HOW THE ENERGIZER WORKS

The energizer sends electrical pulses along the fence line, about one
second apart. These pulses give the livestock a short, sharp, but safe
shock. The shock doesn't harm the livestock. It is suffi ciently memorable
that the livestock never forgets the shock, and will avoid the fence.
Practical Hints
• Check your local ordinance on fencing laws: local laws may require
a permit before use.
• Periodically check that the energizer is opera ng by checking that
the indicator light is fl ashing.
• Check the fence periodically. Remove any fallen branches, weeds
or shrubs because these will cause the fence to short out and will
reduce livestock control.
• All livestock need me to learn to respect the fence. It may take
several days to train the livestock and the fence may require minor
adjustments.
• Livestock that are prone to jumping may be diffi cult to confi ne.
You may need to try diff erent fence heights to determine the best
height.
• Use top quality insulators: low quality or cracked insulators and
plas c tubing are not recommended because they will cause
shor ng.
• Use joint clamps on all steel wire connec ons to ensure a high
quality circuit.
