A card is included with your energizer to allow you to record fence voltage and
current. Do this when your fence is operating well and store the card by the
energizer. This will greatly assist with fault finding.
Earth System Voltage and Alarm
View the earth system performance by pressing the navigation buttons (< or >) while
the energizer is operating until the zone indication arrow (

installed. If there is no reference earth it will display 0.0KV. If the earth voltage rises
above the earth alarm level (default 0.5KV) the status LED will flash red, the earth
zone indicator will be highlighted and the internal buzzer will sound on the energizer.
The buzzer can be muted by pressing any key on the controller.
See Adjusting / Turning Off Alarms (p.15) to adjust or turn off the earth system alarm.

Testing the earth system
a) Turn the energizer off. At least 40m (130ft) along the fence line drive a steel
stake into damp soil and connect it to the fence wire.
b) Turn the energizer on and wait 30 seconds. Check the earth system voltage
using the navigation keys. The earth voltage should be 0.2 – 0.3KV or less. If
it is higher add earth stakes until 0.2-0.3KV is achieved. In dry conditions or
areas with low mineral content soil an earth return system may be required as
described in the Gallagher Power Fence™ Manual or visit www.gallagher.co.

Current is too high. Reduce the loading on your
fence by fixing faults or increase the current
