Any user of electric fence systems is legally obligated to control the fence appliance and the fence
system regularly, in accordance with the conditions of use, at least once per day.
– visual check of the appliance and the fence system
– measurement of the minimum voltage of 2500V at each point of the fence
For using an electric fence appliance in a barn, only specially constructed appliances may be used.
Battery-operated fencing appliances must never be connected to a power supply system or similar
facilities.
For optimum safety we strongly recommend to connect mains energizers only to mains circuits protected
by an earth-leakage circuit breaker (trip current 30mA).
Services and repairs only by authorized experts!
Earthing/Grounding
The correct earthing (or grounding) is extremely important, as the complete function of the
energizer depends on it .
After the complete installation, drive in a rust-protected grounding rod into the ground at a place
with preferably high, continuous moisture.
If necessary, especially in dry areas or low earth conductivity, one or more additional grounding rods
have to be used (length: about 5 ft). These grounding rods have to be driven into the ground at a
minimum distance of approximately 10 ft. of each other.
Put to service
•
The enclosed specific instruction manual for the energizer has to be read first!
•
Always make sure that the energizer is switched off and not connected to the power supply
system before making any connections to the energizer or fence!
•
Connection plan of the electric fence energizer:
•
With battery-operated fencers, pay attention to the correct polarity when connecting the
battery: black = minus; red = plus
