Installation Guide
Installation can be divided into a few simple steps:
1/ Place the boundary wire where you want the barrier.
2/ Adjust the radio collar’s activation distance from this boundary wire.
3/ Train your dog to understand "I hear the warning sound & back away”.
How to Setup Your Boundary Wire
The yellow boundary wire supplied in your kit is used to establish the "no-go" area for your dog. The boundary is a single continuous piece of
wire with each end connected back to terminals on the transmitter device. Your design of this no-go area will be determined by: 1/ the size
and layout of your property, 2/ how you want to control your dog’s behaviour. The following examples show what can be achieved. Contact
Sureguard if you have an unusual or difficult design situation to solve.
Example #1 - Full Boundary
For most installations all you need is a single boundary wire
around the whole property. You can protect garden beds as
illustrated. Notice how the wires are twisted together to run
from the boundary to the inner garden bed (upper right) and
from the boundary to the transmitter device (lower left).
Twisting a pair of wires cancels the radio signal over these
wires. This works because the signal is flowing in opposite
directions in each wire. This method allows your dog to pass
over the twisted wire.
With this simple wiring method you cannot create an opening or
eliminate the signal on the boundary.
The activation distance of the collar from the boundary wire is
mostly constant and is set inside the collar (described later).
Sometimes you may want a shorter distance in a cer tain area
(eg. narrow path between house and fence). A slight reduction
in distance is achieved by raising the wire to the top of the fence.
Example #2 - Single Boundary
This design forms a barrier on one boundary line only. Set the
distance inside the collar to maximum (described later). In the
illustration the wire forms a long rectangle separated by 20cm
to 200cm. The wider the separation, the greater the activation
distance.
Example #3 - Customized Boundary
Use a doubled wire to customize the no-go areas and solve
almost any containment situation. A doubled wire design may
be necessary to: 1/ eliminate the signal in certain areas (eg.
Kennel already fixed in place at a boundary), 2/ vary the
activation distance with location (eg. To accommodate narrow
passages, or house located close to wire).
In this example, the dog is contained to the rear of the property
and cannot pass the lawn areas on the left and right of the
house. All garden beds are protected. However, the twisted pair
around certain section of the fence-line do not emit any signal
(ie. perhaps the fence is already secure there).
Set the collar distance to maximum (described later). Adjust the
separation of the boundary wire to produce the desired
activation distance.
