The short loop test will stop the transmitter beeping and test it as well - if it stops beeping there will be a break in the wire somewhere on the perimeter or a bad connection.
There is a simple way to do this. Just follow the steps below:
Basically a short loop disregards the rest of the perimeter wire and âArcsâ or âBridgesâ the radio signal straight back to the transmitter to close the loop. (You should not get Zapped as this is a radio signal)
a. On your transmitter and look for the two wires coming from the perimeter to the transmitter - find where they join at the transmitter which is usually a black and red spring connectorÂ
b. Disconnect both wires from the transmitter.
c. Get a length of test wire about 4 meters long and peel off the insulation at both endsÂ
d. Connect one end of the test wire into the black spring connector and one into the red connector and shape the wire into a circle making sure it does not cross over itself anywhereÂ
e. If the beeping stops, then weâve established that it is indeed a wire break and your transmitter is working properly.
f. Next you can test the collar by inserting the recommended new battery or fully charging the collar, then bring the collar near the wire circle and turn the power up on the base unit gradually, if the collar reacts then the system is in fully working orderÂ
Â
g.if you want to test if the collar has static shock you can place the supplied test bulb in the kit over the contact points whilst doing the last step ( step f ) if the bulb lights up as the collar is beeping then the collar is providing static shockÂ
