- Page 27 Frequently asked questions/Troubleshooting\ How do I increase fence voltage? Sometimes recent extensions to your fence, a poor fence layout, or soil conditions may be causing inadequate voltage. To check the electric fence charger, disconnect it from the fence and the ground system. Measure the voltage across the electric fence charger terminals with a digital voltmeter.
- Page 28 enhance your electric fence energizer's performance. The best method to locate a short circuit fault is to use a special fault finder. These products save considerable time by directing you straight to the fault. Another tool used to locate faults is a digital voltmeter. When using a digital voltmeter, simply isolate sections of your fence by opening cut-out switches or otherwise disconnecting sections of the fence from the main lead out wire/s.
