There are actually three types of fences offered by Petsafe: in ground fencing; indoor fencing; and instant fencing, also known as Wireless fencing. In this article, we will take a closer look on at wireless fencing.
Features
The Petsafe instant fence wireless containment system is perfect for yards that are mostly flat. The receiver is waterproof and lightweight at the same time, only 2.5 ounces. It can operate on multiple collars, uses a battery module, and includes 50 training flags.
How the System Works
One can simply plug in the system’s transmitter inside the home, garage, or somewhere inconspicuous in the garden. It will emit a radio signal that will identify the containment boundary of one’s pet. A lightweight receiver will be worn by your pet, which detects the signal broadcasts by the transmitter. The receiver will receive the signal as long as your pet is within the boundary. When your dog or cat crosses the containment boundary, the transmitter gives out a warning beep. When your pet does not heed the warning beep, a correction in the form of mild shock is given. To avoid future corrections, it is recommended to train one’s pets, so they would learn their boundaries.
How to Set Up the System
After you purchase the instant fence system, an installation video comes with it, so setting up is quite easy. You can just directly plug in the transmitter to any standard 110 volt outlet. There’s no need to worry for obstructions from walls as the signal can be transmitted without delay. One can simply install it in discreet locations in the house, garage, or tool sheds. After setting up the system, you can simply adjust its range that matches your requirements.
