Antenna wire
To make the system work, the wire must be connected to the transmitter and it must form
an uninterrupted wire loop of 0,75 mm
to 2,5 mm
cross section, depending on the loop

length . Unreel the wire from the transmitter round your piece of land . To take the wire out
of the garage, your house, or any other covered location where the transmitter is located,
pull it through the window, door or do it in another suitable way . The wire can be laid on
the ground, slightly buried (max . 5 cm deep), or it can be fixed to the existing fence or wall
(in this case max . up to 30 cm above the ground) . The wire must not be tight or it might
get broken due to changes in temperature .
If you need more than 100 m of the antenna wire, you must extend it with another wire of
necessary length using vampire connectors or in any other suitable and reliable way .
However, the point of connection (nor any other portion of wire) must not be left uninsu-
lated . With the vampire connectors delivered by us, it is not necessary to remove the insu-
lation from the end of the wire . If you wish your dog to pass freely across a certain location
in your piece of land where the wire must be led (e .g . between the transmitter located in
the garage and the wire installed round your piece of land), coil the outgoing wire round
the incoming one: the wires twisted round each other result in extinction of emitted waves .
Do not shape the wire at right angles, but make preferably wider curves if possible .
After you have made the loop and you are back with the other end at the transmitter,
remove insulation from both ends of the wire and fix them to the transmitter connector
using two screws .
Insert the connector in the appropriate port of the transmitter (the connector is shaped
and it can be inserted in one way only) .
Restricting targets (refer to Optional accessories)
They enable your dog to see the zone where it can freely move as well as the boundaries
it may not get over (if the wire is laid across the place where the boundary is not restricted
in a natural way, such as a hedge) . It is recommended to place the marks along the internal
edge of the acoustic warning zone, close enough to one another .
As soon as your dog is familiar with its borderline, the marks can be removed .
Before installing your d–fence system, it is useful to make a small sketch of your piece of
land and indicate the layout of your antenna wire, especially its connectors (refer to the
diagram) .
Antenna wire
By winding the outgoing wire round the incoming one the wave emissions are mutually
suppressed and the animal can freely move within this location .
