ICT 725 Transmitter
Features and Functions
The ICT 725 Invisible
®
pet containment sys-
tem is designed for systems up to 3,000 feet of loop
wire and up to 150 feet of twisted pair.
The ICT 725 has a green LED to indicate that
power is on and there is no break in the loop wire.
This LED is ON for 1 second and then OFF for 4
seconds. The LED turns red when the transmitter is
in battery backup mode. The ICT 725 has both an
audible and visual BreakAlert
®
. Should a break
occur in the loop wire, the green/red LED will stay
on without blinking and the BreakAlert will sound
an alarm. This alarm will continue until the break is
repaired, or the unit is turned OFF; disconnected
from the 12v AC transformer. The ICT 725 also has
a course and a fine signal field adjustment knob,
and a switch that changes the channel of operation
between 10k, the UP position and 7k, the DOWN
position.
Lightning and surge protection is provided by
an LP Card that is plugged into the right side of the
circuit board. The signal from the transmitter must
pass through the LP Card to the signal loop wire. If
the LP Card is damaged or removed from the circuit
board the LED will stay on without blinking and the
BreakAlert will sound as previously described.
Another feature of the ICT 725 is internal bat-
tery backup circuitry, that will charge an external
12v battery. With a charged 12v battery the ICT 725
will power the loop if AC electric power is lost.
Removing the ICT 725 Cover
To remove the cover on the transmitter,
hold the base cover of the transmitter in one
hand and, using the thumb and index finger of
your other hand, gently compress the top and
bottom of the top cover plate and remove it.
To replace the cover on the ICT 725, line up
the two tabs on top of the cover plate with the two
insert slots, located on the top of the base, and insert
the tabs into the slots. Lock the cover in place by
inserting the bottom tab of the cover plate into the
bottom slot of the base.
The Signal Field
Invisible Fence
®
transmitters produce a coded,
low power radio signal which travels from the
transmitter, along the signal field loop wire and
back to the transmitter to produce an Invisible
Barrier
®
wall. This signal is what activates your
pet’s receiver collar.
The ICT 725 transmitter functions only when
the signal loop wire forms a continuous loop. The
signal field is created where two sides of the wire
are separated and cancelled where two sides are
kept close together. Should a break occur in the sig-
nal field loop wire, the signal field will be lost and
the system will cease to function.
Planning the Installation
The ICT 725 pet containment system is
designed for signal loops up to 3,000 feet long and
with up to 150 feet of twisted pair. There is no haz-
ard in touching or exposing the wire because the
wire carries only low voltage electricity.
Mount the transmitter in a dry location, near a
grounded 110v electric outlet that offers easy
access to the outside. A garage or basement is the
best location. If you are not sure whether your out-
let is grounded or not, contact your local Invisible
Fence professional or an electrician. For easy
mounting on a wall, use #8 or #10 pan-head sheet
screws through the 4 mounting holes in the base
of the transmitter case.
Caution: Never install a system
or any equipment during
a thunder or electrical storm.
Connecting the Loop Wire
To connect the signal loop wire
to the ICT 725 transmitter, strip
approximately 1/4 inch of insulation
off each end of the loop wire. Twist
the ends of the wire to keep the strands
together. Using your thumb, push
back and down hard on the tabs
located on top of the loop
wire connector, the wire con-
nector on the right side of the
circuit board, and put one of
the stripped ends of the loop
wire into each of the slots in
the base of the connector.
Either end of the wire
may be put into either
slot. Take care that a
strand from one wire
end does not touch the
other wire end or the
other connector slot.

The signal loop wire is the actual
boundary of the“fenced”area.
Because of limited space, it is not
represented here in scale.
Note: You will need to apply pressure
to push down the tabs on the wire
connector; the connector will not break, so do
not be concerned about pushing too hard.
When the ends of the wire are in the slots of
the loop wire connector, release your thumb and
the loop wire will automatically be crimped into
the connector.
To remove the loop wire from the connector,
push back and down on the white tabs on the con-
nector and pull the ends of the loop wire out.
Caution: Before starting any work,
you must unplug the 12v AC
transformer and turn off the electric service
at the circuit panel.
Connecting the Grounding Wire
to the ICT 725 Circuit Board
Put the grounding wire pin into the square
screw clamp marked EARTH on the transmitter
circuit board. Be careful not to push the pin too far
through the connector. The grounding wire pin
must not touch any other component on the circuit
board. Use a flat head screwdriver with a 1/8 inch
wide blade to tighten the connector screw only
enough so that it is snug against the ground wire
pin. Then tighten the screw an additional 1/4 turn.
Note: DO NOT tighten the screw
more than a 1/4 turn when tightening
the grounding wire screw clamp.
Over tightening the screw that holds the
grounding wire pin may shear off or fracture
the EARTH ground connector and greatly
reduce the quality of the electrical connection.
A sound earth ground connection is essential
and required for lightning protection and
the safety of the system.
Caution: Never use a transmitter
when the EARTH ground connector
on the circuit board is partially sheared
or fractured.
Grounding Instructions to an Electric Outlet
Check to make sure that the LP Card is
plugged into the LP connector on the right side of
the transmitter circuit board.
Remove the screw that holds the cover on the
110v electric outlet. Put this screw through the
grounding wire ring terminal. Then put the screw,
with the ring terminal through the outlet cover plate
and secure it in the outlet. The grounding wire must
be on the outside of the outlet cover when you
replace it. If the cover plate screw is plastic, replace
it with a size 6-32 x 1/2” oval-head metal screw.
ICT 725 Transmitter Installation continued

Grounding the System
Important: During the grounding procedure, make
certain that the screw and mating outlet threads are
clean. All foreign substances like paint, corrosion,
grease, and dirt must be removed. There must be
metal to metal contact of the mating threads. Also,
the underside of the cover plate screw and the ring
terminal must be clean. If the surfaces appear cor-
roded, scrape, wire brush, or sand each thoroughly,
or replace them.
Grounding Instructions
to a Ground Fault Interrupter, GFI
Definition: A ground fault interrupter pro-
vides a function similar to a circuit breaker. When
it detects a ground fault in the circuit’s electric cur-
rent the GFI trips and cuts the power. A ground
fault is an abnormal electrical condition which is
not desirable.
1. Remove the outlet cover plate.
2. Remove the bottom screw holding the GFI
outlet in the junction box.
3. Put the screw through the grounding wire
ring terminal.
4. Refasten the screw, with the ring terminal
on it, to the GFI junction box and tighten it.
5. Notch the bottom edge of the cover plate
approximately the size of the 12 gauge grounding
wire. Bend the wire to fit into the notch and reat-
tach the cover plate keeping the wire in the notch.
DO NOT make any sharp bends
in the grounding wire.
An LP Card helps protect the transmitter from
lightning and surge damage. The LP Card must be
plugged into the Loop LP connector for the signal
to be transmitted to the signal field loop wire.
ICT 725 12v AC Transformer
Only use the 12v AC transformer provided
with the ICT 725 by your authorized Invisible
Fence
®
professional, Invisible Fence part num-
ber100-0018-01.
Specifications:
INPUT: 120vAC 60Hz 33.5W
OUTPUT: 12vAC 1667mA
UL/CSA CLASS 2 Transformer
UL listed/CSAcertified
This transformer will accommodate the power
requirements needed to properly power the ICT
725. Using any other transformer that is not autho-
rized by IFCO Enterprises, Inc. may result in a mal-
function of the ICT 725 system.
NOTE: Before setting the signal field,
always remove the pet's Computer
Collar
®
first, then remove the ICT 725 cover.
The signal field is what activates your pet's
Computer Collar. The signal field can be set to var-
ious distances from the loop wire depending on the
layout and size of your property. The average set-
ting of the signal field is 6 to 10 feet wide.
Check to be sure that the transmitter is turned
on and that the channel of operation switch is set to
same frequency as the receiver collar, 10k or 7k.
The switch is labeled SW1, the 10k setting is UP
and the 7k setting is down.
There are two signal field adjustment knobs
on the ICT 725 circuit board. The right knob is the
course signal field adjustment, and is numbered 1
to 10. The left knob is the fine tune signal field
adjustment, and is also numbered 1 to 10. Turning
5
Grounding the System
continued
Setting the Signal Field
the signal field adjust-
ment knobs clockwise
increases the width of
the signal field. By
first tuning the coarse
signal field adjust-
ment and then using the fine tune signal field
adjustment, you can set the width of the signal field
to the desired distance. For example, on a one acre
property, the fine tune adjustment can be used to
move the signal field, which has been set by the
coarse adjustment, to protect a planter or exclude a
walk or driveway.
These adjustments do not alter the level of
correction from the receiver; they change the width
of the signal field sent out from the signal field
loop wire.
Checking the Signal Field
You can check the width of the
signal field by holding a Computer
Collar
®
parallel to the loop wire. Hold it at
the same height and angle that your pet
will be wearing the collar. Approach
the wire. The Computer Collar will
sound a warning when it
reaches the edge of the
signal field.
Note: A Computer Collar has
a fail safe mechanism. The
Computer Collar receiver will go
through three complete cycles of
10 seconds on and 10 seconds off
before it shuts down. It will not reactivate
until it is taken completely out of the the
signal field and then brought back into it.
A 12v battery connected to an ICT 725 will
power the signal field loop in the event of a power
outage. A 12v battery with a 5.0 Ah (amp hours)
rating will power the system for approximately 10
hours with the signal set at maximum. The greater
the amp hours (Ah) and/or the lower the signal
field is set, the longer the system will function
without AC power.
The green LED will turn red indicating that
AC power is lost and the system is operating in bat-
tery backup mode.
Recommended Batteries
All are 12v, 5.0Ah.

Note: The 12v lead acid battery
has a five year shelf life,
and should be replaced, whether engaged
often or not, after that time.
Important: The battery will take five times
its projected operating time to fully charge. A 5.0
The battery will take about 50 hours to charge to
full power. Charging of the external battery occurs
while the system is operating normally on AC elec-
tric power.
Note: NEVER leave the 12v battery
directly on the floor or ground.
This may lead to premature battery failure.
USE ONLY approved lead acid batteries.
Using non-lead acid batteries or batteries
with improper voltage can damage both the
transmitter and the battery.
Select a location for the battery near the trans-
mitter, but not on the floor or the ground. Put the
battery on a shelf or in a battery box.
Installing a Battery Box
1. Hold the battery box on the wall where you
are going to mount it. Use the box as a template and
mark the position of the 4 screw holes on the wall.
Drill 4 small pilot holes in the wall where the
screws will go.
2. Lace a 12” wire tie around the inside of the
battery box running the tie all the way around the
box to form a “U”.
3. Attach the wires to the battery.
One Red wire, the positive (+) lead, and one
Black wire, the negative (-) lead, are used to help
eliminate confusion.
Setting the Signal Field
continued

Installing a Battery Backup
Connect the spade quick-connect on the RED
wire to the positive (+) terminal of the 12v battery.
Connect the spade quick-connect on the
BLACK wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
4. Put the battery in the box and secure it by
pulling the wire tie tight around it.
5. Align the battery box with the battery over
the pilot holes in the wall taking care that the wires
from the battery are in one of the exit notches.
Fasten the box to the wall with 4, #10 pan-head
sheet metal screws.
6. Attach the wire connector from the battery
to the transmitter.
The battery backup wire connector is located
on the transmitter circuit board between the LED
and the 12v AC power jack. The two position head-
er-connector is on the lower left side of the circuit
board. The plug holds the two inboard ends of the
leads that run to the battery, and each wire’s out-
board end has a spade quick-connect attached to it.
The connector and the plug are designed so
that the plug will only go into the connector one
way, making it nearly impossible to reverse the bat-
tery connections on the transmitter circuit board.
A 2amp fast-blow fuse is installed on the cir-
cuit board to protect the battery and the circuit
board from improper installation. If the battery is
connected incorrectly it will cause the fuse to blow.
Caution: DO NOT mix up the RED
and BLACK wires running from
ICT 725 transmitter to the battery.
Detecting Low Voltage in the 12v Battery
The voltage of a fully charged 12v battery is
continuously monitored by a microprocessor.
When this microprocessor senses that the voltage
of the battery has dropped to between 11v DC and
9v DC, the transmitter sounds an alarm. The alarm
is a one second beep that sounds once a minute.
The alarm will continue until AC power is
restored and the battery voltage has been recharged
to more than 11v DC. The alarm can be manually
disabled by disconnecting all power, both the 12v
AC transformer and the battery, for 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds, reconnect the battery first and
then the transformer.
NOTE: When the alarm is manually
disabled it will not sound during a
second power outage unless the battery has
reached a charge of greater than 11v DC.
How long it takes the battery to recharge
to 11v DC depends on how low the battery
voltage has dropped and what the signal field
setting is. The lower the voltage and the
higher the signal field setting, the longer
the battery will take to recharge to 11v DC.
NOTE: The battery will take five
times its projected operation time to
charge. The 5.0 AH battery will take about 50
hours to charge to full power. Charging of the

external battery occurs while the system is
operating normally on AC electric power.
When the voltage of the battery drops too low
to produce a signal field, the alarm will sound con-
stantly and the LED will not be lit.
CAUTION AND CARE
An Invisible Fence
®
Computer Collar
will not work unless:
1. You train your pet as prescribed in the
Invisible Fence Safe Dog
®
Training Manual”.
2. The Computer Collar is worn snugly on the
neck under the lower jaw.
3. The Computer Collar is
adjusted so that the posts are
touching your pet’s skin.
4. The Power Cap
®
battery in the Computer
Collar receiver is fresh and
installed properly,
see “Changing the
Computer Collar
Battery”, on page 9.
5. The transmitter
is on, connected to
the signal loop wire, and
producing a signal field
along the loop wire.
6. The loop wire is intact and continuous.
The following precautions should also be taken:
1. Always remove your pet’s Computer
Collar before making any adjustment to your
Invisible Fence system.
2. Gradually allow your pet to become
accustomed to its new Computer Collar.
Remove the collar every night during the first
month and periodically thereafter. This will
ensure proper fit and avoid the possibility of any
irritation that the posts may cause to the skin.
3. Check the Computer Collar near your
television set(s). Although the receiver has a
decoding circuit, some televisions may pro-
duce a coded signal similar to the Invisible
Fence signal and can cause the receiver to acti-
vate if it is placed close to a television.
4. DO NOT secure the
posts in the receiver with
any kind of glue or adhesive.
ALWAYS use the post
tightening tool to tighten
the receiver posts.
5. Check the transmitter periodically to
make sure that it is operating properly and pro-
ducing a signal. For more information, refer to
the section “Checking the Signal Field” on
page 6.
6. DO NOT, under any circumstances,
use this product for any purpose other than
that stated in this manual. Invisible Fencesys-
tems are designed for animal use only.
Features and Functions
Computer Collar receivers are water resistant,
microprocessor controlled units powered by a spe-
cial 3v lithium Power Capbattery.
A Computer Collar can be used with all ICT
series, AT950, and IFA12 transmitters. Computer
Collar receivers are available with SuperDog
®
pro-
tection. Computer Collar receivers are also avail-
able with shunts which reduce the output of a
receiver for small pets who are shy or timid.
A Computer Collar is also available with
remote strips, which distribute the correction to
two additional contact points. Remotes are most
often used for dogs who regularly challenge the
Invisible Barrier
®
limit around a protected area.
Fitting the Computer Collar
To work properly, the contact posts on the
Computer Collar receiver must touch your pet’s

skin. Posts are available in three different sizes
to ensure a proper fit for every pet: short, 1/2
inch; long, 3/4 inch; and short-spaced posts.
Adjust the collar so it’s snug enough to slide one
finger between a post and your pet’s neck. The
receiver should be positioned underneath your
pet’s neck with the posts pointing up and the top
of the receiver pointing forward, toward your
pet’s nose. Periodic adjustment of the Computer
Collar may be necessary as a pet’s coat, weight
and age change.
Changing the Computer Collar
Power Cap
®
Battery
It is very important for proper operation that
the receiver always has a fresh battery. Minimum
battery life can be reduced by several factors,
including lower temperatures, the number of times
a pet challenges the system, and the fit of the collar
on the pet’s neck. Each Invisible Fence
®
profes-
sional should recommend a schedule for changing
receiver batteries. We recommend that you ask
your Dealer about a battery replacement plan.
Note: Invisible Fence recommends
that a customer subscribe to a
battery replacement plan where fresh Power
Cap batteries are mailed directly to them on
a regular schedule.
Your Invisible Fence professional can
determine the most appropriate schedule
for you.
The Power Cap battery is a replaceable 3v
lithium battery with a unique plastic screw cap. On
average, the battery should be changed every 3 to 4
months. But battery life depends upon outside tem-
peratures and how often the dog or the customer
tests the system. In cold weather, it may be neces-
sary to replace the battery more often.
Also, Invisible Fence receivers are water
resistant, not waterproof. In particularly humid cli-
mates or when the dog has access to creeks, pools,
etc., water may get trapped in the battery compart-
ment. A small rubber O-ring around the battery cap
will minimize water invasion, but if you think that
the battery compartment is getting wet, take the
battery out of the Computer Collar receiver when
the dog is not wearing the col-
lar. This will allow the battery
and the compartment to dry.
To remove an old Power
Cap battery from a Computer
Collar receiver, use a small,
thin coin in the slot on top of the
battery and turn it counter clockwise.
The battery will rotate out of the
chamber. Never use a screwdriver
to remove or tighten the battery
because you may strip the plastic
head on the cap.
Note: Remember, before you replace
the Power Cap battery, you must wait
for a full five minutes for the Computer Collar
microprocessor to recycle after removing
the old battery.
To install a new Power Cap, line up the lugs
on the cap with the grooves in the opening of the
cap chamber. Gently put the Power Cap into the
chamber while turning it clockwise. Finally, use a
small, thin coin in the slot on the top of the battery
to turn the battery clock-
wise until the slot on
the battery cap is lined
up with the two small
raised tabs on the bot-
tom of the receiver.
When the new Power Cap is in, wait 10 sec-
onds before taking the receiver into the signal field
to give the receiver time to recycle.
Follow these directions exactly or the

Receivers continued
Computer Collar receiver may not activate prop-
erly. To maintain optimum performance, we rec-
ommend that you periodically test the battery.
WARNING: The Power Cap
®
is
made of soft, protective material.
The use of unnecessary force may damage it
and render it inoperable. DO NOT open the
Power Cap, dispose of it in fire, recharge,
heat above 212˚F (100˚C), or expose the
contents to water. Doing so can cause leakage
or explosion and lead to personal injury.
Power Cap Battery Tester
We strongly recommend that customers who
use a Computer Collar, obtain a Power Cap battery
tester. At least once a month, check the receiver
battery with the Power Cap battery tester to insure
that your pet will stay out of areas that it is sup-
posed to, and remain safely within the Invisible
Boundary
®
limit.
The Power Cap battery tester measures the
internal resistance of the 3v lithium Power Cap bat-
tery. The red and green LEDs indicate how much
life is left in the battery.
To test the Computer Collar battery with the
Power Cap battery tester, remove the Power Cap
battery from the receiver and put it into
the Power Cap battery tester. When
the battery is good, the green
and red LEDs on the tester will
both light. If there is no light
or a dimly lit red LED on the
battery tester, the battery needs
to be replaced.
WARNING: The use of any battery
other than a battery authorized by
IFCO Enterprises, Inc., can cause a
Computer Collar to operate erratically.
The use of an unauthorized battery in an
Invisible Fence

exposing the wire because the wire carries only
low voltage electricity. Some installations are
unique. These measurements are guidelines for typ-
ical installations.
Important Warnings
1. WARNING: Occasionally an animal
cannot be trained to avoid crossing the
Invisible Boundary
®
. Sometimes even a properly
trained animal may cross the boundary.
Therefore, IFCO Enterprises, Inc (IFCO), IFCO's
Distributors and Dealers cannot guarantee that the
system will, in all cases, keep Customer's animal
within the established boundary. Accordingly,
if Customer has reason to believe that his or her
animal may pose a danger to others or harm itself
if it is not kept from crossing the boundaries,
Customer should not rely solely upon the system to
keep the animal from crossing the boundary.
2. WARNING: The control panel
component of the system includes visual
and audio signals to warn of a system malfunction,
and is therefore intended to be installed in a place
where such signals may be easily seen and heard.
If the control panel is installed in an enclosed box
or in a place not readily accessible to Customer,
Customer will forfeit the benefits of the system's
warning functions for which IFCO, IFCO's
Distributors and Dealers assume no responsibility.
3. WARNING: Some persons claim
that the shock from an electronic receiver
collar can provoke an animal to become aggressive,
and possibly to attack or bite. Customer is hereby
warned to be alert for growling, snarling, biting, or
other aggressive behavior by any animal using the
system, especially during training.
If any such behavior is observed, particularly if it
appears to be associated in any way with the
system, Customer should immediately stop using
the system, unplug the transmitter, and contact
your local Invisible Fence
