Three Functions Of The Safety System; Replacement Of Electrodes; Checking Your D-Fence - Dog trace d–fence Service Instructions Manual

Three functions of the safety system

1. Antenna wire cut-off
If the antenna wire is cut off (or there is a failure in connection), the transmitter will warn
you about the functional failure by intermittent beeping and the "Loop error" LED flashes
on and off .
2. Warning zone leaving
After some 20 seconds of permanent presence in the warning zone, your dog will be
warned to leave it by a few short correcting pulses .
3. Correcting zone leaving
If your dog stays motionless in the correcting zone for about 20 seconds, the system will
stop emitting the correcting pulses . The correcting cycle will be restored, after your dog
leaves this zone .

Replacement of electrodes

Before replacing the electrodes, make sure that you have correctly turned off the collar
(remove the battery from it) .
If you have a longwooled dog, use long electrodes (they are typically delivered as the
accessories to the delivery) and vice versa (for short electrodes, refer to Optional accesso-
ries) . Electrodes should be slightly tightened by hand . Do not use pliers or any other tools
to tighten the electrodes as you can cause an irreparable damage to the product .
Checking your d–fence
Checking the correct functionality
You can check any time whether your d–fence operates correctly and visualize its opera-
tion using the testing discharge lamp .
Before you are going to carry out this check, make sure that the receiving collar is
turned off (the battery is removed from it).
Connect the testing discharge lamp to the electrodes and ensure a reliable contact (you can
pull in the lamp wires under the electrodes or to make a loop round the electrodes) .
Install a battery in the collar . Connect the transmitter to the power adapter (plug the power
adapter in the mains socket outlet) and turn on the transmitter by setting the switch to "ON" .
Walk slowly towards the antenna wire . At first you should hear a warning beep and after
approaching closer to the wire, the testing discharge lamp should be lit .
In this case your unit works perfectly.
Before the testing discharge lamp is disconnected, remove the battery from the collar!
Checking the preset mode
If you need it or when the behavior of your dog is changing as it is getting used to the
d–fence, you can check the mode you set some time ago .
