7. DVANCED FEATURES Pulsed Proportional Stimulus Our unique Pulsed Proportional Stimulus System is what makes the HC 7000A stand apart from all other systems made A computer chip inside the HC 7000A receiver collar actually detects the distance of your pet from the boundary wire by measuring the relative radio signal strength It then applies a combination of sound and shock stimuli in inverse proportion to the distance from the boundary wire In other words the closer your pet is to the boundary wire the more sound and shock stimulus is applied HERE S HOW IT WORKS As your pet first comes within the outermost boundary area a slow beeping warning tone is sounded If your pet continues toward the boundary shock is applied The first shock is delivered as a single PULSE of electrical stimulus This initial pulse is a FULL VOLTAGE stimulus but it is of very SHORT DURATION It will immediately get your pet s attention but it is so short that your pet will probably not perceive it as painful The shock pulse is repeated at a slow rate in terms of the number of pulses per second until your pet retreats from the boundary At the same time sound pulses are emitted at approximately the same rate as the shock pulses If instead of retreating your pet continues to travel closer to the boundary the shock pulse RATE continues to increase along with an increasing rate of sound pulses until they are delivered in such rapid succession as to be unbear
8. able to your pet encouraging the animal to retreat from the boundary into the safe zone of your yard The use of progressively increasing shock pulse rate is a very humane technique because it allows your pet to decide for itself how much stimulus is required to initiate the retreat behavior Progressive Training Tone The use of progressively increasing sound pulses along with the shock pulses tends to psychologically intensify the perceived stimulus more quickly teaching your pet that the irritating sensation increases as he or she gets closer to the boundary Variable Field Width The HC 7000A Professional system allows you to control the maximum field width with a dial on the Base Station transmitter box We recommend that you use the maximum field width typically about 8 to 10 feet unless space restrictions of your yard require a narrower field All Digital Signal The HC 7000A sends an all digital code embedded in the radio signal that is picked up and digitally decoded by a computer processor in the receiver collar This virtually eliminates the possibility of false shocks being administered by the system Visual and Audible Cable Break Indicators You are always assured that your boundary wire is in tact because the Base Station Transmitter is equipped with both visual and audible cable status indicators to alert you in the case of a cable break Automatic Battery Back Up If there is ever an electrical power failure yo
