PetSafe Wire Break Locator - User Manual

Model: RFA-590

ആമുഖം

The PetSafe Wire Break Locator is designed to help you easily find complete breaks in the boundary wire of any in-ground pet fence system. This device utilizes advanced technology with dual tone and light indicators to pinpoint the exact location of a wire break, allowing for quick and efficient repairs. It is important to note that this locator is specifically designed for complete wire breaks and may not detect partial breaks.

സജ്ജീകരണ നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

  1. ട്രാൻസ്മിറ്റർ തയ്യാറാക്കുക:

    Connect the locator transmitter to a power outlet using the provided adaptor. Ensure the transmitter is placed near the boundary wire connection point of your in-ground fence system.

  2. Install Grounding Stakes:

    Insert both grounding stakes into the ground approximately 10 feet apart. For optimal performance, especially in dry conditions, pour several gallons of water around each grounding stake to ensure good conductivity. Both stakes must be used to hear the two tones separately.

  3. Connect to Boundary Wire:

    Connect the transmitter to your existing in-ground fence boundary wire according to the instructions in your fence system's manual. The transmitter sends two unique tones down each side of your boundary wire.

  4. Prepare the Locator Wand:

    Insert 2 AAA batteries (not included) into the expandable locator wand. Extend the wand to a comfortable length for use.

പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

Follow these steps to locate a wire break in your in-ground fence system:

  1. സിസ്റ്റം സജീവമാക്കുക:

    Ensure the transmitter is powered on and connected to your boundary wire. Turn on the locator wand using its power button.

  2. വോളിയം ക്രമീകരിക്കുക:

    Use the adjustable volume dial on the locator wand to set a comfortable listening level for the tones.

  3. Trace the Wire:

    Walk along your boundary wire path, holding the locator wand near the ground. The locator will provide both audible tones and visual light indicators:

    • A പച്ച വെളിച്ചം indicates a continuous tone, signifying an intact wire segment.
    • A ചുവന്ന വെളിച്ചം indicates an intermittent tone, signifying a break in the wire.
  4. Locate the Break:

    As you approach a wire break, the tone and light indicators will change. The point where the continuous tone (green light) switches to an intermittent tone (red light) is the location of the wire break. Common areas for breaks include where the wire exits the house, crosses sidewalks or driveways, or is near landscaping.

Repairing Wire Breaks

Once a wire break is located, use the included repair components to fix it:

  1. Expose the Break:

    Carefully dig up the wire at the identified break point.

  2. വയറുകൾ തയ്യാറാക്കുക:

    Trim any damaged sections of the wire. If necessary, use the included 50 ft. of boundary wire to bridge larger gaps.

  3. വയറുകൾ ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുക:

    Use the included wire nuts to securely connect the broken wire ends. Ensure a tight connection to prevent future issues.

  4. Seal Connection:

    Place the wire nut connection inside one of the gel-filled capsules. The gel will provide a waterproof seal, protecting the connection from moisture and corrosion. Close the capsule securely.

  5. Test and Bury:

    After repairing, re-test the boundary wire with the locator to confirm the break is fixed. Once confirmed, bury the repaired section of the wire.
