Will an Underground Dog Fence Work During a Power Outage?
The transmitter of a wired underground dog fence uses household electricity to create the boundary signal. Without a battery backup, that signal temporarily stops during a power outage. Hidden Pet Fence offers optional battery backup protection for Capital Region homeowners who want the boundary to continue operating when their home loses electricity.
When power returns, customers do not have to rebuild the boundary or reprogram the system. Hidden Pet Fence transmitters include memory backup that preserves the programmed settings during an interruption. The transmitter automatically resumes normal operation using the same settings once electricity has been restored.
Storm protection is another important consideration in Upstate New York. Lightning and electrical surges can potentially damage electronic equipment. Our transmitters include internal lightning protection designed to provide an added layer of defense during severe weather. Although no electronic system is completely immune to a direct or unusually powerful lightning event, this protection helps improve long-term dependability.
At a property without battery backup, dogs should be supervised or taken outside on a leash during an outage. After electricity returns, the homeowner should confirm that the transmitter indicates normal boundary operation.
Optional backup power, automatic memory retention, and built-in lightning protection make Hidden Pet Fence a dependable choice for properties throughout Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Colonie, Clifton Park, and nearby communities.
