Congratulations on your decision to purchase an ElectroBraid Fence
Minder™ for your horses.
The ElectroBraid™ Fence System is designed to minimize injuries and
secure horses safely. There are no sharp points or hard edges; no
boards to break or splinter.
Most severe fence injuries happen when a horse panics, or is chased
by another horse, and runs 'blind' into a rigid fence. ElectroBraid™
is a forgiving fence because it is resilient, like a boxing ring.
ElectroBraid™ tends to bounce the horse right back with little harm
to horse or fence!
ElectroBraid™ is a psychological barrier. We advise our customers
to always maintain at least 5,000 volts and good electrical grounding
to ensure their horses receive a significant electric shock - - not
just a "bee-sting". A shock from an approved electric fence energizer
is not harmful because the shock is low amperage for a tiny fraction
of a second (similar in duration to a static shock from your TV set).
A UL or CSA approved energizer won't harm a two-year-old child or
newborn foal.
Provided you verify your fence is properly grounded, and ensure your
fence is wired correctly and in good working order by regularly checking
your voltage with a digital voltmeter (all readings should be a minimum
of 5,000 volts to the soil), your Fence Minder™ will give you the
peace of mind of knowing that your ElectroBraid™ fence is keeping
your horses safe.
Your ElectroBraid Fence Minder™ will continuously check to make sure
your fence is functioning properly. If the fence is properly grounded
and wired correctly, your Fence Minder™ will warn you, day or night,
if it detects a significant voltage drop. If a horse is pressured
or panicked and contacts its fence for more than three or four seconds,
your Fence Minder™ will shut off your energizer to stop further electric
shocks; and immediately alert you by siren and/or by auto-dialing
your pre-programmed phone numbers.
WARNING: If you have poor grounding, poor connections
or broken wires, your Fence Minder™ will NOT be able to detect problems
on the fence line.
Injuries with ElectroBraid™ are very rare. If any
incident occurs, please call 1-888-430-3330 so we can help prevent
a future injury.
