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 or 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 dog’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 fi gure 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% Warning 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 1-3 inches 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

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 the pet to receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with an existing fence
at least three feet tall, run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the
three to fi ve foot 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 three to fi ve foot separation needed.
• Gate (Single Loop) (7B) : Bury the Boundary Wire in the ground across the gate opening. Note: The signal is still
active across the gate. Your pet cannot pass through an open gate.
• Gate (Double Loop) (7B): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate opening while keeping them 3 to 5 feet apart.
