Layout
Make a layout that is suitable for your yard. Refer to
sample layouts under "Laying out the System"
Locating and mounting
the Fence Transmitter
Mount the fence transmitter in a dry location. A
mounting template is located on the back cover of
this manual.
Layout the Boundary Wire
Lay the boundary wire above the ground according
to your layout. Insert stripped wire ends into wire

Insert the Battery into the Receiver
Insert the module by aligning the battery module arrow with
the small arrow on the side of the case, and press the module
down into the battery compartment. Place a coin in the slot
as shown, and turn the coin clockwise until it stops. The
battery module arrow should now be aligned with the lock
symbol. 5

Testing
Turn the transmitter on. Being careful to not touch the
contact points, approach the boundary wire holding the
receiver at knee level. If the receiver beeps, the system is
ready to be tested. 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.
Burying the Wire and Placing the Flags
Cut a trench and bury the boundary wire one to
three inches deep. Use a blunt tool like a paint
stick to push the wire into the ground. Place the
ag in the ground near the boundary where the
warning beep of the receiver begins.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
The Pet Containment System consists of three primary components: FENCE TRANSMITTER,
RECEIVER, and BOUNDARY WIRE (antenna).
Fence Transmitter
The 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-250 Receiver contains electronics to detect the magnetic eld carried by the containment
boundary wire, translates them, and delivers a static correction. The static correction is delivered
through two contact points that touch the dogs neck.
There are two sets of contact points that can be used on your receiver. The longer contact points
should be used on dogs with long hair.
The UL-250 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.
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. Sample layouts are provided.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Splicing the Wire
If you need more than 500 feet of wire, splice the wire together with wire nuts.
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.
Test the Boundary
Turn the transmitter on. Being careful to not touch the contact points, 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 the Break in the Wire". 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.
Burying the Wire
Cut a trench one to three inches deep along your previously planned boundary. Burying the
