What Happens to an Underground Dog Fence During a Power Outage?
A wired underground dog fence requires electricity at the transmitter to generate its boundary signal. If a home loses power and the system does not have battery backup, the boundary will temporarily stop operating. For homeowners who want continued protection during an outage, Hidden Pet Fence offers optional battery backup systems.
Another important feature is the transmitter’s built-in memory backup. A power interruption does not erase the settings or require the customer to reprogram the fence. Once electricity is restored, the transmitter automatically returns to normal operation using its previously programmed settings. There is no need to reset the system or manually turn it back on.
New York thunderstorms can also produce lightning and damaging electrical surges. Hidden Pet Fence transmitters include internal lightning protection designed to provide an additional layer of protection against storm-related electrical damage. While no electronic device can be guaranteed against every possible lightning event, this built-in protection helps make the system more dependable during Rochester’s changing weather.
If an outage occurs at a property without battery backup, dogs should be supervised or kept on a leash until electricity returns. The transmitter should then be checked to confirm that the boundary is operating normally.
With optional backup power, automatic setting retention, and internal lightning protection, Hidden Pet Fence offers dependable features for homes throughout Rochester, Webster, Greece, Irondequoit, and Monroe County.
