Alternative installation
For soils with poor conductivity (dry, sandy or volcanic), a 'fence-return'
or 'earth-wire-return' system may be required in order to get optimum
performance from the energizer. On these fences, the Fence earth
terminal is connected directly to at least one of the fence wires. The
animal gets maximum shock from touching a live and earth wire at the
same time.
Fence designs
Fences can be constructed to suit the type of livestock and materials
available. Discuss with your re-seller which design best suits your
needs. Some suggested fence configurations are below.
Cattle and horses
10-15 m (33-49') spacing, posts only
15-20 m (49-65') spacing with droppers
Sheep, goats, cattle and horses
10 m (33') spacing, posts only
15 m (49') spacing with droppers
6
Wild animals
7 wire, 10 m (33') spacing with droppers
End assemblies
Angle stay
Suitable for field gate, high-tension strainer.
After firmly setting the footed strainer in the ground, dig in the stay
block just below ground level, at a distance to ensure the angle stay
will be held snugly in position. The stay can be levered into position
with a spade.
All-live system
Earth-return system
Horizontal stay
Suitable for field gate, high-tension strainer.
Very simple to erect and most suitable as a high tension strainer,
excellent in areas where the soil gets very wet or where heavy frost
occurs.
Installing and testing an earth system
Select a suitable site for the earth system. Sites need to be:
At least 10 m (33') from other earth systems (e.g. telephone,
•
mains power or the earth system from another energizer).
Away from stock or other traffic that could interfere with the
•
installation.
At a site that can be easily observed for maintenance.
