Sistema di recinzione interrata per animali domestici PetSafe Basic: Manuale di installazione e funzionamento

1. Introduzione

The PetSafe Basic In-Ground Pet Fence System is designed to provide a safe and effective containment solution for your pet within a designated area. This system utilizes a buried wire to create a boundary, a transmitter to send a signal through the wire, and a receiver collar worn by your pet. When your pet approaches the boundary, the collar delivers a warning tone, followed by a static correction if the boundary is crossed. Proper installation and training are crucial for the system's effectiveness and your pet's safety.

3. Sistema finitoview

The PetSafe Basic In-Ground Pet Fence System operates by creating an invisible boundary around your property. The system consists of three main parts:

1. Trasmettitore: This unit plugs into a standard electrical outlet indoors and sends a harmless radio signal through the boundary wire. It features controls for boundary width and power.
2. Boundary Wire: Buried or secured above ground, this wire carries the radio signal from the transmitter, defining the pet's containment area. The included 500 feet of wire covers up to 1/3 acre, expandable to 5 acres with additional wire.
3. Collare ricevitore: Worn by your pet, this waterproof collar detects the radio signal from the boundary wire. It emits a warning tone when your pet approaches the boundary and a static correction if the pet attempts to cross it. The collar is adjustable for neck sizes 6-26 inches and suitable for dogs 8 lbs and up.

4. Installazione

4.1 Planning Your Layout

Careful planning of your boundary layout is essential for effective containment. Consider areas where your pet should be contained and areas that should be off-limits. The system allows for various configurations:

• Backyard only
• Front yard only
• Custom shapes around landscaping or pools
• Along existing physical fences

Draw a diagram of your property and mark the desired boundary. Ensure the wire forms a continuous loop back to the transmitter.

4.2 Installazione del trasmettitore

The transmitter should be installed indoors in a dry, protected area, close to a standard electrical outlet. It must be connected to the boundary wire loop. Always use the provided surge protector to safeguard against power surges and lightning strikes.

1. Mount the transmitter to a wall using appropriate hardware.
2. Connect the boundary wire ends to the transmitter's terminals.
3. Plug the transmitter's power adapter into the surge protector, then plug the surge protector into a grounded electrical outlet.

4.3 Installazione del filo perimetrale

The boundary wire can be buried or secured above ground. Burying the wire is recommended for durability and aesthetics.

• Burying: Dig a shallow trench (1-3 inches deep) along your planned boundary. Place the wire in the trench and cover it with soil.
• Above Ground: Secure the wire to existing fences, walls, or use landscape staples to pin it to the ground. Ensure the wire is not a tripping hazard and is protected from damage.
• Giunzione: If additional wire is needed or a break occurs, use the provided waterproof gel-filled splice capsules and wire connectors to ensure a secure, weather-resistant connection.

4.4 Training Flag Placement

Place the training flags along the boundary wire, approximately 10 feet apart. These flags serve as visual cues for your pet during the initial training phase, helping them understand the invisible boundary.

5. Collar Setup and Operation

5.1 Installazione della batteria

The receiver collar uses one PetSafe RFA-67 battery. To install:

1. Twist the battery cap counter-clockwise with a coin to remove it.
2. Insert the new RFA-67 battery with the positive (+) side facing out.
3. Replace the battery cap and twist clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten.

The collar's indicator light will flash green to confirm proper battery installation. A red flashing light indicates a low battery, requiring replacement.

5.2 Montaggio del collare

Proper collar fit is crucial for consistent and effective static correction.

1. Position the collar so the contact points are centered on your pet's neck, underneath the jaw.
2. Adjust the strap to be snug, allowing only one finger to fit comfortably between the contact points and your pet's skin.
3. For long-haired pets, use the longer contact points provided to ensure proper skin contact.

5.3 Correction Levels

The Deluxe UltraLight Receiver Collar offers a tone-only mode and 4 levels of adjustable static correction. The appropriate level depends on your pet's temperament and response to training.

• Tone-Only Mode: Provides an audible warning without static correction. Useful for initial training.
• Livelli 1-4: Incrementoasing levels of static correction. Start with the lowest level and increase only if your pet does not respond.

Refer to the collar's specific instructions for adjusting correction levels, typically involving a button or dial on the collar unit.

6. Pet Training

Effective training is vital for your pet to understand and respect the boundary. A typical training program lasts about two weeks.

1. Introduction to the Boundary (Days 1-3): Walk your pet on a leash along the boundary flags. When the collar emits a warning tone, immediately guide your pet away from the boundary, praising them. Do not allow your pet to receive a static correction during this phase.
2. Correction Introduction (Days 4-7): Continue walking your pet on a leash. If your pet attempts to cross the boundary and receives a static correction, immediately pull them back into the safe zone, using a verbal command like "No!" or "Stay!" and praise them once they are back in the safe area.
3. Off-Leash Supervision (Days 8-14): Gradually introduce off-leash time within the containment area, always supervising closely. Reinforce the boundary if your pet tests it.
4. Continued Reinforcement: Periodicamente riview the boundary with your pet, especially if there are changes to the environment or if your pet's behavior changes.

Consistency and positive reinforcement are key to successful training.

7. Manutenzione

7.1 Collar Battery Replacement

The PetSafe RFA-67 battery typically lasts 1-3 months, depending on usage. Replace the battery when the collar's indicator light begins to flash red. Always use genuine PetSafe RFA-67 replacement batteries.

7.2 Wire Inspection

Periodically inspect the boundary wire for any damage, especially if your pet's collar is not activating correctly. Exposed wire can be damaged by lawn equipment, animals, or weather. Repair any breaks using the provided splice capsules and connectors to maintain system integrity.
