How the energizer works
HOW THE ENERGIZER WORKS
The energizer sends electrical pulses along the fence line, about one second apart.
These pulses give the livestock a short, sharp, but safe shock. The shock doesn’t
harm the livestock. It is suffi ciently memorable that the livestock never forgets the
shock, and will avoid the fence.
Practical Hints
• Check your local ordinance on fencing laws: local laws may require a permit
before use.
• Periodically check that the energizer is opera ng by checking that the
indicator light is fl ashing.
• Check the fence periodically. Remove any fallen branches, weeds or shrubs
because these will cause the fence to short out and will reduce livestock
control.
• All livestock need me to learn to respect the fence. It may take several days
to train the livestock and the fence may require minor adjustments.
• Livestock that are prone to jumping may be diffi cult to confi ne. You may
need to try diff erent fence heights to determine the best height.
• Use top quality insulators: low quality or cracked insulators and plas c
tubing are not recommended because they will cause shor ng.
• Use joint clamps on all steel wire connec ons to ensure a high quality circuit.
• This energizer must be grounded using galvanized metal ground rods to
ensure the electric fence works correctly.
• Double Insulated Cable should be used in buildings, under gateways and
where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Never use household
electrical cable. It is made for a maximum of 600 volts and will leak
electricity.
• On permanent power fencing, use high tensile 12.5 gauge wire.
