The current reading is particularly high indicating there is a fault somewhere on
the fence line. The significant reduction in current between the two readings (24 A
and 3 A) indicates that the fault is located somewhere between these points on
the fence line.
Earth wire return
The current readings are low in several places, indicating there is no fault on the
fence line.
The current readings are particularly high indicating there is a fault somewhere on
the fence line. The significant reduction in current between readings helps to
identify the location of the fault. In this case, the two wires with abnormally high
readings may be connecting with each other, causing a fault. The bottom wire has
consistently low current readings indicating that this wire is OK.
Note:
Current readings taken within 1 m (3') of an energizer may not be
completely accurate due to the magnetic field surrounding the energizer.
To find a fault in the fence line:
1 Start close to where the energizer lead-out wire connects to the fence.
2 Press
3 Insert the fence wire into the Fault finder slot, ensuring that the fence wire
touches the Fault finder contact. Note the current reading (in amperes) in
large numbers.
4 Travelling in the direction of the current flow, work your way along the
fence line taking readings at regular intervals and at all junction points. At
a junction, follow the branch that indicates an abnormal current reading.
Each time you take a reading, compare it with the previous reading (this
displays briefly in the top, right-hand corner of the screen each time the
handset is turned on).
5 A significant reduction in current between one point and the next indicates
the presence of a fault between these two points.
6 Move back in the direction of the previous reading until the fault is located.
Notes:
-
Higher than normal current readings indicate short circuit faults. This could
be caused by vegetation touching the fence line, a broken insulator etc.
Lower than normal current readings with the same voltage usually indicates
a poor connection or a broken wire.
-
On an earth-wire-return fence, readings taken on the earth wire will show
the current direction flowing towards the energizer.
