Electric fencing and your energizer
Congratulations on the purchase of your energizer. This product has been
constructed using the latest technology and construction techniques. It has
been engineered to give superior performance and many years of service.
It is important to read these instructions carefully and thoroughly. They
contain important safety information and will assist you in ensuring that
your electric fencing system gives maximum performance and reliability.
Parts of the energizer
How does an electric fence work?
An electric fence system comprises an energizer and an insulated fence.
The energizer puts very short pulses of electricity onto the fence line. These
pulses have a high voltage, but are of very short duration (less than
3/10,000ths of a second). However, a shock from an electric fence pulse is
very uncomfortable and animals quickly learn to respect electric fences. An
electric fence is not only a physical barrier, but is also a strong
psychological barrier.
What are the benefits of an electric fence?
An electric fence has many benefits over conventional fencing:
Requires less labour and materials to construct.
•
•
Flexibility to change or add paddocks when required. The use of strip
grazing techniques can allow temporary fencing to be quickly and
easily erected or removed.
Controls a broader range of animals.
•
•
Minimises damage to expensive livestock when compared with other
fencing mechanisms, for example barbed wire.
Models covered by this manual
This manual covers various energizer models:
15000i, X15i, 415i
Note:
The energizers listed here may not be available in all markets.
Additional performance features
Additional performance features required by European Safety Standards
are also included:
Time delay - If a person touches the fence, this unit is designed to provide
a 15 second delay before the full energy of the energizer is delivered. This
allows time for the person to move away from the fence.
Alarm - If a heavy load is suddenly applied to a lightly loaded fence, an
alarm will sound on the energizer. The alarm will remain on until either the
load is removed or 10 minutes elapses. If the alarm sounds, check the
electric fence and remove anything entangled in the wires.
European 15 J unigizers. These energizers have an
LCD display, an earth monitoring feature, a low
energy terminal and remote control capabilities
