Description

The Dogtra Surge Protector guards your in-ground fence transmitter against power spikes. A fence transmitter is plugged in around the clock, so it’s exposed to every storm that rolls through.

Which models does the Dogtra Surge Protector fit?

It’s made for the EF-3000, EF-3000 Gold and E-Fence 3500.

Why fence transmitters need it

The transmitter connects to a long run of boundary wire buried in your yard. That wire can pick up a surge from a nearby strike as well as the mains. A surge protector is a lot cheaper than a new transmitter.

Charging tips

If you’re charging a remote and a collar together, use the right splitter cable and plug both in before you switch the charger on at the wall. Unplug when they’re done. There’s no benefit to leaving them on for days. Your model’s manual on Dogtra’s website has the exact charging times and light codes.

Is it the charger or the battery?

Before you blame the battery, try a different charger if you’ve got one. If the unit charges fine on that, the old charger has had it.

A spare for the truck

If more than one person in the house trains, a second charger saves arguments over whose collar gets charged first.

Looking after the charging port

If the plug feels loose in the port or only charges at a certain angle, look at both ends. A bent pin on the plug or dirt in the port will both do it. Clean the port, straighten nothing by force, and replace the cap if it no longer closes snugly.

Off-season storage

At the end of the season, charge everything about halfway, unplug it and store the units and chargers together in a dry place. Coil the charger cable loosely, since tight wraps near the plug are where cables break.

Why a genuine charger

A generic charger with the right plug isn’t always the right charger. Dogtra matches each charger to the battery type and voltage, which is why the model lists matter. Everything we sell is original Dogtra.
