When the Dialer Unit enters the RF Link Programming mode, the LED will alternate between the Red and Green color. 4. Upon successful RF Link of the Dialer Unit and Loop Sensor, the LED on both units will now begin a slow Green flash indicating normal operating mode. a. If more than 20 seconds elapses during the RF Link Programming process and the LED’s on both units fail to start the slow Green flash, the procedure has failed. At this point, repeat the process. 5. Power can now be removed from both units if necessary. Once the Dialer Unit and Loop Sensor are programmed, the RF Link is stored in the memory of both units. 3.2 Safe Dog Monitor Loop Sensor 3.2.1 Installation Diagram Install the Loop Sensor in close proximity to the transmitter and lightning protection device. Distance from the transmitter and battery back up is limited by the length of both Y-adapters. [Show diagram of typical system installation] 3.2.2 Mounting the Safe Dog Monitor Loop Sensor To mount the Loop Sensor to the wall, first remove the cover of the unit. To remove the cover, hold the unit in one hand, and using your thumb and index finger of your other hand, gently compress the side of the cover plate and remove it. To fasten the Loop Sensor base to the wall, you need two ¾ inch long (19mm), #8, or #10 pan-head sheet metal screws. [Show picture of Loop Sensor base, pointing out mounting holes and wire channels with call-outs] 3.2.3 Routing the Signal Field Wires The next step in the installation process is to route the signal field wires coming from the LP 4100 through the wire channels in the Loop Sensor base. [Show diagram] It is important that the wires remain in the channels when the Loop Sensor is mounted on the wall. IMPORTANT NOTE: The wire channels on the Loop Sensor are designed to accept 14 AWG wire with a jacket size of 0.045”. For smaller gauge wire, electrical tape may be required to hold the signal field wires in the wire channel. 3.2.4 Connecting AC Power Power to the Loop Sensor is supplied by the AC adapter used to power the Invisible Fence Brand transmitter. A Y-adapter included in the Safe Dog Monitor system pack (SPSDM-100) or in the Safe Dog Monitor repair kit (RK-28) is used to provide power to both the transmitter and Loop Sensor. If the Y-adapter is not used, the small Invisible Fence Brand AC adapter may be used (04-100-0020-01). [Show picture/diagram of Y-adapter being used] 3.2.5 Connecting to the Transmitter Battery Back-up If the installation uses the optional battery back-up for the containment transmitter, the Safe Dog Monitor Loop Sensor should also be connected to the 12v battery back-up.
