Smart Dog In-ground Pet Fenc ing System HT-023
This hidden HT-023 fencing system is among the most reliable , cost-efficient pet containment
systems available today . A buried wire transmits a harmless radio signal. When you dog
approaches the boundary, the signal causes the dog's collar receiver to deliver a warning beep
first. If your dog continues closer to the boundary, the system will issue a mild shock . If your dog
continues further, the system will issue stronger shocks until your dog returns to within the
boundary your have set up. Your dog will naturally seek to avoid correction, and is content
staying within established boundaries.

SECTION 1
INST RUCTI ONS FOR SETTING UP YOUR CONTAINMENT SYSTEM
STEP 1
PREPARE A LAYOUT OF YOUR CONTAINMENT AREA
A. Des ign and Draw Diag ram
Prepare a diagram of the area you want to contain your dog . A diagram will help to avoid
unforeseen obstacles. Include the location of house , driveway, pond, garde n, swimming pool, etc.
If your neighbour has a containment system installed, mark the location of the buried wire on
your diagram.
B. Contact Utility Company
Contact your utility companies to mark any buried utility lines . Be sure to incl ude the buried lines
on your drawing because these utility lines will affect the place ment of you r wire .
C. Determ ine L oc atio n of Wall Transmitter
The transmitter can be mounted to a wall near any standard 240·volt household outlet with the
included screws . It wilt withstand freeZing temperatures, but it is not waterp roof. There fore , it is
best to locate the transmitter in an enclosed area. Install the transmitter at least three feet from
any large metal objects such as breaker boxes , water heaters, metal garage doors, or washer
andlor dryer . When insta lling the transmitter make sure the wire is not cut off or pinche d by a
window , door or garage door . When drilling holes , make sure there are no electrical wires , nails
or screws inside the area you are drilling .
D. Determine the Exit Route of Your Boundary W ire from the Transmitter to the Outside
Containment Area
Since your transmitter must be mounted in an enclosed area to protect it from the weather, give
careful consi deration on where the wire exits to the exterio r. Exis ting ope nings such as a win dow,
door or utility line hole may provide easy access to the outside . You may need to drill a hole
thro ugh the exterior wall.
STEP 2
ADD PROPOSED WIRE LOCATION TO YOUR DRAWING
Mark your diagram with the proposed location of your wire . Th is will provide an easy reference
as you install the wire. For the system to work properly , the wire must make one conti nuous loop.
The signa l is trans mitte d from one terminal of the transmi tter , through the wire and back to the
othe r terminal.
