Lightning is one of the main causes of fence controller failure. If a
storm is forecast, disconnect your fence controller from the fence in
advance, and unplug if it is an AC-powered unit. Using a Zareba
Cut-Off Switch (part no. COS1) is a simple way to quickly disconnect
your fence controller. If you are in an area with frequent electrical
storms, be sure to keep a spare fence controller for backup.
WARNING: Never disconnect a fence controller or approach an
electric fence during a lightning storm.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock! Do not connect an electric
fence to any other device such as a cattle or poultry trainer, as light-
ning striking a fence will be conducted to other devices.
Zareba offers several products designed to help minimize damage
from lightning:
Lightning Constrictor (part no. LC1) –
A combination lightning diverter and
lightning choke that installs between the
fence line and the fence controller.
Lightning Arrestor/Lighting Diverter (part no.
LA1/07106-96) – Helps protect fence controller
from lightning by diverting strike into the
ground.
