Test fence line voltage regularly with a fence tester at the furthest point on the fence
from the fence energizer to ensure voltage is adequate for the animal being controlled.
Inadequate voltage
Adequate voltage
reading –
fence line OK
Ensure power supply is sufficient
(battery/AC/solar power)
Replace/repair battery
or AC power to
fence energizer
If power OK, disconnect FENCE and GROUND wires
from fence energizer, then check voltage output by
touching metal part of terminals with tester.
If output is normal (over 2,000 volts),
reconnect FENCE/GROUND wires
If output is less than 2,000 volts there is a
fence energizer fault. Call us for assistance.
Test ground system – it should read less than 400 volts on ground rod. If over 400 volts,
add extra ground rods or make them deeper. Test again/add more ground rods until
ground system reads under 400 volts. Remember grounding is aected by soil conditions.
If grounding is OK, test the hook-up wire that connects the fence energizer to
the fence line. Disconnect hook-up wire from fence line and test .
Under 1,500 volts
Hook-up wire is leaking to ground.
Ensure you are using 20 KV insulated
hook-up wire. Replace and recheck.
Over 1,500 volts
Turn o fence energizer and reconnect
the hook-up wire to fence line.
