FENCING LAWS: Most states have laws defining what constitutes a legal partition
fence or a fence along a highway or railway. Local ordinances usually specify accept-
able fencing between adjacent home lots. In addition, local laws may prohibit the use
of electric fence energizers. A permit may be required in some cases.
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS: SS-725 and SS-750 plug into a standard 120
volt/60 Hz outlet. NOTE: Some models are designed for a 230 volt 50/60 Hz input.
Check the energizer's label for the correct input requirement.
ACTIVATING THE ENERGIZER: Simply plug the power supply cord into a standard
wall outlet. If an extension cord is used, be sure that it is suitable for the application.
FENCE INSTALLATION: Drive the fence posts 3–6" (7.6–15 cm) into the ground
away from branches and stems of shrubs and plants. Drive a ground rod into the soil
(preferably soil which stays moist) until only 2" (5 cm) remain above the ground. Slide
the ground clamp onto the rod and tighten the clamp so that a minimal amount of pres-
sure against it will not cause it to slide up or down the rod. Refer to Illustration 2. Firm-
ly secure a length of electric fence wire to the ground rod by feeding the wire between
the clamp and rod, then tighten the screw. Connect the other end of the wire to the
ground terminal of the fence energizer by wrapping the wire once around the terminal
between the two washers, then securely tighten the wing nut.
Connect the fence wire to the fence terminal of the energizer and attach the wire to
the fence posts with the enclosed cotter pins. Place a cotter pin through the hole in the
fence post at the height you wish the fence wire to be, then bend the ends of the cot-
ter pin back to keep the cotter pin securely fastened to the post. Thread the wire
through the cotter pin as shown in the illustrations. NOTE: THE COTTER PIN WILL
BECOME "HOT" WHEN THE ENERGIZER IS ACTIVATED. You may also simply
thread the wire through the holes in the posts without using cotter pins. Since the pole
is plastic, the wire will not be grounded.
When you reach the end of the fence, wrap the wire securely around the cotter pin
on the last post. For maximum efficiency, add another level of wire by simply continu-
ing the wire on the last post to another level of holes and back down the fence as
shown in Illustration 1. The minimum distance between the fence wire and the earth
should be 6" (15 cm) to avoid contact with grass and ground covers which will short
out the fence. Do not allow the fence wire to touch anything but the plastic fence posts
or the cotter pins.
You may lengthen the electric fence up to a range of 1 mile (1.6 km). Simply add
more electric fence wire to the original by splicing the two wires together as shown in
Figure A or by using a splice connector. The wire should be either smooth galvanized
or aluminum and can be any gauge between 12 and 20. Remember if you splice, the
connection must be tight. Always connect
aluminum to aluminum and galvanized wire
to galvanized wire. Avoid fence construc-
tions that might cause injury to animals or
humans.
ENERGIZER INSTALLATION: Install
the energizer in a clean, dry area where no
moisture can drip or blow onto it. Do not mount the unit on the ground or in any area
subject to direct sunlight or moisture. It is advisable to install the unit inside a weather-
proof box or close to a building with an overhang (see Illustration 1).
FENCE MAINTENANCE: Periodically inspect the fence line and remove vines,
brush growth and fallen branches which will short out the fence.
FUSES FOR MODEL SS-750: Replace fuses with 1/16 amp time-delay fuses only.
