Num'axes CANICALM User Manual page 9

Start of Service
CANICALM is supplied with battery fitted.
Lift the n° 2 setting mask (Fig. 1) and turn the On/Off switch to On . After a few seconds, a
sound beep of 1.5 seconds will be emitted indicating that the collar is operating correctly.
Adjustment and positioning of the collar
The strap must be adjusted so that the electrodes are in contact with the skin of the dog.
Collar adjustment is very important:
- If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the
skin of your dog. Furthermore, it will not function correctly.
- If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
Place the collar at the centre of the dog's neck.
Choice of electrodes
Two different series of electrodes are supplied. The length of the electrodes must be
sufficient to have proper contact with the dog's skin, enabling the device to operate
correctly. The electrodes must be tightened manually (do not use a key).
Operation
At the first bark, a series of six sound beeps are emitted. If another bark is detected within
30 sec, another sound beep of 2 sec is emitted together with an impulse lasting 0.05 (or
0.2, as selected) seconds (Fig. 2) . Inhibition of any further impulses is dependant on the
absence of any barking within the next 30 seconds. The impulse function can be
inhibited using the impulses switch placed under the setting mask n° 1 (Fig. 2) . In this
case, only the sound beep will be emitted. The barking sensitivity detection setting is a
very important preliminary operation (Fig. 2) . In fact this setting determines the correct
operation of the product. It provides sure detection of any barking and helps avoid un-
necessary detection. The setting must therefore be sufficiently sensitive but not too
much.
To check collar operation, fix each wire of the test lamp under each electrodes
(unscrewing them lightly and then retightening them so as to pinch the test lamp wires)
then let a streaked object slide over the barking detection electrode (Fig. 1).
