Troubleshooting - Patriot SolarGuard 155 User Manual

In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roosting on buildings, no electric fence wire shall be
connected to the unit's ground rod.
Ensure that all line-operated, ancillary equipment connected to the electric animal fence circuit provides a degree of
isolation between the fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that provided by the unit.
Protection from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary equipment unless this equipment is certified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum degree of protection IPX4.

Action
Check that all connections in the fence and ground system are firm and secure.
If necessary, clean away any corrosion.
Check that the ground rod is pushed firmly into firm ground.
Check for faults in the fence-line caused by trees or vegetation. If necessary,
remove obstructions and mend the fence.
Check that the unit (charger) rating is adequate for the length of the fence. If
necessary, reduce the length of the fence or reduce the number of fence wires.
Alternatively, divide the fence-line into smaller zones, with each zone powered
by a separate unit.
