Programming Instructions for PUL-275 & PUL-275 Deluxe Ultralight and RF-275M Stubborn Dog Receivers

These receivers contain electronics to detect the magnetic field carried by the containment system boundary wire, translates them and delivers a static correction.  The static correction is delivered through two contact probes that touch the dog's neck.

There are two sets of contact probes that can be used on your receiver.  The longer probes should be used for dogs with long fur.

The receiver is enclosed in a waterproof case and is mounted on a polypropylene collar.  The collar will fit a dog with neck sizes from 9 to 22 inches.  If your dog's neck is smaller or larger than this, the receiver can be mounted on any nylon or leather collar of appropriate size.

The receivers contain an LED indicator light that acts as a low battery indicator and confirms which one of the five correction levels are set on the receiver.

The receivers have a memory back-up so when you replace the battery, you will not have to reset the correction level.  The LED indicator light will flash for the correction level last set.  IE: Three flashes indicate level 3.

Changing the correction level - The receiver is factory set at level one. The correction levels change incrementally from level one to level five.  Remove the switch cover with a small coin.  With the battery installed, press the small button on the receiver until the LED lights and then release.  The LED will then flash to show the current correction level.  To change to the next level, push the button again within five seconds of the last flash.  The button must be pressed within five seconds from the last flash to change to the next level.  After setting the correction level, replace the switch cover to protect the switch.

Receiver LED Function and Response

Testing the receiver - Attach the test light to the probes.  Walk towards the boundary wire until the test light begins to flash.  This indicates the receiver is functioning properly.  If the test light does not flash, check the battery installation and that the test light is secured under the probes.  If the test light still does not flash, check the battery for full voltage.

Placing the receiver on your dog - When placing the receiver on your dog's neck, make sure it is positioned where the two probes are touching your dog's skin.  If your dog's fur is so thick that it keeps the probes from touching the skin, you can use the longer probes and/or thin or shave the fur.  Good contact with the skin is essential.

The collar is properly positioned when you are able to get one finger between the probes and your dog's skin.

Caution - Leaving the collar on too tight and for long periods of time can cause Pressure Necrosis.  This is a condition where the skin deteriorates over time.  To prevent this, check and clean your dog's neck regularly.  If a rash appears, remove the receiver for a few days.  When replacing the receiver, make sure the probes and your dog's neck are clean.

Check the probes regularly for tightness.  Hand tighten and then turn 1/4 turn with pliers or a wrench.
