Problems
The most common cause of problems with the Fault Finder is flat or poor quality
batteries. If your Fault Finder fails to operate, shows no readings, or shows strange
symbols on the display, check the battery. If you don't have a battery tester or meter fit
a
new
(heavy duty or alkaline) battery and see if the problem disappears. Also see
‘Unpacking and Checking’.
Warranty
The Fault Finder is covered by a 3 year warranty against defective parts (excluding
batteries) or workmanship. Please see ‘For assistance’ if you have any problems, return
the Fault Finder to JVA along with the warranty slip included with your product, or
contact the store of purchase or distributor.

Introduction
The Digital Electric Fence FAULT FINDER is the most technologically advanced
electric fence fault finder available. It features microprocessor and surface
mount technologies to make it the easiest to use and most effective electric
fence fault finding device ever made.
The FAULT FINDER is able to show the peak voltage, peak current and direction
to the fault in all electric fences, irrespective of energiser and faults. The FAULT
FINDER needs no second (earth) connection to read fence voltage as it uses the
capacitance of the user's hand (nothing is felt).
Unpacking and checking
The FAULT FINDER may be packed without a battery or with a battery inside but
not connected.
1. Unscrew the 4 large screws from the back of the FAULT FINDER , lift the back
carefully (the O-ring may stick), then insert the battery into position. Be sure
to match ’+’ to ’+’ and ’-’ to ’-’. The FAULT FINDER uses a standard 9 volt
battery.
2. Press the button marked PRESS. A decimal place should appear on the left
hand side of the display. If no decimal place appears or the battery symbol
remains on the display then replace the battery.
