We support this claim by backing Invisible Fence® Brand products with a One-Year, Money-Back Performance Guarantee*, and new Warranties which include lightning and surge damage. Refer to your warranty card or the back of your sales contract for complete details. All of this is backed up by our international network of local Dealers who offer our customers professional installation, animal training, and prompt service. [. . . ] Charging of the external battery occurs while the system is operating normally on AC electric power. Note: NEVER leave the 12v battery directly on the floor or ground. Using non-lead acid batteries or batteries with improper voltage can damage both the transmitter and the battery. Select a location for the battery near the transmitter, but not on the floor or the ground. Use the box as a template and mark the position of the 4 screw holes on the wall. Lace a 12" wire tie around the inside of the battery box running the tie all the way around the box to form a "U". One Red wire, the positive (+) lead, and one Black wire, the negative (-) lead, are used to help eliminate confusion. Installing a Battery Backup A 12v battery connected to an ICT 725 will power the signal field loop in the event of a power outage. A 12v battery with a 5. 0 Ah (amp hours) rating will power the system for approximately 10 hours with the signal set at maximum. The greater the amp hours (Ah) and/or the lower the signal field is set, the longer the system will function without AC power. 6 Installing a Battery Backup continued 3 3 2 456 Connect the spade quick-connect on the RED wire to the positive (+) terminal of the 12v battery. Connect the spade quick-connect on the BLACK wire to the negative (-) battery terminal. Put the battery in the box and secure it by pulling the wire tie tight around it. Align the battery box with the battery over the pilot holes in the wall taking care that the wires from the battery are in one of the exit notches. Fasten the box to the wall with 4, #10 pan-head sheet metal screws. A 2amp fast-blow fuse is installed on the circuit board to protect the battery and the circuit board from improper installation. If the battery is connected incorrectly it will cause the fuse to blow. Caution: DO NOT mix up the RED and BLACK wires running from ICT 725 transmitter to the battery. Detecting Low Voltage in the 12v Battery The voltage of a fully charged 12v battery is continuously monitored by a microprocessor. When this microprocessor senses that the voltage of the battery has dropped to between 11v DC and 9v DC, the transmitter sounds an alarm. The alarm will continue until AC power is restored and the battery voltage has been recharged to more than 11v DC. The alarm can be manually disabled by disconnecting all power, both the 12v AC transformer and the battery, for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, reconnect the battery first and then the transformer. NOTE: When the alarm is manually disabled it will not sound during a second power outage unless the battery has reached a charge of greater than 11v DC. How long it takes the battery to recharge to 11v DC depends on how low the battery voltage has dropped and what the signal field setting is. The lower the voltage and the higher the signal field setting, the longer the battery will take to recharge to 11v DC. NOTE: The battery will take five times its projected operation time to charge. The battery backup wire connector is located on the transmitter circuit board between the LED and the 12v AC power jack. [. . . ] When the battery is good, the green and red LEDs on the tester will both light. If there is no light or a dimly lit red LED on the battery tester, the battery needs to be replaced. WARNING: The use of any battery other than a battery authorized by IFCO Enterprises, Inc. , can cause a Computer Collar to operate erratically. The use of an unauthorized battery in an Invisible Fence® Computer Collar will void the manufacturer's warranty on the collar. 10 Wire Specs and Service Wire Specifications The signal field loop wire is solid or stranded copper, insulated wire, which carries a harmless radio signal. There is no hazard in touching or exposing the wire because the wire carries only low voltage electricity. [. . . ]
