System Test
The system test is used to determine the cause of system
problems that have not been addressed elsewhere in
this product manual. You will need a piece of boundary
wire greater than 4.5 m long with 1 cm of insulation
removed from each end to use as a test loop wire.
Make a note of your boundary width dial setting, and
receiver collar setting before beginning the system test.
Follow the steps below to perform the system test:
1. Remove the receiver collar from your pet and make
sure it is fully charged.
2. Set the boundary control switch to B.
3. Set the receiver collar static stimulation to level 5.
4. Disconnect the twisted boundary wire from the
boundary wire terminals on the fence transmitter
by pressing the red release levers on the connector
and pulling the wires free (13).
5. Insert the two ends of the test loop wire into the
boundary wire terminals on the transmitter.
6. Turn the boundary width control knob to 10 and
then back to 5.
7. Place the test light tool contacts on the contact
points of the receiver collar. While holding the
receiver collar with the test light tool in place,
approach the wire from the outside loop 3 cm off
the ground. Make a mental note of the distance
where the receiver collar activates from the wire.
8. Turn the boundary width control knob to 10 and
repeat step 7. The distance where the receiver
collar activates should be greater than the previous result.
9. If more than one receiver collar is used on the system, repeat the above test on each collar.
10. Keep the boundary width control knob position at 10. Set the boundary control switch to A. Then approach the
loop with the receiver collar, as in step 7, and verify that the receiver collar activates.
11. Keep the boundary width control knob position at 10. This time set the boundary control switch to C. Approach
the loop with the receiver collar, as in step 7, and verify that the receiver collar activates.
12. Interpreting the results:
a. If the power light or the loop indicator light are not both lit on the fence transmitter, or the alarm is on, for any
of the above tests, check and replace the fence transmitter fuse if necessary. If replacing the fuse does not
correct the problem, there is a problem with the transmitter. Contact the Customer Care Centre.
b. If both the power and loop indicator lights are on, but the receiver collar does not activate on the test loop
wire, the receiver collar is not working. Contact the Customer Care Centre.
c. If the transmitter power and loop indicator lights are on in each of the 3 boundary control switch positions
and the receiver collar is activating at different distances on the test loop wire, the problem is most likely in the
containment boundary wire. Perform the wire break location test.
13. When the testing is complete, reconnect and verify that the boundary wire is plugged into the transmitter and the
transmitter is plugged in.
14. Return the boundary control switch and the boundary width control knob setting to the position noted earlier.
15. Repeat the boundary width testing from Step 8 until you achieve the desired boundary width between 4 m and 6 m.
