How The D-Fence Works - Dog trace d-fence 6th SENSE User Manual

How the d-fence works

The electronic invisible system d-fence consisting of the transmitter unit,
■
the antenna wire and the receiver attached to a collar worn by the dog
will help you to define the boundaries of a safe play area for your dog
(such as your garden) without the risk of escaping.
The antenna wire placed on the ground, buried or attached to an
■
existing fence, carries a signal generated by the transmitter unit. If your
dog, wearing a receiver collar, approaches the antenna wire, the receiver
starts to emit warning beep sounds (warning zone).
If the dog moves forward towards the antenna wire, the receiver emits
■
stimulation impulses together with the beep sounds (correction zone).
The width of the warning and the correction zone can be set easily on
■
the transmitter unit. Both zones have range settings from 0 to minimum
7 m.
Both zones are independent of each other making it possible to set
■
either the warning zone or the correction zone.
Your dog will quickly learn to move only in the free area inside the
■
boundaries.
To increase efficiency, it is recommended to use a visual barrier during
■
training for electronic invisible fence system until the animal has learned
the boundary.
An unlimited number of receiver collars can be used with one transmitter
■
unit. It is possible to keep as many dogs as you wish safely in the same
area.
The voltage within the antenna wire does not exceed 12V so there are
■
no risks to health and safety of persons or animals even if the antenna
wire is interrupted.
System d-fence consists of safety features, which protect your dog and
■
device when unusual situations occurs. (see Safety features on page 20)
