    Antenna wire installation Antenna wire must create an uninterrupted loop starting and ending at the transmitter unit. Before you start with the antenna wire installation it might be useful to sketch a rough map of your property showing the wire installation and places of antenna wires connection.

  • Page 13 Installation Lay the wire along your proposed boundary creating a loop. The antenna ■ wire can be placed on the ground, under the ground, on a fence or a wall in such case it is recommended to install the wire about 30 cm above the ground or as high as where the dog wears the receiver).
  • Page 14: Transmitter Unit Settings

    Tip: It is recommended to create a short testing loop (e.g. 2 m) to test the correct function of the system in places where you plan to install the antenna wire and where the receiver detected an interfering signal. Plastic boundary flags (Optional accessories) The plastic boundary flags are a temporary visual aid for your dog during training, and will be removed once your dog is familiar with the boundaries.
  • Page 15 Setting up the transmitter unit for a short or a long installation of an antenna wire. d-fence 6th SENSE - 2 generation enables you to switch over the transmitter unit power, which is generated into the antenna wire. This function allows a fine setting of warning and correction zone for a short installation (up to 400 m wire installation) and also for a long installation (above 400 m wire installation).
  • Page 16 Now you can plug in the antenna connector with an antenna loop into ■ the antenna socket transmitter unit. Zones settings The width of the warning and the correction zone can be set easily on the transmitter unit. Both zones are independent of each other making it possible to set either the warning zone or the correction zone.
  • Page 17 antenna wire about 30 cm above the ground or as high as where the dog wears the receiver. Adjust the zone setting (0 - 600) on the transmitter unit by pressing the buttons until the receiver emits stimulation impulses together with the sound signals at approximately one second intervals.
  • Page 18 Antenna wire indicator The antenna wire indicator at the left bottom corner of the screen displays the status of the antenna wire. Antenna wire is connected and uninterrupted. Antenna wire is disconnected, interrupted or transmitter unit calibration was performed by mistake while antenna wire connected.
  • Page 19: Training Method

    Training method Getting started with the electronic invisible training fence You can use the device with a six month old puppy that has already completed the basic training. It is not recommended to use the device with dogs that are not in a good physical condition (e.g. heart problems, epilepsy, etc.), pregnant or nursing bitches and dogs who have behaviour disorders.
  • Page 20 performance of the collar unit and whether or not the dog will receive the stimulation impulses. A loose collar can also result in skin irritations. The collar should be tight enough to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog‘s neck, but not so tight that it restricts your dog‘s breathing. It is possible to check the current mode of the receiver.
  • Page 21 The transmitter is not waterproof. Protect from water intrusion. ■ During the thunderstorm, disconnect the adapter from the electric ■ outlet and unplug the antenna connector. If the receiver is not in use for 3 months or more, remove the battery. ■...
  • Page 22: Troubleshooting

    Using d–fence in winter When using d–fence in winter, please keep in mind: Low humidity – causes less skin conductivity. It is necessary to provide ■ better conductivity between the contact points of the receiver and the dog‘s skin. This can be achieved by lubricating the dog’s skin in the point of contact with vaseline, baby oil, hand lotion, etc.
  • Page 23 for a given length of antenna wire installation (0,75 mm , 1 mm , 1,5 mm or 2,5 mm ), the resistance value should be maximum 2 Ω per 100 m of wire. For example, if you use three packages of wire (one package is 100 m), the electric resistance of the wire should be maximum 6 Ω.
