Transmitter Pet

About 5 years ago I installed a petsafe (guardian) pet fence system, up until now it has worked fine, well?

the loop light has recently gone out so I bought the break locator for $50 and the tone that it is supposed to put out over the radio never changed so I unhooked it plugged my fence transmitter back in and it works, that was Saturday, today (Tuesday) the loop light is off again and I am stumped.....any ideas.
Thanks

Part of the problem is that it is a Petsafe system. An old one at that. In my experience very few of them last much more than half that time.

Sounds as if you have a break in the loop wire, either from physical damage (has it been run over by a car recently?) or corrosion through a nick in the insulation. A hairline break can come and go (you don't say where you are located but temperature changes for example expand and contract the wire and the weather is warming up and cooling down around here daily) and not be detectable. If you have an ohms meter disconnect the wire from the box and check for continuity the next time the light comes on. If you have continuity then the box could be faulty.

I have had the "invisible" type of fence for over 10 years now.

Huskies are escape artists. We have 14 of them. The only thing that I have found that they can't go over or under is invisible type fencing. Some folks say that it doesn't work on Huskies. They don't know what they are talking about. You can't buy the cheap stuff, like what they sell at Lowe's or Home Depot or PetSmart etc. The best I have found is the Smart Dog 2100 by Innotek. You can find it on line at several sites, discounted for less than $170.00 with 1 collar. Extra collars are about $80.00. The kit has everything needed including 500' of wire and flags, enough to do a quarter acre. Expansion kits (500' of wire and flags) are available for $38.00 and will contain a bit more than an acre. The collars are rechargeable (unlike the "Invisible Fence" and most others where you have to buy the proprietary (one place to get it = expensive) batteries every 3 or so months), has battery backup for the transmitter, run through prevention, waterproof, etc. if you are in an area that has a lot of thunderstorms I would consider a lighting protection module ($50.00). Innotek now owns Invisible Fence brand. Be sure to use heat shrink type splices in the wire if needed. They are available at marine supply stores. Do not use the "weatherproof wire nuts" from Lowe's etc. They will not work for this application. Use an edger to dig the "trench" for the wire. The wire only has to be buried 1 or 2 inches down. The yard will “heal” within a few days normally.

25 years of being owned by Siberian Huskies. I currently have 14 Huskies most of whom were rescued by us from people who didn’t know what they were getting into
