour désactiver le signal

et permettre à votre chat de passer cette zone sans avertissement. Les gaines en plastique ou en métal ne bloquent pas le signal. Torsadez le ﬁ l d’antenne 30 fois par mètre pour désactiver le signal (2A).

• Tracez un plan qui convienne à votre terrain. Des

exemples sont montrés dans cette section et une grille se trouve à l’arrière de ce guide pour vous aider à concevoir votre plan.

• Les angles doivent toujours être graduels, avec un rayon minimum d’un mètre, pour garantir l’intégrité du périmètre (2B). Ne formez pas d’angles droits car cela créerait des trous dans le périmètre.

• Évitez les passages trop étroits pour que votre chat puisse bouger librement (le long de la maison par exemple).

• Le collier-récepteur peut être activé à l’intérieur de la maison si le ﬁ l d’antenne passe le long du mur extérieur de la maison. Dans ce cas, retirez le collier-récepteur de votre animal avant qu’il n’entre dans la maison, diminuez la portée à l’aide de la molette de réglage de la largeur du périmètre ou pensez à modiﬁ er la disposition.

Exemples de dispositions d’installation

Exemple 1 : boucle de périmètre (boucle simple)

Délimitation la plus commune. Elle permet à votre chat de bouger librement et sans danger dans tout le terrain (2C). Elle peut aussi protéger les jardins, et les espaces paysagers (2D).

Boucle double

Une boucle double doit être utilisée lorsque le périmètre ne couvre pas tous les côtés de votre terrain. Avec une boucle double, le ﬁ l d’antenne doit être séparé d’au moins 1 à 1,5 m pour éviter de désactiver le signal.

Souvenez-vous qu’une boucle double nécessite deux fois plus de ﬁ l.

Exemple 2 (2E) : boucle de périmètre utilisant une clôture existante (boucle simple)

Cette délimitation vous permet d’utiliser une clôture existante et d’empêcher votre chat de sauter par-dessus ou de creuser en dessous. Cette disposition réduit la quantité de ﬁ l à enterrer. En partant de l’émetteur de clôture, faites passer le ﬁ l par A, puis de A à B, B à C, C à D, D à E, E à A, et torsadez les ﬁ ls de A jusqu’à l’émetteur de clôture. Reportez-vous à la section « Installation du ﬁ l d’antenne » pour plus d’informations sur la ﬁ xation du ﬁ l à une clôture.

Étape

Positionnement du fil d’antenne

Posez le ﬁ l d’antenne en suivant votre disposition et testez le système AVANT d’enterrer le ﬁ l ou de l’attacher à la clôture. Vous pourrez ainsi modiﬁ er votre disposition plus facilement si nécessaire. Travaillez soigneusement. Une entaille dans l’isolation du ﬁ l peut diminuer la force du signal et créer une partie affaiblie d’où votre animal pourrait s’échapper.

Le signal peut être brouillé si le ﬁ l d’antenne passe en parallèle ou à moins de 1,5 m de câbles électriques, d’autres systèmes de délimitation, de câbles téléphoniques, des câbles de télévision ou d’antenne ou de parabole. Si un croisement est nécessaire avec un des éléments ci-dessus, il doit être à 90 ° (perpendiculaire) (3A).

Si une séparation d’au moins 3 m entre le ﬁ l d’antenne et un autre système de délimitation ne parvient pas à améliorer le signal, veuillez contacter le Service clientèle.

Pour torsader le ﬁ l d’antenne

Torsadez le ﬁ l d’antenne pour désactiver le signal et permettre à votre chat de passer cette zone sans avertissement (3B). Pour être sûr que le signal est désactivé, il est recommandé de couper et d’épisser le ﬁ l d’antenne entre chaque section torsadée. Les gaines en plastique ou en métal ne bloquent pas le signal. Vous pouvez torsader votre propre ﬁ l en coupant deux longueurs égales du ﬁ l d’antenne et en les torsadant ensemble. Fixez une extrémité des ﬁ ls à quelque chose de solide et insérez l’autre extrémité dans un foret électrique. Tendez le ﬁ l. Le foret permet de torsader le ﬁ l rapidement. Torsadez le ﬁ l d’antenne 30 fois par mètre pour désactiver le signal (2A). Une fois le périmètre délimité, insérez le ﬁ l torsadé dans l’émetteur.

Pour épisser ou réparer le ﬁ l d’antenne

Si vous avez besoin de plus de ﬁ l d’antenne pour allonger la boucle, il faudra épisser les ﬁ ls. Notez l’emplacement de toutes les jonctions à titre de référence. Le ﬁ l se casse souvent au niveau des jonctions.

Dénudez environ 1 cm aux extrémités des ﬁ ls d’antenne à épisser (3C). Vériﬁ ez que le ﬁ l d’antenne en cuivre n’est pas rouillé. En cas de corrosion, coupez-le pour pouvoir dénuder une partie du ﬁ l non rouillée.

Insérez les extrémités dénudées dans le connecteur et torsadez le connecteur autour des ﬁ ls. Vériﬁ ez qu’il n’y ait pas de cuivre exposé au-delà du connecteur. Faites un nœud à 7,5-10 cm du connecteur (3D). Vériﬁ ez que le connecteur soit bien en place sur la jonction.

Une fois les ﬁ ls joints, ouvrez le capuchon de la capsule remplie de gel et insérez le connecteur le plus profondément possible dans le gel étanche (3E). Refermez le capuchon de la capsule (3F). Pour un bon fonctionnement du système, la jonction doit être étanche.

Si la jonction se défait, l’ensemble du système sera touché par le dysfonctionnement. Vériﬁ ez que la jonction soit solide. Des capsules et des connecteurs supplémentaires sont disponibles auprès de notre Service clientèle.

Fil d’antenne supplémentaire

Du ﬁ l d’antenne à enterrer supplémentaire est disponible en bobines de 150 m dans le magasin où vous avez acheté le kit ou directement à notre Service clientèle.

Remarque : Lors de l’ajout de ﬁ l d’antenne supplémentaire, ce dernier doit former une boucle continue.

Le tableau sur la droite indique la longueur approximative de ﬁ l d’antenne nécessaire pour une disposition carrée à boucle simple. La longueur varie en fonction de la quantité de ﬁ l torsadé et de la disposition. Souvenez-vous qu’une double boucle nécessite deux fois plus de ﬁ l.

Connexion des fils à l'émetteur de clôture

Fil d’antenne

1. Amenez le ﬁ l d'antenne jusqu'à l'émetteur de clôture en passant par une fenêtre, sous une porte, par une ventilation ou tout autre accès adéquat. Vous pouvez également percer un mur.

2. Dénudez les extrémités du ﬁ l d'antenne sur 1,3 cm.

3. Insérez le ﬁ l d'antenne dans les bornes d’attache du ﬁ l d’antenne sur l'émetteur de clôture. Vériﬁ ez que les ﬁ ls ne se touchent pas au niveau des bornes.

4. Mettez la molette de réglage de la largeur du périmètre sur 10. Ceci permet de régler la zone d’avertissement à la largeur maximale.

5. Branchez l'adaptateur à la prise d’alimentation. La prise pour l'Amérique du Nord est installée par défaut sur l'adaptateur, qui est également livré avec les prises européenne et britannique. Pour changer la prise :

a. Poussez la languette sur l'adaptateur et retirez la prise en la faisant

glisser comme indiqué (4B).

b. Faites glisser la prise souhaitée sur l'adaptateur, comme indiqué(4C).

Fil de terre

Même si cela n'est pas nécessaire à son fonctionnement, la mise à la terre du système réduit les risques de surtension pouvant endommager l'émetteur de clôture et l'adaptateur. Pour mettre le système à la terre, il vous faut un ﬁ l de terre plein (non toronné) (ﬁ l en cuivre isolé de calibre 14 à 18) et un piquet de mise à la terre avec une pince, que l'on trouve dans les magasins spécialisés. Connectez une extrémité du ﬁ l de terre à la prise de terre située sur l'émetteur de clôture et l'autre extrémité au piquet de mise à la terre. Le piquet de mise à la terre doit être enterré à au moins un mètre de profondeur et le plus près possible de l'émetteur de clôture.

Préparation du collier-récepteur

Insertion et retrait de la pile

Remarque : N’installez pas la pile lorsque le collier-récepteur est sur votre chat.

Ce collier-récepteur utilise une pile remplaçable PetSafe® (RFA-188) spécialement conçue pour un remplacement plus simple et une meilleure protection contre l’eau.

Pour activer le collier, insérez la pile (5A). À l’aide du bord de la clé multifonctions (comme indiqué), tournez la pile dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre jusqu’à ce que la ligne verticale de la pile pointe en direction de la position « ON » (5B). Si vous n’utilisez pas le collier-récepteur PetSafe® immédiatement, laissez la ligne sur la position « OFF ».

Pour retirer la pile, tournez la pile dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d’une montre à l’aide du bord de la clé multifonctions (5C, 5D). N’essayez PAS de couper ni d’ouvrir la pile. Veillez à respecter la réglementation sur la mise au rebut des piles usagées.

Des piles de rechange PetSafe® sont disponibles chez de nombreux

revendeurs. Visitez notre site www.petsafe.net pour trouver un revendeur près de chez vous ou consulter la liste des numéros de téléphone de notre Service clientèle.

Voyant lumineux bicoloure

Le voyant bicoloure indique l’état de la pile. Un clignotement vert toutes les 60 secondes indique que la pile est bonne. Un clignotement vert toutes les 60 secondes indiquent que la pile est bonne. Si le voyant ne s’allume pas du tout, il est temps de changer la pile.

Réglage du niveau de stimulation électrostatique

Veuillez lire toutes les étapes avant de régler le niveau stimulation électrostatique.

1. Une fois la pile installée, appuyez sur le bouton du niveau de stimulation jusqu’à ce

que le voyant lumineux du récepteur soit rouge (5E).

2. Le voyant lumineux du récepteur clignote plusieurs fois en rouge pour indiquer le

niveau de stimulation électrostatique (5F).

3. Vous pouvez augmenter le niveau stimulation électrostatique en appuyant sur le bouton de niveau de stimulation et en le relâchant dans les 5 secondes qui suivent le clignotement précédent.

Les niveaux de stimulation électrostatique vont de 1 à 5. Appuyez sur le bouton de niveau de stimulation lorsque le collier-récepteur est au niveau 5 pour le faire revenir au niveau 1. Consultez le tableau de fonctions et de réactions pour choisir le niveau de stimulation convenant le mieux à votre animal.

www.petsafe.net 29

Si le collier est réglé au niveau 2 ou à un niveau supérieur, il augmente automatiquement le niveau de stimulation en fonction du temps que votre animal reste dans la zone de stimulation électrostatique.

Le voyant lumineux du récepteur indique l’état de la pile (clignotement toutes les 60 secondes si la pile doit être remplacée).

Protection contre une stimulation excessive

Dans le cas improbable où votre chat s’immobiliserait dans la zone de stimulation électrostatique, cette protection limite la durée de stimulation à 30 secondes. Le système bloque ensuite la stimulation jusqu’à ce que l’animal sorte de la zone de stimulation électrostatique.

_________________________________________________ Réglage de la largeur du périmètre et test du collier-récepteur

Le sélecteur de longueur de ﬁ l sur le côté de l’émetteur de clôture a trois réglages (6A). Le réglage B est utilisé pour la plupart des terrains. Le tableau suivant indique quel réglage utiliser.

Quantité de ﬁ l Paramètre

Jusqu’à 400 m 400-730 m Plus de 730 m

Utilisez la molette de réglage de la largeur du périmètre pour régler la largeur de la zone d’avertissement et de la zone de stimulation électrostatique (6B). Choisissez le périmètre le plus large possible pour donner à votre chat les plus grandes zones d’avertissement et de stimulation électrostatique sans trop réduire la zone autorisée. Nous recommandons une largeur de 3,7 à 6 m.

Remarque : La molette de réglage de la largeur du périmètre ne modiﬁ e pas le niveau de stimulation électrostatique.

Pour localiser les zones d’avertissement et de stimulation électrostatique, veillez à ce que la pile du collier-récepteur soit bien installée, que le niveau de stimulation soit sur 2 ou plus et que les contacts de la clé multifonctions soient contre les contacteurs (6C). Pour des résultats optimaux, choisissez une partie où le ﬁ l d’antenne est droit sur au moins 15 m de long. Maintenez les contacts de la clé multifonctions contre les contacteurs (6C). Marchez vers le ﬁ l d’antenne en dirigeant les contacteurs vers le haut et en tenant le collier-récepteur à la hauteur du cou de l’animal (6D) jusqu’à ce que le collier sonne (6E) et que la clé multifonctions clignote.

Remarque : Le collier-récepteur est étanche, ce qui peut rendre le bip difﬁ cile à entendre.

Si le collier-récepteur ne sonne pas à l’endroit voulu, réglez la molette de réglage de la largeur du périmètre. Tournez-la
