Once the energizer's remote control feature has been activated, you will
not need to perform the activation procedure again.
Note:
-
If the energizer is not successfully activated within the first 10 minutes
of operation, you will need to switch the energizer off and on before
you can try again.
-
You can disable the remote control feature at any time. For
instructions, see the remote control handset's user manual. If you do
not have a remote control handset, take the energizer to an
authorised service centre to have the feature disabled.
The remote control handset
The remote control handset is three tools in one. It acts as a:
Remote control – Switching the energizer on or off from remote
locations on the electric fence system.
Fault finder – Assisting in the location of faults anywhere on the
fence system.
Voltmeter/Ammeter – Providing instant feedback on fence
performance (voltage and current)
For detailed instructions on using the remote control handset, refer to the
user manual supplied with the handset. Alternatively, the latest copy of the
user manual can be downloaded from www.tru-testgroup.com
Warning!
The energizer will reactivate following a power failure, even
if it was switched off by a remote control handset before the power
failure. The fence should be regarded as live at all times, regardless of
the energizer switch position or the remote control status. If you are
working on a section of fence, isolate the section with a cut-out switch,
or disconnect the energizer from its power source.
Building a permanent electric fence
Components of an electric fence
An electric fence system comprises the following elements:
An energizer.
An earth system.
This comprises a number of metal rods inserted into
the ground, which are connected to the Fence earth terminal on the
energizer.
Insulated underground cables.
plastic, suitable for use underground or going through walls. Used to
connect the energizer to the earth and fence.
An insulated fence.
Connected to the Fence output terminal of the
energizer. Fences can be made to a variety of designs (see below).
Other useful components that can be added:
Cut-out switches
. Installed at regular intervals, these allow
you to isolate sections of the fence for repair.
Lightning diverter kit
energizer from lightning conducted down the fence line.
Electric fence wire coated in insulated
. Used to minimise the damage to your
Typical installation
For an electric fence to give an electric shock, the current produced by the
energizer must complete a full circuit. The current leaves the energizer and
moves along the fence wires through the animal, into the soil and back to
the energizer via the earth system. If the earth system is ineffective, the
animal will receive an inadequate shock. The fence below has all live
wires and requires conductive soils. This type of earthing system is often
referred to as an 'all-live' or 'earth-return' earthing system.
Alternative installation
Dry, sandy or non-conductive soil (e.g. volcanic soil) provides ineffective
earthing. For this type of soil it is a good idea to use additional earth rods,
choose a better location for the earth system (such as damp soil), or use a
'fence-return' or 'earth-wire-return' earthing system.
For a 'fence-return'/'earth-wire-return' earthing system, the Fence earth
terminal is connected directly to at least one non-electrified fence wire
(earth wire). The animal gets maximum shock from touching a live wire
and an earth wire at the same time.
Lowering the energy output
In some areas, it may be desirable to lower the energy output, for example
where there is likely to be unsupervised children who will be unaware of
the dangers of electric fencing (e.g. around a house or next to a public
roadway).
If the Fence low energy terminal (yellow) is used, the output energy will
not exceed 1.5 J, however the output voltage remains the same.
There are several possible configurations when using the Fence low energy
terminal (yellow):
The Fence low energy terminal (yellow) can be used as an alternative
to the Fence high energy terminal (red) on any fence. In this case, the
fence will receive lower output energy.
The Fence low energy terminal (yellow) can be used to supply a
separate fence (e.g. house fence or roadside fence) while the Fence
high energy terminal (red) is being used to supply the main farm
fence. In this case, the main farm fence will receive full output energy
and the separate fence will receive lower output energy.
Note:
If both terminals are inadvertently connected to different parts of
the same fence system, the entire fence will be supplied with full output
energy (as if it were connected to the Fence high energy terminal (red)).
When using the Fence low energy terminal (yellow) and the Fence high
energy terminal (red) at the same time, ensure that the fence systems they
are connected to are completely separate.
