Installation Notes
•
Keep the wires to the fence separate from mains and communication wiring.
•
Do not try and modify the energizer. Any unauthorized modifications will null
and void the warranty and possibly render the unit illegal.
•
Use HT (high voltage) wire between the fence and energizer, including the
earth wire. Never run these wires in the same conduit or through the same
hole as the low voltage wiring.
•
Always use ferrules or line clamps to connect two high voltage wires together.
Avoid using dissimilar materials for connections like copper on steel.
•
The fence must be earthed properly with three earth spikes close to the
energizer. The distance between the fence earth spikes and any other earth
systems shall be not less than 10m for an agricultural fence installation.
(Typically, a rural property installation.)
•
Always test the fence after installation for correct short and open-circuit
alarming at various points along the fence.
•
Refer to the applicable laws concerning the installation of electric fences in
your area.
