The fence voltage is below 4 kV. How do I increase the
voltage?
Check the energizer. Disconnect the energizer from the
fence and earth system. Measure the voltage across the
energizer terminals with a Tru-Test Fault Finder, DVM or Lite
Tester. If the voltage is less than 6 kV, request your Tru-Test
service agent to check the energizer.
Check the energizer earthing. Use the procedure described in
Installing and testing an earth system on page 7.
Check your fence system for faults. The most common
source of low voltage is faults on the fence line.
If the fence, earth and energizer are in good condition and
the voltage is still below 4 kV, talk to your Tru-Test
distributor. They will help you identify whether recent
extensions to your fence, a poor fence layout, or soil
conditions may be causing inadequate voltage.
How do I locate faults?
If you have purchased a 36 J RS or a 36 J RSE, use the
Remote Control Handset to locate faults. See
Using the fault
finder on page 3. If you have an 15 J R/RE, 20 J R/RE, or
36 J R/RE, the recommended tool for locating faults is the
Tru-Test Fault Finder. This combined voltage and current
meter allows you to rapidly locate sources of current leakage.
Alternatively, use a Tru-Test DVM or Lite Tester. Use cut-out
switches to turn off the power to different sections of the
farm. If the voltage on the fence increases when a section of
the farm is turned off, then investigate that section for
possible faults.
There are no lights flashing on the energizer.
Check the power supply. Ensure that the power is switched
on. If the energizer still does not operate, request your Tru-
Test service agent to check the energizer.
The energizer does not respond to commands from the
Remote Control Handset.
•
Ensure that the remote contact on the Remote Control
Handset is in contact with the fence wire before
pressing
or . (Holding the button down for an
extended period will not make the remote control work
better.) After pressing
or , wait for two seconds
for the ON or OFF message to disappear from the
display, as the energizer may send out a final pulse after
receiving the signal to deactivate. Similarly, allow two
seconds for the energizer to send out its first pulse after
receiving the command to reactivate.
•
If the symbol is displayed on the Remote Control
Handset, replace the 9 V alkaline battery and try again.
•
Rusty or oxidised wire can hamper the quality of the
signal you receive. To obtain a clear signal, rub the
Remote contact against the fence wire to break through
the layer of rust or oxidation.
•
Ensure that no spring gates or cut-out switches have
been left open. Sometimes the remote control will work
in spite of minor breaks in the wire, although reliable
operation under such conditions is not guaranteed.
•
Check for spark gaps and loose wire joints in the fence.
Severe or multiple spark gaps reduce the effectiveness of
the remote control.
•
Use the fault finding function to locate faults in the
fence line. See
Using the fault finder on page 3.
•
Check all connections to the fence and the earth system.
Ensure that the energizer is connected to the power
supply and the fence system and that the energizer is
switched on.
•
Try turning the energizer on and off by holding the
Remote contact against the lead-out wire, or by holding
the remote control close to the energizer (within 150 to
300 mm [6 to 12”]). If the energizer still doesn't
respond, then the remote control and energizer may
have different address settings. See
Changing the
energizer's address setting on page 5 and Activating the
remote control function of a Remote Ready energizer on
page 5.
The energizer sometimes turns off unexpectedly
•
An adjacent property may have an energizer operating
at the same address setting. Change the energizer’s
address setting. See
Changing the energizer's address
setting on page 5. If the problem persists, seek advice
from your Tru-Test distributor.
Identifying faults using the LED display
What do the light sequences on the LED display mean?
Different light sequences indicate different things. But there
are certain light sequences that you must pay attention to
more than others.
If...
This means that...
At each pulse, you see
only red lights (no
green lights). The fence may be heavily loaded
[voltage below or around 3 kV
(3000 V)], Look for faults, e.g. short
circuit or arcing faults. If no faults
can be found, disconnect the
energizer from the fence to see if the
green lights illuminate on the
energizer. If the green lights are
visible, then the energizer is
operating normally. This may
indicate that the energizer is not
sufficient for the length of the fence.
Try subdividing the fence.
The 10th light
segment flashes
rapidly, a few other
light segments are
illuminated, and the
energizer doesn’t
work.
The energizer has diagnosed a fault
and should be returned to the service
centre for repair.
The 10th light
segment flashes
rapidly, a few other
light segments are
illuminated, but the
energizer resumes
pulsing after some
time, and this
happens quite often.
The energizer has diagnosed a fault
and should be returned to the service
centre as soon as possible.
The 10th light
segment flashes
rapidly, and the 3rd
and 6th light
segments are
illuminated.
The energizer is too hot to operate
safely. This generally happens in
places that experience high day-time
temperatures. The energizer will
resume normal operation when the
temperature cools down sufficiently.
36 J energizers only -
The energizer is
pulsing, and the 10th
light segment is
illuminated.
The energizer has switched to the
full-power mode, because there is a
heavy load on the fence. See
Full-
power mode (36 J energizers only)
on page 3 for more information.
