Basic Installation Front and Back Yard This type of boundary set up is probably the easiest and
most common installation. The entire lot including your home is enclosed in the
loop. Double Strand or Twisted Wire is used for the run
from the transmitter (in Garage) to the perimeter. Using the Dual Strand Wire
produces no boundary. 100 ft.
of Dual Strand wire is included with the Innotek
IUC-5100. You may purchase it separately for use with other systems or make
your own by twisting 2 pieces of single strand boundary wire together.
Caution: Since the wire
will be deeper below ground your field width may be narrowed. We recommend you
test the system in this area to be certain the collar is receiving a signal. Basic Installation Back Yard Only
This type of boundary set up is very
easy to install. The loop is used to enclose a defined area, such as the front
or back yard. Double Loop Installation Back Yard Only
This type of boundary set up produces a double wide
field and can be fit to most yards. The double loop is used to define 3 sides
of the containment area and the house is used to define the fourth boundary.
The 2 wires should be separated by 3-8
feet depending on your field width settings.
Caution: Take care to not create a gap between the fields. We recommend you lay the wire on top of the ground and test the system prior to burying the wire. Double Loop
Installation Back Yard with Pool or Shed
This type of boundary set up produces a double wide field and can be fit to most yards. The double loop is used to define 3 sides of the containment area and the house is used to define the fourth boundary. The 2 wires should be separated by 3-8 feet depending on your field width settings. Double Strand or Twisted Wire is used for the run from the transmitter (in Garage) to the perimeter. Using the Dual Strand Wire produces no boundary. 100 ft. of Dual Strand wire is included with the Innotek IUC-5100. You may purchase it separately for use with other systems or make your own by twisting 2 pieces of single strand boundary wire together. This type of installation gives the dog access to the house. Double Loop Installation with Existing Fence
This type of boundary set up is a variation of the Double
Loop Installation. This variation is used where existing fencing defines one or
more sides of a yard. Works great if your neighbors have fences on one or more
sides of your lot. Use Double Strand wire along the boundary where you have
fencing. Gate Blocker Installation
This type of boundary set up is a variation of the Double
Loop Installation. This variation is used to block the dogs access to a gate or
other opening in a fence or other boundary. Use Double Strand wire to connect
the smaller inner loop to the boundary.
Combination Installation
Double Strand or Twisted Wire is used for the run from the transmitter (in Garage) to the perimeter as well as between his various protected zones. Using the Dual Strand Wire produces no boundary. 100 ft. of Dual Strand wire is included with the Innotek IUC-5100. You may purchase it separately for use with other systems or make your own by twisting 2 pieces of single strand boundary wire together. Using elements of the single loop as well as the double loop design he was able to define the boundaries exactly as he wanted . Flower Bed Protection
Double Strand or Twisted Wire is used for the run from the one bed to another. Using the Dual Strand Wire produces no boundary. 100 ft. of Dual Strand wire is included with the Innotek IUC-5100. You may purchase it separately for use with other systems or make your own by twisting 2 pieces of single strand boundary wire together. This type of installation gives the dog access to the house. Caution: You should avoid placing the wire too close the exterior walls of your home. The field can pass through the wall and your dog could receive stimulation indoors. We recommend you lay the wire out and test the system with the collar prior to burial. You should also check to see if the collar is activated near interior walls. If this is the case move your boundary wire further away from the wall. Take care to not create a gap between the fields. We also recommend that you block the area around the gate and not just the opening. Wireless System with Single Transmitter Transmitters must be installed indoors. Wireless System with Multiple Transmitters
![]() Multiple wireless transmitters create overlapping containment zones. Dog may pass from one zone to another without receiving a correction. Each wireless transmitter creates a circular Containment zone with up to a 90 foot radius (180 feet across). Radius is adjustable to fit your property. Additional Transmitters may be added to enlarge the containment area. Transmitters must be installed indoors. |
