DogWatch is concerned about the environment and is taking steps to be as green as can be.
New Power Supply for DogWatch Hidden Fences!
Beginning October 2008, all DogWatch Hidden Fences will incorporate a new, higher efficiency 24 volt switching power supply.
The new power supply weighs only 4.8 oz and has a regulated 24-volt output that is not affected by fluctuations in line voltage.
It incorporates input and output protection that will automatically reset in case of short circuit, sudden surge, or power overload.
And… it uses less energy! The new power supply complies with California Energy Commission specifications and with upcoming Department of Energy requirements - it also meets the Environmental Protection Agency’s ‘Energy Star’ standards!
Long Battery Life Means Less Battery Waste
We can contain your pet for 10 years with only five DogWatch batteries. With competitive underground or wireless pet containment systems, you’ll use up to 40 batteries. With DogWatch, you’ll have 35 less batteries to recycle!
RoHS Initiative
DogWatch Hidden Fences are lead-free and compliant with the Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) initiative — a European-based initiative to reduce the amount of lead and other hazardous metals in consumer electronic products. Great news
for our dogs as well as our landfills.
Power Usage
DogWatch transmitters use only 9 Watts of power to produce the outside signal....about the same energy usage as a nightlight and leading the industry in low power consumption.
