ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continuedPlanning the InstallationInstall the transmitter in a dry indoor location,near a grounded 110vAC electric outlet that offerseasy access to the outside. A garage or basement isusually the best location. If you are not sure whetheryour outlets are grounded or not, contact your electrician. To fasten the transmitter on a wall, use 3/4inch(19mm), #8 or #10 pan-head sheet metal screwsthrough the four round holes in the base of the transmitter case.that it is snug against the ground wire pin. Thentighten the screw an additional 1/4 turn.Caution: Never install a systemor any equipment, or service anyequipment, during a thunder or electricalstorm, or when a thunder stormis near your area.Note: DO NOT tighten the screwmore than a 1/4 turn when tighteningthe grounding wire screw clamp.Over tightening the screw that holds thegrounding wire pin may shear off or fracturethe EARTH ground connector and greatlyreduce the quality of the electrical connection.A sound earth ground connection is essentialand required for lightning protection andthe safety of the system.Grounding the SystemCaution: Before starting any work,you must unplug the 12vACtransformer and turn off the electric serviceat the circuit panel.Caution: Never use a transmitterwhen the EARTH ground connectoron the circuit board is partially shearedor fractured.All outdoor Invisible Fence pet containment systems are equipped with lightning surge protection,which is designed to prevent damage to the transmitter in the event of an electrical surge.If the system is properly installed and grounded,and is equipped with an Invisible Fence lightning protection device, Invisible Fence will repair or replace,at our option, any transmitter, transmitter circuitboard, transformer, or lightning protector damaged byan electrical surge for as long as the original ownerowns the system.Before you connect the signal field wire, orbackup battery, or connect the transformer to thetransmitter, you must ground the system.Grounding Instructions to an Electric OutletRemove the screw that holds the cover on thegrounded 110vAC electric outlet. Put this screwthrough the grounding wire ring terminal. Then putthe screw, with the ring terminal through the outletcover plate and screw it back into the outlet. Thegrounding wire must be on the outside of the outletcover. If the cover plate screw is plastic, replace itwith a size 6-32 x 1/2 inch oval-head metal screw.Connecting the Grounding Wireto the ICT 775 Circuit BoardPut the grounding wire pin into the square screwclamp marked EARTH on the transmitter circuitboard. Be careful not to push the pin too far throughthe connector. The grounding wire pin must nottouch any other component on the circuit board. Usea flat head screwdriver with a 1/8 inch(3.2mm) wideblade to tighten the connector screw only enough so5

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continuedIMPORTANT: During the grounding process,make sure that the screw and the threads in the outletare clean. All foreign matter such as paint, corrosion,grease, and dirt must be removed. There must be metalto metal contact of the mating threads. Also, the underside of the screw head and ring terminal must be clean.If the surfaces appear corroded, scrape, wire brush, orsand each thoroughly, or replace them.the Invisible Fence system operating if there is anelectric utility power outage. A fully charged 12vDCbattery with a 5.0Ah(Amp hours) rating will powerthe system for approximately 10 hours with the signalfield set to the maximum width. Conversely, the narrower the signal field is set, the longer the battery willcontinue to power the system.Warning: Never connect a backupbattery to a transmitter while 110vACpower is being supplied to the transmitter.Before you connect the battery make surethat the transformer is unplugged fromboth the 110v outlet and the transmitter.Caution: DO NOT make any sharpbends in the grounding wire.Grounding Instructions to a Ground FaultCircuit Interrupter, GFCI ReceptacleDefinition: A GFCI receptacle provides a function similar to a circuit breaker. When it detects aground fault in the circuit’s electric current the GFCItrips and cuts the power. A ground fault is an abnormal electrical condition which is not desirable.A backup battery should always be installed in anInvisible Fence battery box. The box is made of corrosion proof, impact resistant ABS plastic to securelyhold the battery in place. It has integral, internal reinforcing ribs that add structuralstrength and keep the battery level,and is ventilated to prevent heatbuildup.Warning: If an externalbackup battery is leftunprotected or on the flooror the ground, this may lead topremature battery failure.Install the battery box on the wallnear the transmitter. Hold the batterybox on the wall where you want tofasten it and use the round holesthrough the back edges of the box as a template tomark the wall where you will drill the holes for thefasteners.Lace a 16 inch(40.6cm)long zip tie through the twoholes in each side of the insidefront corners of thebattery box. The ziptie should form a Uinside the middle of the box.The outboard ends of thetwo battery wires, the ends thatare connected to the terminalson the battery, each have a spade quick-connect.Connect the spade quick-connect on the REDwire to the positive ( ) terminal on the 12v battery.1. Remove the outlet cover plate.2. Remove the bottom screw holding the GFCIoutlet in the junction box.3. Put the screw through the grounding wire ringterminal.4. Refasten the screw, with the ring terminal onit, to the GFCI junction box and tighten it.5. File a notch in the bottom edge of the coverplate slightly larger than the diameter of the 12 gaugegrounding wire. Bend the wire to fit in the notch andreattach the cover plate keeping the wire in the notch.Installing a Battery BackupAn external 12vDC battery connected to an ICT775 transmitter will supply the power needed to keep6

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continuedboard between the LED and the 12vAC Power Jack.The battery connector is designed so that the plugthat holds the two inboard ends of the wires that areconnected to the battery will only go into it one way,making it nearly impossible to reverse the battery wire connectionsat the transmitter.Connect the spade quick-connecton the BLACK wire to the negative(-) terminal on the 12v battery.Caution: Be careful not to reversethe RED and BLACK wires whenyou connect them to the terminals on the battery. The RED wire is positive( ) andthe BLACK wire is negative(--).There is a replaceable, 2amp fast-blow fuse onthe bottom left side of the transmitter’s circuit boardto protect the transmitter and the battery. If the wiresare accidentally crossed when they are connected tothe battery, or if the plug is connected to the transmitter incorrectly, the fuse will blow.Slide thebattery into thebattery box.The bottom ofthe batteryshould sit onthe internalreinforcing ribson the bottomof the box.When thebattery is in the battery box,cinch the zip tie tightlyaround the battery to hold thebattery securely in the box.Use 4, 3/4 inch(19mm),#10 pan-head sheet metalscrews to fasten the batterybox to the wall.After the battery box hasbeen fastened to the wall,connect the battery tothe transmitter’scircuit board.Finish the installationby feeding any loose wirebetween the transmitterand the battery box into thehole on the back edge ofthe battery box.ICT 775 transmitters have a two position headerconnector that the plug holding the two leads from thebattery is plugged into. The rectangular connector hastwo metal prongs and is labeled -- BATT . It islocated on the bottom, left of the transmitter’s circuitBatteries Recommended by Invisible Technologies,Inc., are all 12vDC, 5.0Amp hours.Approved BatteriesAll are lead-acid, 12vDC, 5.0Ah.Power Mate , PM1255;Power Sonic , PS-1252;Panasonic , LCR12V5P;Cell-Con, PN 90195Warning: Only use one of theapproved lead-acid batteries.Using a battery that is not lead-acid, ora battery with a different voltage can damageboth the transmitter and the battery.Note: The recommended 12vDClead-acid batteries have a five yearshelf life, and should be replaced,whether they have been engaged often or not,after that time.Detecting Low Voltage in the Backup BatteryAfter a 12v battery is fully charged, a microprocessor in the transmitter will automatically checkthe battery’s voltage. If the voltage of the battery7

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continueddrops between 11vDC and 9vDC, the transmitter’sBreakAlert alarm will sound. The low battery alarmwill continue until 110vAC power is restored and thebattery voltage is recharged to greater than 11vDC.The alarm is a single, one second beep that will soundonce a minute.The LED on the transmitter that is green duringnormal operation, will turn red indicating that there isa 110vAC power failure and that the system is operating on 12vDC battery backup power. The red LEDwill alternately blink ON for one second and OFF forfour seconds.A fully discharged 5.0Ah battery will take fivetimes its projected operating time to completelyrecharge. The battery will take about 50 hours to fullycharge. The transmitter automatically charges thebackup battery while the system is operating normallyon 110vAC power.Use your thumb to push back and down hard onthe white tabs located on top of the signal field wireconnector. While holding down the tabs,put one stripped end of the twisted wireinto each of the openings in the connector. Either end of the wire may be put intoeither opening. Hold the ends of the wirein the openings and release the tabs. Theends of the wire will automatically becrimped into the wire connector.Note: How long it will take the batteryto recharge to 11vDC will depend onhow low the battery’s voltage has dropped andhow wide the signal field is. The lower thevoltage is and the wider the signal field is,the longer it will take to recharge the battery.Note: You will have to apply pressureto push down the white tabs on theconnector; the connector will not break, sodo not be concerned about pushing too hard.To remove the signal field wire from the connector, push back and down on the tabs on the connectorand pull the ends of the wire out.Note: A battery will take five times itsrated operating time to fully charge.A 5.0Ah battery will take about 50 hoursto charge to full power.Note: Before you turn on the power tothe ICT 775 system be sure that theloop type selector switch is in the mode that youwill want it to be. Either the Normal position,UP, for a closed signal field wire, or the 3 Sideposition, DOWN for a three sided system.If the voltage of the battery drops too low to produce a signal field, the LED will not be lit.Connecting the Signal Field WireConnect the twisted pair ends of the signal fieldwire to the ICT 775. Strip about 1/4 inch(6.4mm) ofinsulation off each of the two ends of the twisted wire.Twist the exposed wire strands on each end of thewires together to hold the strands together. You want tomake sure that a loose strand on one end of the wiredoes not touch the other end of the wire, or or the otheropening in the wire connector, or any other componenton the transmitter’s circuit board.Connect each end of the twisted pair to the ICT775 signal field wire connector labeled LOOP.8

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continuedICT 775, 12vAC Transformer,Model 100-0018-01Only use the model 100-0018-01, 12vAC transformer to supply the power to an ICT 775 system.This transformer will supply the power necessary topower the ICT 775. Specifications:INPUT: 120vAC 60Hz 33.5WOUTPUT: 12vAC 1667mAUL/CSA CLASS 2 TransformerUL listed/CSA certifiedThe width of the signal field is set and checkedin exactly the same manner, whether for a standardsystem with a closed signal field loop, or for a 3 sidedsystem.The signal field adjustment knob is near the topof the ICT 775 circuit board, it is surrounded by thenumbers 1 to 10. Turning the signal field adjustmentknob clockwise increases the width of the signal fieldand counter clockwise decreases the width.These adjustments do notchange the correction level of thereceiver, they only change the widthof the signal field from the signalfield wire loop.Start by turning the signal fieldadjustment knob to 5, the mid range.Once again, wait up to 1 minute for the transmitter to stabilize before you check the width of the signal field with a Computer Collar receiver. TheBreakAlert may initially sound an alarm until thetransmitter stabilizes.After the transmitter has stabil i ze d, check the width of the signal fieldby holding a Computer Collar so that thereceiver is parallel to the loop wire. Hold thecollar so that the receiver is at about thesame height and on the same angle that itwill be when your pet is wearing it andwalk slowly toward the signal fieldloop wire. The receiver willsound a warning when itis at the edge ofthe signal field.Warning: The model100-0018-01 is theonly transformer authorizedby Invisible Technologies, Inc.to be used to supply the powerto an ICT 775. The use of anyother transformer may result ina malfunction of the transmitter and the ICT 775 system.When you turn on thepower to an ICT 775 transmitter, it will take the transmitter up to 1 minute to stabilize. While the transmitter is stabilizing the BreakAlert alarm will sound.After the transmitter has stabilized and the alarm hasshut off, proceed to set the width of the signal fieldIf the alarm continues to sound for more than aminute, there is a problem with the signal field wire.Caution: Always be sure to takethe Computer Collar off your petbefore setting the signal field or making anyadjustment to your Invisible Fence System.Note: A Computer Collar receiverhas a fail safe mechanism.The receiver will go through three completecycles of 10 seconds on and 10 seconds offand then shut down. It will not reactivateuntil it is taken completely out of the thesignal field, and is then brought back into it.Setting and Checking the Widthof the ICT 775 Signal FieldA signal field that is broadcasted out from thesignal field wire is what activates your pet's ComputerCollar receiver. The signal field can be set to variousdistances from a signal field wire loop depending onthe layout and size of your property, and the temperament of your dog. The average setting of the signalfield is 6 to 10 feet(1.8 to 3m) wide.Check to be sure that the transmitter is turned onand that the loop type selector switch is set to the typeof system that you have. For a standard closed systemwith a continuous signal field wire, the switch is set toNormal, the UP position. For a 3 sided system, theswitch is set to 3 Side, the DOWN position.Make small gradual adjustments with the signalfield adjustment knob and check the width of the signal field after each adjustment.After checking the width of the signal field, wait1 minute before you change the setting of the signalfield again, and 1 more minute before checking thewidth of the new signal field setting.9

You train your pet as pre s c ribed in the“I nv i s i ble Fence SafeDog Training Manual”.2. The Computer Collar is worn snugly on yourpet’s neck under the lower jaw.3. The Computer Collar is adjusted so that thereceiver’s posts are touching your pet’s skin.4. The Power Cap battery in the Computer Collarreceiver is good and is correctly installed, see“Changing the Computer Collar Receiver’s PowerCap Battery” on page 11.5. The transmitter is on, c o n n e c t e d to thesignal field wire, and producing a signal field alongthe entire signal field wire.6 . The signal field wire is intact and making acomplete circuit.The following precautions should also be taken:1. Always take the Computer Collar offyour pet before you make any adjustmentto your Invisible Fence system.2. Gradually allow your pet to become accustomed to its new Computer Collar. Take off thecollar every night during the first month and periodically thereafter. This will ensure proper fit andavoid the possibility of any irritation that the postsmay cause to your pet’s skin.3. Check the Computer Collar near your television set(s). Although the re c e iver has a decoding circ u i t , some televisions may produce acoded signal similar to the Inv i s i ble Fence signaland may cause the re c e iver to activate when it isclose to a telev i s i o n .4.
