Recommended
Uses
A
FenceAlert warning light should be placed on every electric fence
that is passed during hours of darkness, especially alongside roads,
driveways and around buildings. The FenceAlert provides an instant
warning of low or intermittent voltages and hence the risk of animals
escaping.
The
FenceAlert can be used on permanent and temporary fencing. The tall
clip allows the FenceAlert to be attached to fencing wire from 16
gauge to 8 gauge, or onto electric tape up to 1 1/2".
Operating
Instructions
1.
Switch on to high trigger setting and clip onto fence
2.
Flashing light indicates low or intermittent voltage
Trigger
level 2 (highest setting) will activate the flashing light when
fence voltage drops below about 2.5 kV, and trigger level 1 (Low
setting) will activate the flashing light below about 1.5kV. The
actual voltages at which these triggers operate may vary slightly
for different fence constructions.
FenceAlert
continuously monitors the fence for the life of the battery. So
when a fault that activates the flashing light is then cleared,
the FenceAlert stops the flashing light and continues to monitor
the fence.
The
battery provides sufficient power for up to 5 years on STANDBY -
the fenceAlert is monitoring the fence voltage but no fault occurs
to activate the flashing light. Or, the battery will provide sufficient
power for up to 2 weeks ACTIVE - a new battery will power the flashing
light continuously for up to 2 weeks if a fault occurs. Or, the
battery will provide sufficient power for a minimum of 72 hours
ACTIVE after 2 years on STANDBY - after 2 years of monitoring the
fence voltage, the battery will still power the flashing light for
at least 72 hours if a fault occurs.
To test
the FenceAlert, unclip the unit from the fence and the light should
flash within 10 seconds. If the light is dim or does not flash, then
replace the battery with a CR2032 lithium button cell. This is a common
style of battery that is readily available.
FenceAlert
works with all pulsed energizers.
In cases
of low voltage, use a 5 light voltmeter or Digital Voltmeter to help
locate faults.
