What voltage is required to control animals?
4 kV is widely accepted as an adequate voltage to control animals. However, you also require a
well constructed fence system to ensure that animals cannot push through electrified wires.
The fence voltage is below 4 kV. How do I increase the voltage?
Check the energiser. Ensure that the energiser is on, and is operating at full energy.
Disconnect the fence wire from the energiser's fence output terminal. Measure the voltage across
the energiser terminals using a Fault Finder or a Digital Voltmeter. If the voltage is less than 6 kV,
the energiser may require servicing
Check the fence system for faults. The most common source of low voltage is faults on the fence
line or an underperforming earth system.
If the fence, earth and energiser are in good condition and the voltage is still below 4 kV, talk to
your nearest reseller. Recent extensions to your fence, a poor fence layout, or soil conditions may
be causing inadequate voltage.
How do I locate faults?
The recommended tool for locating faults is a Fault Finder. This has a combined voltage and
current meter which allows you to rapidly locate sources of current leakage. Alternatively, use a
Digital Voltmeter. Use cut-out switches to turn off the power to different sections of the farm. If the
voltage on the fence increases when a section of the farm is turned off, then investigate that
section for possible faults.
There are no lights flashing on the energiser
Ensure the battery is correctly connected and the Selector switch is not set to Off. Check the
battery – it may need recharging or replacing. Check the fence system for faults (see above). If
the energiser still does not operate, it may require servicing.
