FAULT FINDING YOUR FENCE
Note: The current flow on the fence will vary depending
on the size of your Energizer, any vegetation and the size of
our fence network. With time you will learn normal current
flow on your fence. To obtain the best results from your
Fault Finder, Gallagher recommends that you check the
current while the fence is operating without any faults. Then,
when you suspect there is a fault on the fence line, you can
compare the current flow with the "normal" current flow.
This will indicate whether a fault exists and, if so, how much
the fault is affecting the performance of the fence.
1. The Arrow on the LCD will indicate which direction the
current is flowing.
2. Following the direction of
the current, take readings
approx. every 50 - 100m or
at junction points along your
fence line.
Note: At a junction point,
follow the wire with the
highest current flow.
3. A fault is indicated by a drop in current flow between two
checkpoints. The fault will be somewhere between the
two checkpoints.
Note: The arrow will still point in the direction of the
current flow if greater than 1A.
4. To narrow down location of the fault, work back along the
fence checking the current flow at shorter intervals.
5. Correct the fault.
6. After correcting the fault you should see the current
reading drop and the voltage go up. If not, check for
further faults.
Handy Hint: Multi-wire fences connected in parallel
will have similar current flowing in each wire. To get the
total fence current flow, add together the current flow
in each wire.
