Fence Radius

Key Definitions, Technology & How it Works

Key Definitions:

Roaming Area: Area between the Controller and the Trigger Zone where your dog is free to roam and play. Capable of

expanding the fence radius from 40 feet up to 400 feet.

Trigger Zone: The zone, which may be up to 13 feet wide, located at the edge of the Roaming Area that forms the fence boundary. Correction is triggered by your dog crossing into the Trigger Zone which can be set to Tone Only (auditory alarm) or static correction.

Controller: Auditory alerts and the LCD screen provide intuitive navigation for setting

up, activating and managing your fence. The Controller houses a state-of-the-art transceiver and displays the real-time distance to your dog. It will notify you if your dog breaches the fence boundary, if there is a problem with any of the system components or if the Battery life of the Collar is running low. The Controller can manage up to 2 Collars.

Havahart® Collar: The comfortable, water-proof Collar houses a rechargeable RCR123 Battery, two correction Probes and a state-of-theart radio transceiver with advanced antenna assembly. The Collar communicates continuously with the Controller to track the real-time location of your dog. The Collar can be programmed to Tone Only (auditory correction) or one of 5 different static correction levels. The default correction level is Tone Only. Use long or short Probes depending upon the thickness of your dog’s coat. The Havahart® Collar features exclusive Integrated Motion Sensor Technology, which allows the Collar to go to sleep when it is not in motion to conserve and optimize Battery life.

How it Works:

Both the Havahart® Collar and the Controller contain nanoLOC TRX 2.4 GHz transceiver chipsets that send and receive radio transmissions from their associated antenna pairs like 2-way radios. When radio signals are sent from the antennas of either component, they propagate in an omni-directional or spherical manner. The ranging process continuously Captures, filters and refines data that yields the distance between the Havahart® Collar and the Controller.

This enables the system to track the real-time location of your dog. When the user-defined fence radius distance is reached inside the Trigger Zone, the Controller sends a command to the Collar to take action and correct (tone or static — based on user settings). The correction is not constant, but cyclical. The Collar will correct your dog until one of the following two conditions is met:

1. Your dog returns back into the Roaming Area. The system then returns to normal operating mode.

2. The Collar’s Safety Time-Out Feature stops the correction cycle after 30 seconds. After the correction cycle times out, your

dog will NOT be corrected for returning to the Roaming Area. The Collar will revert to normal operating mode only

when your dog is back inside the Roaming Area. After that, the Controller will not send another correction command until your dog moves back into the Trigger Zone.

Key Definitions, Technology & How it Works

The Technology Behind the System:

The Havahart® Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence is driven by two nanoLOC TRX 2.4 GHz transceivers that have been enhanced with complex algorithms, strategic distortion filtering and modular signal amplification to deliver time-of-flight ranging technology. These enhancements comprise the core of the patent pending elements that allow the Havahart® Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence to provide an unparalleled level of technical sophistication in the wireless dog fencing industry.

Installing the Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence

Getting Started

Planning Your Wireless Fence Boundary:

The most important step in setting up your Havahart® Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence is determining the proper location to mount the Controller. Choose a location inside the home on an outer wall nearest the center of the desired circular containment area (see Factors Affecting Signal Strength on Page 25).

The following are sample layouts for your reference:

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Your Fence Boundary/ Trigger Zone should NOT be closer than 10 feet to ANY ROAD, SIDEWALK OR THOROUGHFARE FOR YOUR DOG’S SAFETY.

Setting Up the Controller

Installing & Activating the Controller:

1. Position the Controller inside your home on an outer wall

nearest the center of your desired containment area. Make sure a standard 120V AC power outlet is nearby.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Position the controller at least 3 feet away from large metal objects and major appliances as these items may reduce the size and shape of your Roaming Area (see Factors Affecting Signal Strength on Page 25).

2. Using the removable wall-mount adhesive strips (see Page 9)

or screw & wall anchor, mount the Controller on the appropriate wall, approximately 6 feet off the ground or at eye level (see Illustration A).

NOTE: It is recommended to use the removable wall mount adhesive strips in the event that you later determine the Controller is not in the correct place and it needs to be relocated. If the strips will not work on the wall of your choice and you want to get a rough idea of where the Fence Boundary/Trigger Zone will exist before you attach the Controller to the wall, find a way to keep the Controller propped upright and as close to the desired final position as possible.

3. Plug the Controller into a nearby standard electrical outlet.

NOTE: When the unit is first activated, you may receive a

“POWER FAILURE DETECTED!!!” warning. Disregard this message and Press ENTER.

4. Press “Enter”

QUICK CHECKLIST

Before you begin the installation process, be sure to check the following:

• Make sure that you have all system components ready and available.

• Insert a fully charged Battery into the Collar.

• Commit to set aside time to properly train your dog.

Flag Calculator: You should have 1 flag for every foot of your fence radius distance. If you have a 90 foot radius, you will need 90 flags to enclose your Roaming Area.
