Troubleshooting 

Problem 

Action 

The pulse indicator light is not flashing 

Check that the electric fence controller On/Off switch is switched on. See 

Switching 

on and off

 on page 2. 

Ensure the battery is connected correctly with the positive (red) lead to the positive 
(+) terminal on the battery and the negative (black) lead to the negative (–) terminal 
on the battery. See 

Installing the battery

 on page 1. 

Replace the battery with a new battery. Before installing a new battery, charge it 

fully using a suitable battery charger. See 

Battery charging

 on page 2. 

If the pulse indicator light is still not flashing, return the electric fence controller to a 
Patriot-appointed service agent for repair.  

The pulse indicator light is flashing, but 
the electric shock delivered by the fence 
is weak.  

Check that all connections in the fence and ground system are firm and secure. If 
necessary, clean away any corrosion. 
Check that the ground rod is pushed firmly into firm ground. 
Check for faults in the fence-line caused by trees or vegetation. If necessary, remove 
obstructions and repair the fence. 
Check that the electric fence controller is adequate for the length of the fence. If 

necessary,  reduce the length of the fence or reduce the number of fence wires. 
Alternatively, divide the fence-line into smaller zones, with each zone powered by a 
separate electric fence controller. 

The pulse speed is irregular. The pulse 
indicator light flashes quickly several 

times and then there is a pause. 

There may be a problem with the electric fence controller. Return the electric fence 
controller to a Patriot-appointed service agent for repair.  

The battery needs frequent replacement 

Check that the solar panel is clean and is not damaged. See 

Electric fence controller 

maintenance

 on page 2. 

Make sure the electric fence controller is positioned to receive maximum sunlight. If 
necessary, remove any objects or vegetation that might be casting a shadow on the 

electric fence controller. See

 Positioning the electric fence controller 

on page 1, or
