The Collar
The lightweight comfortable collar is integrated into a fash-
ionable collar strap your dog wears. The collar administers
the warning tone and correction should your dog attempt
to leave the yard. The collar is rechargeable; place the col-
lar on the charging cradle located on top of your charger
station. The collar’ s light glows red while charging; it glows
green once charging is complete.
IUC-5100 Contain ‘N’ Train users – your collar features 2
lights. The one on the left reflects status of the system’ s in-
ground fencing, the light on the right reflects commands
from the handheld remote.
PerfectFit
™
test
When you remove the collar from the charger, the system will
run through ReadyTest
™
for about 8 seconds, and then enter
PerfectF it
™
mode (blinking amber light). You have approxi-
mately 90 seconds to fit the collar to your dog as described
below. As the unit makes successful skin contact, it will emit
a quiet but audible click. After 5 consecutive clicks, you have
positive confirmation of the correct fit.
Should you not fit the collar within 90 seconds of removal from
the charger, it will operate without the PerfectF it
™
Test.
Fitting the Collar on your Dog
The collar strap should fit snugly towards the top of your dog’s
neck with the collar electronics on the bottom of the neck.
Check that the INNOTEK® logo is
right-side up. You should be able to
get one finger between the collar
strap and your dog’s neck. The con-
tacts must make contact with the
dog's skin for proper operation. A little
hair thinning may be required.
Occasionally, check the tightness of the skin contacts to
ensure they will not be lost from the collar. Lost compo-
nents are not covered under
your warranty.
Trim excess strap along the dia-
gonal score marks. Y ou’ll want
to leave several inches of excess
strap. Note if your dog is young
and you expect him/her to grow,
you’ll want to leave extra strap
to adjust the collar fastening.
Replacement straps are available.

Over-Stimulation Prevention – In the unlikely event that your
dog “freezes” in the pet fencing field, this feature limits stimula-
tion duration to 10 seconds. The system locks out further stimu-
lation for 10 seconds before resuming stimulation for another 10
seconds. This pattern will repeat for a maximum of three c ycles,
a duration of 60 seconds.
Run-Through Prevention – This INNOTEK
®
system
includes a unique "run-through" prevention so that your
dog cannot escape the pet fencing field without activating
a strong stimulation. The collar automatically increases the
stimulation when your dog continues more than 1/3 of the
way through the pet fencing field, regardless of the trans-
mitter stimulation level setting. For example, if the signal is
detected 12 feet from the wire and your dog enters the pet
fencing field, this feature is activated when he is a pproxi-
mately 8 feet from the wire. At this point, your dog auto-
matically receives the highest level of stimulation.
The pet fencing wire must form a complete loop from the
transmitter.
Although the pet fencing wire is only buried 1 to 3-inches,
make sure you contact your utility companies to mark
underground cable and wire locations before you dig. In
most communities, marking the utility lines is a free service.
DO NOT run a wire within 10 feet or parallel to cable TV,
phone, or electrical lines. The signal can couple together,
causing inadvertent collar activation in the house and safe
parts of the yard. You can minimize interference by crossing
perpendicular to these lines. See Quick Step 1 illustration.
Depending on the system purchased, you should have
received the following components:

warning tone and receiving correction.
2. Field Size Switch – Set switch to small (SM) for
installations of 1,000 feet of wire or less.
3. Stimulation Level Switch – Select from levels Lo w,
Medium, or High, the correction level your dog will feel
after the 2-second warning tone (LOW and MED
selections only). The tone and correction occur at the
same time when level is set on HIGH.
4. Loop Wire Terminals – Spring-loaded connections
for the pet fencing wire.
5. Collar Charge Reminder T one Switch – Not required
with this system. Set to OFF.
6. Power Connection – Power for the pet fencing sys-
tem. Connect the 24-volt DC adapter plug here, and
then plug the adapter into any 110v AC outlet.
7. “24/7” Batter y Backup Monitor Switch – If power
to the system is interrupted, the ba ttery back-up will
keep the system working up to 40 hours. Install 8 AA
alkaline batteries (not included). The monitor will
sound when batteries need to be replaced. For the
safety of your dog, the battery backup monitor should
be switched to ON and kept in good working order at
all times.
8. Power – ON/OFF Switch
9. Alarm Volume – Controls the volume of wall trans-
mitter alarms. Will not silence the alarm.
10. Indicator Light and Alarm – The light on the front of the
transmitter will indicate the following conditions.
External Lightning Protector
Several systems include external lightning protection,
which helps protect the transmitter from electrical power
surges and lightning strikes near your boundary wire. A
nearby lightning strike can cause failures due to high volt-
age damaging your transmitter. Severe lightning strikes
may damage the Lightning Protection, which is designed to
be a sacrificial link in the system. This enhanced lightning
protection (LP-4100) is available for other INNOTEK
®
pet
fencing systems by calling 1-800-826-5527.
