PAC BXT Remote Trainer Guide

PAC BXT Remote Trainer Guide
www.pacdog.com
A practical guide to the function and operation of your PAC BXT Remote Trainer
Whilst your dog is getting used to wearing the optional dummy collar (see Training Guide - The
Dummy Familiarisation Period), use this opportunity to familiarise yourself with the kit. A tour of
the kit and its functions now will almost certainly avoid problems at critical moments in the future.
During manufacture and test the batteries in the collar will have been charged and you should, therefore,
be able to perform the suggested familiarisation exercises in some of the following sections.
If you are not familiar with the use of Remote Training collars, please read and understand the Training
Guide before attempting to use the equipment for correction of your dog.

To Turn ON
Orientate the collar so ON/OFF
arrow (illustrated here on the BXC1
collar) aligns with the arrow on the
handset’s left side. See Page 1 for
AXC5 collar ON/OFF arrow position
When arrows touch, Collar LED will
flash green, and then give a
confirmation *beep* completing the
ON operation
When separated from the handset the
collar will be in the standby, ON
state,indicated by its LED slow flashing
green @ once per second
To Turn OFF
Orientate the collar so ON/OFF
arrow aligns with the arrow on the
handset’s left side
When arrows touch the collar will flash
momentarily red and then give a
confirmation *beep*completing the
OFF operation
When separated from the handset the
collar will no longer flash. Check this by
observing the collar LED for about 1
second afterwards
NB Wait for *beep* to confirm completion of ON or OFF operation
Note on collar colours:
BXT1 kits are normally supplied with black straps; BXT2 kits are normally
supplied to coordinate with the green and blue trigger sets. Other colours
are available on request

The Collar Status LED will now flash

For BXT1 Press briefly (for about 1
second) any trigger to tune (i.e.’match’)
the collar to the handset.
The collar LED will then glow orange
for 1 second showing that it is tuned.
Collar is now ON and in standby
Continued on next page (page 4).
* Do not leave the collar awaiting a tuning signal, since, in this state it could be susceptible to any compatible, external signal

Press briefly any green trigger to tune/match

Repeat the whole RESET procedure –
then but this time with the ‘blue’ collar – using
any blue trigger to match the ‘blue’ collar
to the blue trigger set.

Notes
Following a RESET procedure,
the collar is now ON
Turn the collar OFF to conserve
battery charge after RESET or
after use.
IMPORTANT:
Confirm successful RESET operation by pressing any button on your chosen trigger-set to check own collar-handset match.
Always RESET collar(s) after a recharge to ensure collar-handset match.
RESET if you need to match collar to a different trigger set (e.g. on BXT2) or to another handset
Never RESET two collars to the same trigger set.
Turning collar OFF does not cause collar to lose identity, but should be recharged and RESET if left unused for 60 days or more.
Whenever collar appears not to respond, try RESET as first solution

Spend just 5 minutes now to understand the function of your kit, by performing the following exercises.
5 minute
1
familiarisation
Practise turning the collar(s) ON & OFF.See Page 2
2
Practise using the RESET function on your collar(s)… See Page 3-4
Notice that following a RESET operation, the collar ends up in the ON state (in standby, ready to use)
3
Plug an active collar into the Neon Tester, so that you can observe both the neon indicator and the LED.
4
Press the GREEN Tone Trigger
See the collar LED react by changing flash rate from 1 per second (green) to 4 per second
Hear the ‘*Beep,Beep,Beep*’ that your dog would normally hear from the collar
Notice that the Neon does not flash, indicating that there is no stimulation with tone warning
5
Press the GREEN #1 Trigger
See the LED react again by changing flash rate from 1 per second… to 4 per
second (continuous- until you release the trigger)
Notice that you hear no warning tone when the stimulation triggers are activated
Notice that the Neon flashes dim orange, indicating that there is low level stimulus
6
Press each of the other GREEN triggers (i.e. #2, #3 & #4) in turn, and notice the same as (5) above.
Notice that the neon flashes progressively brighter with the higher trigger numbers, indicating higher levels of
stimulation.
7
BXT1 Repeat (4 - 6) above, but pressing the BLUE triggers.
Notice that the same happens, except there is now only one single cycle (of tone ‘beep’ or
stimulation impulse). Releasing the trigger and re-pressing it will give a repeat cycle. This is known
as Single mode and is recommended for the new or apprehensive user, since it is very safe.
8
BXT2 Tune your second active collar to the BLUE trigger set, and repeat (4 - 6) above.
Note that the BLUE collar only reacts positively to the BLUE trigger set and likewise the GREEN collar only
reacts to the GREEN trigger set.
1
Notice that both collars operate in Continuous mode (continuous pulsing) until the trigger is released.
9
Notes
If two triggers in the same set are pressed ‘simultaneously’ the higher number takes priority.
If two triggers (one from each set) are pressed ‘simultaneously’ the first to activate takes priority.
After the tests, remember to turn the collar(s) OFF to preserve the battery charge.

Power Adaptor and Timed Charging Dock.
Periodically recharge collar (say, once a week). BXT1’s single collar dock automatically starts a
full 16-hour charge cycle when collar is physically plugged in. The BXT2 (dual collar) dock ensures
a full 16-hour charge cycle when ‘Set Timer’ button is pressed.
• Observe polarity when recharging (i.e. + to +… and – to- )
• Do not charge unnecessarily or more that once in 24 hours
• Dock LEDs glow when charging and extinguish automatically at the end of the charge cycle.
Neon Tester (Do not confuse this tester with the BXT1 charging dock)
The neon lamp flashes orange in the presence of high voltage. It is
provided solely to demonstrate that the electrical stimulation is working.
Tips on
improving
range of
BXT
system
The transmitter range can be improved
if the unit is not aimed like a TV remote
control. Instead, the handset should
be held vertically, and, at greater
distances it should be held up high.
