Sheep, goats, cattle and horses
10 m (33') spacing, posts only
15 m (49') spacing with droppers
Wild animals
7 wire, 10 m (33') spacing with droppers
End assemblies
Angle stay
Suitable for field gate, high-tension strainer.
After firmly setting the footed strainer in the ground, dig in the stay
block just below ground level, at a distance to ensure the angle stay will
be held snugly in position. The stay can be levered into position with a
spade.
All-live system
Fence-return system
Horizontal stay
Suitable for field gate, high-tension strainer.
Very simple to erect and most suitable as a high tension strainer,
excellent in areas where the soil gets very wet or where heavy frost
occurs.
Installing and testing an earth system
Select a suitable site for the earth system. Sites need to be:
At least 10 m (33') from other earth systems (e.g. telephone,
•
mains power or the earth system of another energizer).
Away from stock or other traffic that could interfere with the
•
installation.
At a site that can be easily observed for maintenance.
•
Ideally at a site that has damp soil (e.g. a shaded or swampy
•
location). Note that the earth does not need to be directly
adjacent to the energizer installation.
Drive four 2 m (6'6") earth rods into the ground. Use high-voltage,
insulated cable and earth clamps to continuously connect the earth rods
and the energizer's Fence earth terminal. Make sure the insulation is
stripped back to ensure good contact between the wire and the earth
rod.
Test the earth system, using the following procedure:
1 Turn off the energizer.
2 At least 100 m (330') away from the energizer, short circuit the
fence by laying several steel rods or lengths of pipe against the
fence. In dry or sandy conditions, it may be necessary to drive the
rods up to 300 mm (12") into the earth.
Note:
It is not acceptable to short-circuit a fence return system to
the earth wire of the fence.
3 Turn the energizer back on.
4 Using an electric fence voltmeter, ensure that the fence voltage is
below 2 kV.
Check your earth system.
5
the ground at the full extent of the lead, and clip the other lead to
the last earth rod. The voltmeter should not read more than
0.8 kV. Anything higher than this indicates that better earthing is
required. Either add more earth rods or find a better ground area
to drive in the earth rods.
Note:
When earthing energizers located in dairies, earth at least 20 m
(65') away from the dairy using double-insulated lead-out wire to avoid
touching the dairy building or equipment.
Temporary electric fencing
A temporary fence can be quickly erected and easily moved allowing the
farmer to:
Make smaller paddocks (fields)
•
Keep herds of animals separated
•
Ration feed
•
Insert the voltmeter's earth probe into
