INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
A.
Open side panel (battery compartment) of
energizer and connect battery. Attach black wire
(– negative)
to black terminal and red (+ positive) to
red terminal. Replace panel.
B.
With a dead blow hammer (sold separately
#205015) or using your hand strength, insert into
the ground, the full length of the T ground rod.
If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line,
their height above the ground shall not exceed 6 ft.
This height applies to either side of the orthogonal projection of the outermost conductors of the power
line on the ground surface, for a distance of:
— 6.6 ft for power lines operating at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1000V;
— 49 ft for power line operating at a nominal voltage exceeding 1000V
Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrified gate shall be incorporated
in the electric animal fence at that point or a crossing by means of stiles shall be provided. At any such
crossing, the adjacent electrified wires shall carry warning signs. In areas of public access, use an electric
fence warning sign (#346000) every 33 ft to identify the electrified wire(s).
Any part of an
electric animal fence
that is installed along a public road or pathway shall be identified
at frequent intervals by warning signs securely fastened to the fence posts or firmly clamped to the
fence wires.
Ensure that all 110V-operated, ancillary equipment connected to the electric animal fence circuit
provides a degree of isolation between the fence circuit and the supply 110V equivalent to that provided
by the energizer.
Protection from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary equipment unless this equipment is
certified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum
degree of protection.
Read for special applications
• of electric fences in pastures:
Train livestock to electric fencing prior to entry into pastures. Allow
livestock to approach an electric fence for the first time in a low stress situation.
• of electric fences in zoos and game reserves:
The mounting of such installations may only be
carried out of trained specialist, a mechanical barrier must be provided which separates the electric
fence from visitors.
• of Game Fencing:
electric fencing has been used widely throughout the world for game animals,
deer, bears, elk and elephant. Electric fences are a psychological barrier and should not be
considered a complete physical barrier fence. With any electric fence occasional animal penetration
may occur (as with any other type of fence). It is important for game fencing to have power on the
fence the same day as the fence is constructed. Animals investigating the new obstruction will be
shocked and will relate the shock to the new obstruction. If no power is on the fence and animals
learn to walk through the fencing system with no electric shock, this causes major problems later on
since they will not relate the electric shock to the fence after the power is turned on. An electric fence
is not recommended for animals under hunting pressure. For specific questions on game fencing
contact your dealer.

Warning: In 1991 an accidental fatality occurred when a young child’s head contacted an electrified fence while the
child was crawling on wet grass. The fence was correctly installed and functioning properly. The energizer was a UL
approved unit. As a result, Premier strongly advises against allowing toddlers access to any electrified fences. Also,
due to this incident and others, experts now suggest that human contact by an energized wire to the head and neck
may be the most dangerous point of contact. We urge all to especially avoid this kind of contact.
C.
Attach the wiring harness to the energizer and to
the fence:
1. Turn off energizer.
2. Remove the black terminal knob on
the energizer.
3. Take the wire with the black clip and place the
ring connector over ground terminal stud.
4. Replace knob and tighten to secure.
5. Attach the black clip to the ground rod.
6. Remove the red terminal knob on
the energizer.
7. Take the wire with the orange clip and place
the ring connector over fence terminal stud.
8. Replace knob and tighten to secure.
9. Attach the orange clip to the stainless steel
connector at the end post of the netting or to
the end of a stranded fence.
