Electric fencing and your PATURA energiser
Congratulations on the purchase of your energiser. This product has been designed 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.
How does an electric fence work?
An electric fence system comprises an energiser and an insulated fence. The energiser 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.
• F lexibility 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.
• M inimises damage to expensive livestock when compared with other fencing mechanisms, for
example barbed wire.
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 20 second delay
before the full energy of the energiser 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
energiser. 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.
