Testing The Receiver Collar Radio Function; Preparing Twisted Wire Lengths; Laying Out The Boundary Wire - High Tech Pet HUMANE CONTAIN HC-7000 User Manual

BATTERY BACKUP
To install the backup batteries, remove the battery cover on the right side
of the transmitter. Install two standard 9 volt batteries onto the battery
clips. Replace the battery cover.
NOTE: We recommend you replace the batteries when their voltage
drops to 8.0 VDC.
AC Adapter: Plug the 9 VDC adapter into a standard 115 Volt outlet and
connect the DC plug into the receptacle on the right of the Base Station
Transmitter.
STEP 4: Test The Receiver Collar Radio Function
You should test the receiver by installing a 24 inch long test loop of wire
across the quick connect cable terminals of the HC-7000A. Turn the power
switch ON and bring the receiver close to your test loop. A beeping sound
emitted by the receiver collar indicates the system is working properly. Note
that with such a short loop the range will only be a few inches.
STEP 5: Prepare Twisted Wire Lengths First
Prepare the twisted lengths of wire. From your system layout sketch,
determine the length required for each twisted pair. Cut two equal lengths
of wire for each required twisted pair. With the pair of wires side by side,
put one end of each wire in a power drill and spin the wires until there is
approximately one twist per inch of wire. Do not over-twist because this
could damage the wire. Repeat for each required pair.
STEP 6: Layout the Boundary Wire Above Ground
Before burying your boundary wire, we recommend that you run the
complete loop of wire, make all connections and use the receiver collar to
fully test the system with the wire above ground. Referring to the sketch you
made of your system layout, run and connect the wire loop above ground,
connect it to the Transmitter Base Station.
Installation Tip: Leave a little (about 15 inches) slack in the wire
periodically along the perimeter and at the corners of the layout so you
have a little extra wire when needed to repair a break in the boundary
wire loop. Wind the 15 inch slack into a 5 inch diameter coil and bury it
with the wire. Choose locations for the slack that are easily identified by
a terrain feature and make a map of them.
