5 A significant reduction in current between one point and the next indicates the presence of a
fault between these two points.
6 Move back in the direction of the previous reading until the fault is located.
Notes: Higher than normal current readings indicate short circuit faults. This could be caused by
vegetation touching the fence line, a broken insulator etc. Lower than normal current readings
with the same voltage usually indicates a poor connection or a broken wire.
Sound setting
The handset beeps each time the energizer pulses whenever the fence wire is in the Fault finder
slot. This indicates that the energizer is on and the fence is live. The pitch of the sound rises
with the magnitude of the current pulse. This is particularly useful when measuring currents in
different branches at a junction point, and when the display cannot be seen. If the power supply
to the fence has been switched off, the handset will not beep.
The sound can be disabled, if required (see the following instructions).
Disabling or enabling the sound
1 Move well away from the fence so that no fence pulse can be detected by the handset.
2 Press and hold
for 10 seconds until the handset beeps.

Caring for the handset
• Do not leave the handset in direct sunlight, for instance on a vehicle dashboard.

the speaker grill. The handset is water-resistant and should require no further attention.
