Troubleshooting – Transmitter Box

System test using short loop

Disconnect the boundary wire and ground wire. Then, connect a 10 foot piece of wire to the terminals and spread it out in a circle. Set the boundary size switch to B (middle) position with Standard transmitter or low with deluxe transmitter.

Turn the range knob full clockwise

Power light on? If not, check fuses.
If the fuse is good, see “Return Procedure”.
Loop light on? If not, see “Return Procedure”.

Disconnect one end of the wire

Alarm beep? If not, see “Return Procedure”.

If yes, transmitter is good.

Reconnect wire, turn the range knob all the way to the right, approach boundary with receiver

Receiver beeping? If not, check batteries for proper installation and that they are still good.

If batteries are good, and installed correctly, see “Return Procedure”.

If yes, receiver is good.

Inspect wire

If the transmitter and receiver check out good on above tests but receiver does not beep on boundary wire, the wire is broken. Walk your perimeter. Some breaks may be too small to cause loop light to go out or break alarm to activate. Check your splices. See “How to locate a break in the wire” for more help.
