Have energizer repaired
Unplug the energizer from the
power supply and remove the
fence wire from the Red terminal.
Plug energizer in again. Using a
Digital Volt Meter (G5030) check
the voltage across the terminals.
If the voltage is less than 5000V,
have energizer repaired.
Improve the earth system by
adding more galvanised earth
stakes to the earth system un l
the earth voltage is 200V or
below.
Check the electrical connec ons
are secure eg. from the fence to
the red terminal, from the earth
system to the green terminal, at
gates etc. Check the voltage on
the fence every 33m (100 ) using
the Digital Volt Meter. Note if the
voltage is dropping. The closer
to a fault, the lower the voltage
reading will be. Become aware
of things that cause faults and
always be on the lookout for:
stray pieces of wire on the fence,
heavy vegeta on growth, cracked
or broken insulators, broken
wires.
