Model CB-100W
A New Breed of Behavior SolutionsTM
PET CONTAINMENT
SYSTEM with Bark Control
Innotek’s Pet Containment System provides security for your dog and peace of mind for you. Its
humane stimulation is proven safe and effective for training dogs to stay within the boundaries you
set. This system, Model CB-100W, features Innotek’s micro-size collar receiver - our smallest ever
- along with bark-control functions. This unique, dual-purpose system is ideal for dog owners who
need a solution to two common problems at once. Although you are eager to get your system
installed and begin training your dog, please take the time to review the Installation and Training
Video, Training/Troubleshooting Guide and this manual so your installation and training can proceed
efficiently and successfully.
COMPONENTS
A. Wall-Mount Transmitter - Used to turn the
containment system on and off, control the field
width and select the stimulation level. The
transmitter is also used to recharge the collar
receiver.
B. AC Adapter - Power source for the transmitter.
C. Collar/Receiver - Consists of a rechargeable
receiver attached to a nylon collar strap.
D. Collar Receiver Probes (2 sets) - Use the
long probes for dogs with long hair and the short
probes for dogs with short hair. Special probes are
available for dogs with extra-thick coats. (Contact
the Innotek Call Center to order.)
E. Probe Wrench - (not shown) Used to tighten
probes. When changing probes, finger tighten, then
turn one additional revolution with the wrench. Do
not over-tighten.
F. Training/Troubleshooting Guide - (not
shown) A helpful guide to help you train your dog
to respect the boundary area.
G. Installation and Training Video - A step-bystep guide to installing your system and training your
dog.
H. Mounting Hardware - (not shown) Used to
attach the transmitter to the wall.
I. Test Light - Lets you check to make sure the
collar receiver is operating properly. When the leads
are attached to the collar probes and the collar is
held in the signal field, the test light should light up.
J. Boundary Wire - Used to create the containment
system boundary. Wire is available in 500 foot
spools. If more than 500 feet is needed, simply
purchase an additional boundary kit(s). Boundary
kits include wire, boundary flags and wire splices.
Note: A chart at the end of this manual provides
approximate linear footages to cover different areas
and the boundary kit model needed for your system.
K. Boundary Flags - Helpful for teaching your
dog the boundaries of the containment system.
L. Wire Splices -(not shown) Used for joining wire
ends.
M. Keychain Magnet - (not shown) Used to turn
collar on and off and change operating modes. (Any
magnet will perform this function.)
BEFORE YOUR BEGIN
Realize that because individual dogs have unique
temperaments, there is no way of knowing how your
dog will react to its introduction to the training collar.
For the safety of your dog, initial training should take
place using a long lead to keep you in complete control
over the situation. Also realize that an aggressive animal
could turn against the handler upon receiving the
stimulus. Therefore, if you feel your dog has an
aggressive behavior and/or it has a history of such
behavior, we suggest you consult a certified animal
behaviorist before using this product as a training aid.
PART I. CONTAINMENT SYSTEM
OPERATION
SECTION
1:
THE
WALL-MOUNT
TRANSMITTER
The transmitter can be mounted to any wall near a
standard 110-volt household outlet with the included
screws. The transmitter will withstand freezing
temperatures, but it is not waterproof. Therefore you
may locate it in a garage but not outdoors.
To power the transmitter, plug the AC adapter into a
standard 110-volt household outlet and connect it to
the transmitter’s power port.
Transmitter features include:
A. Lightning/Surge Protection - This helps prevent
the transmitter from damage if a power surge occurs
or if lightning hits the ground in your area. A close
lightning strike may damage the unit. Therefore we
recommend that you unplug the transmitter and
disconnect the wires during storms. Lightning strikes
are not covered under the Limited Warranty. However,
an Extended Warranty is available that covers such
damage. Contact Innotek for more information.
B. Wire Connectors - Easy-to-use, push-release wire
connectors let you instantly connect or disconnect
the boundary wire leads. Wires should be stripped
about an inch before connecting.
C. Indicator Light - Tells you the following
information.
a. Containment Mode - A continuous red light tells
you the transmitter is properly connected, both wires
are connected and the wire forms an unbroken,
continuous loop.
b. System Malfunction - No light tells you one or
more of the following: One or both wires are not
properly connected, both wires are connected but the
wire is broken or nicked at some point, or the
transmitter has malfunctioned.
Note: The transmitter light only indicates continuity.
If you have a loose splice or nicked wire, the red light
or a flickering light may still show, but you may notice
reduced or no field width. If this situation or a wire
break should occur, follow the instructions in the
Training/Troubleshooting Guide.
D. Field Width Adjustment Knob - Controls the
width of the signal field (the distance from the
boundary wire to the place where the collar receiver
is first activated). Turning the knob clockwise
increases the field width; turning it counter-clockwise
decreases it.
SECTION 2: THE COLLAR RECEIVER
A. CHARGING
1. To charge the collar receiver, place
it on top of the transmitter,
making
sure
the
transmitter’s raised
alignment pin fits into
the
receiver’s
indicator light
depression.
2.When properly
aligned,
the
transmitter’s indicator
light will blink during charging.
3. The transmitter keeps track of the
charging time. At the start of charging,
the transmitter will emit a blinking red light for 12
hours.
4. When charging is done, the transmitter light will
go out. Remove the collar receiver. The receiver’s
indicator light will be flashing yellow, indicating that
it is in the combination containment and bark control
mode. (For more information on operating modes,
see Part II.)
SECTION 3: THE CORRECTION
A. Setting the Stimulation (Correction) Level The transmitter allows three levels of correction:
Low, Medium or High. It comes from the factory
set at Medium. If you want to change the level:
1. Remove the four cover screws, range control
knob and the front cover.
2. The “jumper” near the top-center of the
transmitter (directly under the indicator light) can
be moved to the right for the Low setting or
completely removed for the High setting.
NOTE TO MULTIPLE DOG OWNERS:
Because the system is not operational while a collar
receiver is being charged using the wall-mount
transmitter, you may want to purchase a separate
charger from Innotek. You can then charge a collar
without disabling the system.
When the dog reaches the edge of the boundary
(signal field) in the yard, it will hear a prestimulation
warning tone that lasts about two seconds. If the
dog does not move back from the boundary, it will
receive a continuous correction stimulus (at the
Low, Medium or High level) until it re-enters the
“safe” part of the yard.
Note: If the transmitter is set on High, there will be
no pre-stimulation warning tone prior to the
correction.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
a. Charge the receiver 12 hours before first use.
b. Test the system once a week to make sure the
receiver is still charged. To test, walk the receiver
into the signal field with the test light attached to
the probes. Listen for the warning tone and/or
watch for the test light to flicker.
c. You can expect 30-90 days on a charge. Charge
life is affected by how much time the collar is on,
how often the dog tests the containment boundary
and how often the dog barks.
d. Every six months the receiver should be allowed
to fully discharge, then be fully recharged. To
discharge, hook up the test light to the collar
receiver probes and place the receiver in the signal
field until it is fully drained (indicated by no tone
or light).
Note: Always use the test light when draining the
collar receiver. Not using the test light can
permanently damage the receiver.
B. Special features that increase effectiveness
The system is fully operational when the collar
receiver has an adequate charge and the boundary
wire is producing a signal field. These special
features increase the system’s effectiveness:
1. Run-Through Preventer - Correction always
starts with a warning tone, followed by stimulation.
If the dog continues more than one-third of the way
through the signal field, the stimulation will
automatically rise to the High level. For example,
if the signal is emitted 12 feet from the wire and
your dog enters the signal field, this feature is
activated when the dog is eight feet from the wire.
At this point, the dog automatically receives the
High level of correction. The correction remains on
High until the dog returns to the safe part of the
yard.
2. Over-Correction Preventer - In the unlikely
event your dog becomes “trapped” in the correction
field, this feature limits the length of time it
receives the correction to 20 seconds. The system
will then shut off for 10 seconds before resuming
correction for another 20 seconds. This pattern will
alternate until your dog returns to the safe part of
the yard or the system is turned off.
SECTION 4: FITTING THE COLLAR TO YOUR
DOG
Probes
- Use short probes for short-haired dogs
- Use long probes for long-haired or thick-coated dogs
- Finger-tighten the probes, then turn one additional
revolution with the probe wrench. Do not overtighten.
Proper Fit:
The collar strap fit should be
snug, yet loose enough to allow
two fingers to fit between the
strap and dog’s neck.
For Best Results:
If the dog does not seem to be
feeling the stimulus, try moving the
receiver to another part of the neck.
This may improve the contact.
Collar Strap
- Place the collar around the dog’s neck, receiver box
on the bottom.
- Fit the strap as snugly as possible, without restricting
breathing.
- Make sure both probes contact the dog’s skin.
- Remove the collar and trim the excess, leaving 4-6
inches.
NOTE:
- Special probes are available for thick-haired dogs
- Dummy collars, which are non-operational but get
the dog used to wearing a training collar, are also
available. Contact Innotek to order.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE COLLAR
AND TRANSMITTER!
1. Always use the rubber insulators between the collar
strap and probes to provide insulation in damp
conditions.
2. If needed, a small amount of hair removal or
thinning will improve probe contact with the skin.
3. Check your dog’s neck periodically for skin
irritation.
4. Never leave the collar on your dog for more than
12 hours a day or when you are away.
5. The collar is waterproof and will not be damaged
if it gets wet. Never place the collar in the
dishwasher.
6. Always remove the collar from your dog when it
comes indoors. Keep the collar at least five feet away
from any electronic equipment to avoid accidental
discharging of the battery.
7. Do not attempt to dismantle or repair the
transmitter or receiver. They contain computerized
circuitry that should be serviced only by an
authorized expert.
8. Do not clean the transmitter with any liquid,
including water.
**EXTRA COLLARS**
Any number of collars may be added to your
system. See your dealer for a selection of extra
collars or contact the Innotek Call Center at 1800-826-5527.
SECTION 5: INSTALLING THE BOUNDARY
WIRE
Before installing the boundary wire, contact your
utility companies to mark your utility lines before
you start digging. Select the areas of your property
within which you want to contain your dog. It may
be helpful to make a diagram to help you avoid
unforeseen obstacles. (Please note the example
diagrams included at the end of this manual.)
Your system includes 500 feet of boundary wire. For
yards requiring more wire, boundary kits are
available from your dealer or Innotek. Each
boundary kit includes 500 ft. of wire, 50 training
flags and wire splices. Here are some examples of
wire coverage.
Acres
Linear Feet Needed
850
1200
1500
1700
1900
Above figures assume a rectangular layout. Actual
footage may vary. For estimates on yards larger than
5 acres, contact the Innotek Call Center.
Keep in mind that you will want at least a 6-8 ft.
signal field (3 ft. on each side of the wire) and the
dog will stay back another 2-4 ft. from the edge of
the field. Avoid making
passageways too narrow or your dog may be
hesitant to use them (i.e. along the sides of a
house).
Tools Needed - You may need the following tools
for efficient installation: Straight-edged spade,
wire cutter/stripper and flathead screwdriver. If
you plan to run the wire across concrete you will
also need a caulk gun, silicone caulking and a
circular saw with a masonry blade.
Placing the Wire For the system to work
properly, the wire
must make one
continuous loop. The
signal is transmitted
from one terminal of
the
transmitter,
through the wire, and
back to the other
terminal.
Running and twisting
the wire along itself
Out

cancels the signal. Use the twisted wire from the
transmitter out to the exterior loop wire. This
allows the dog to cross that area without
receiving a signal. To twist the wire, cut two
equal lengths and hold them side by side. Put
one end of both wires in a power drill and spin
the wires until the twists are 1"-3" apart. The
tighter the wire, the better the signal cancellation.
You can also twist the wires manually.
You do not have to bury the wire, but for
protection you probably want to bury it at least
1/2" underground. Start by digging about 3"-4"
deep where the wire first enters the ground near
the transmitter and continue around the path of
the loop wire. A 30˚-45˚ angle cut make with a
flatblade spade will be the easiest to close up
and heal.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When covering a large
area, you may wish to use a trenching machine
to cut into the ground. However, we recommend
that the wire be placed in the trench by hand. A
commercial wire-placing machine may break the
wire.
