Application Tips

The fence voltage can be measured from any position on the fencing system and can be used to measure the output voltage directly from the electric fencing unit. Voltage pulses between 200 and 9,900 volts can be measured. Voltage pulses over 10,000 are indicated with “HI”.
The tester works with a 9 volt battery (included in delivery) and switches itself on and off.

To use the tester place it between the earth (earth post) and fence (contact ear)
According to VDE voltage results >2000 volts are considered safe. The higher the voltage the more effective the fencing system.
High voltages and impulses rich in energy, demand a special voltage resistant constructed fence. Here iron posts should not be used, only in conjuction with special insulators. Arking on insulators and iron posts causes the voltage to go down. Therefore the power consumption rises and some voltage will go to earth.

Voltage to the earth post

Here, heavy currents which flow back to the earth post produce at the earth resistance a noticeable voltage working in steps.
ATTENTION: If voltage can be measured at the earth post, there are

  1. drains in the fencing system and
  2. the earth conductivity near the earth posts could be better (drill several earth posts into humid ground)

Therefore:  In case of voltage at the earth post one has to elimate the conductance at the fence and the grounding has to be improved !

Damaged isolators on iron posts can also be found. The post with none or with the lowest indication is damaged. The arking of the spark works as a voltage limitation. The voltage potentials at both measuring points is almost equal so that you get none or only low voltage data.
