What Do the Controls on an Invisible Fence Transmitter Do?

The Invisible Fence transmitter allows dog owners to remotely control their pets' wandering without the use of a physical fence. Electric shocks are emitted at the discretion of the consumer to deter dogs from going outside of a designated radius field.

  1. Power Jack

    • The power jack is an electrical outlet connector for the device's accompanying 12-volt AC transformer. Once the transformer is inserted into a 110-volt AC two-prong power outlet and plugged into the transmitter's power jack, the LED indicator on the top of the device will light up green.

    Signal Field Adjustment Knob

    • The signal field adjustment knob operates the width transmitter's wireless omnidirectional signal field or the distance from the transmitter to the computerized dog collar. Turning the knob in a clockwise direction decreases the distance while turning it counter-clockwise increases the field radius, giving the dog more free rein.

    7k-10k Switch

    • The 7k-10k switch allows the dog collar to operate at either 7 or 10 kilowatts of energy. Flipping the switch to the left sets the transmitter to 7 kilowatts while flipping it to the right sets the transmitter to 10 kilowatts.
