FENCE CONTROLLER TERMS:

Amperage – the measurement of electric current; what you feel when you get shocked. The higher the amperage the more intense shock the animal will feel.
Distance ratings – use to compare fence controllers. Ratings are based on a single strand of 17 gauge steel wire strung 36” above the ground under ideal, weed-free laboratory conditions.
Joules – measure of electrical energy used to rate low impedance fence controllers. The effective power the controller delivers to the fence, independent of other factors that can drain voltage. The higher the joules, the more intense shock the animal will feel. (1 joule = 1 watt of power for 1 second)
Low impedance – low impedance controllers increase the joules (energy or shock) on the fence line if weeds or other vegetation touch the line.
Solid state – delivers medium amperage shock in medium duration pulses.
Volts – measurement of electrical pressure. Voltage “pushes” amperage down the fence wire.


ZAREBA K9 FENCE CONTROLLER: You can create your own fence using T-posts and poly wire or tape. Fence posts should be spaced 5-12 feet apart, depending on the shape and terrain of your yard. Wires should start close to the ground and then be spaced 4-6 inches apart. Use three to ten wires, depending on the size, personality and jumping ability of the dog. Because the wires are close to the ground, you should keep them free of vegetation. It's easy to set up. Just wrap each end of the perimeter wire onto the wing nut at the bottom. It uses direct discharge technology which eliminates the need for a grounding rod. With a maximum range of 1500 feet the K9 electric charger makes an excellent solution to keeping unwanted pets out of sensitive areas.

WRANGLER FENCER

GALLAGHER ALL-IN-ONE PORTABLE FENCE: The SmartFence T4100 is Gallagher's revolutionary new portable fencing system. It is a four-wire, fully-portable, all-in-one electric fence system that can be quickly and easily erected and dismantled by people with no prior temporary fencing experience. The origins of the SmartFence can be traced back to the Swiss Alps. Gallagher’s Swiss team first had the idea of creating a multi-wire fence, similar to a pull-out clothesline, where all the wires unwind at once. Such a simple concept eventually turned into the SmartFence product - an international success story set to redefine the concept of portable fencing. Unlike traditional temporary fencing which uses multiple reels and standards, the SmartFence is easy to carry and store and very simple to put up. Once erected and connected to an energizer, it provides an extremely safe, effective barrier for use in a wide range of situations. Check out the Gallagher website on this unique product.  http://www.gallagherusa.com/smartfence/

GROUNDING: Why is grounding so important? If the ground system is insufficient, electricity cannot find a path to the fencer and little or no shock is given. An animal provides this path when it touches the fence wire and the earth simultaneously. The electricity then passes through the animal into the soil and back to the ground rods, which are connected to the ground terminal of the fence controller. Only then is the circuit completed and the animal receives an electrical shock. Sandy, dry soils may require a ground-wire return system. Refer to the installation manual included with your fence controller.

WHY IS GROUNDING SO IMPORTANT? If the ground system is insufficient, electricity cannot find a path to the fencer and little or no shock is given. An animal provides this path when it touches the fence wire and the earth simultaneously. The electricity then passes through the animal into the soil and back to the ground rods, which are connected to the ground terminal of the fence controller. Only then is the circuit completed and the animal receives an electrical shock. Sandy, dry soils may require a ground-wire return system.

How to Ground Your System: A. Install the controller in a building or weatherproof area. Solar fence controllers should be mounted outside, facing the equator for maximum sun exposure. B. Drive three 6’ or 8’ ground rods (copper or galvanized metal) into permanently moist soil about 10’ apart and at least 50’ from other electrical grounds. If the soil is dry or subject to freezing part of the year, additional ground rods spaced 10’ apart may be needed. C. Connect the “ground” terminal on the fence controller to the ground rods with insulated wire and brass ground rod clamps. D. Connect the “fence” terminal on the controller to the fence wire.
