1  Introduction 

 

 

The NEMTEK Fence Meter measures the electrical condition of an electric fence. 
By holding the meter against the fence wire the meter will turn on automatically 
when it detects a fence voltage. The fence voltage, current and the direction of 
a possible fence fault will be displayed on the LCD. The meter will automatically 
turn off after a few seconds when not in use.
