1. Check the electrical connections
are secure eg. from the fence to the
red (FENCE) terminal, from the ground
system to the green (GROUND)
terminal, at gates etc.
2. Check the voltage on the fence
every 33m (100ft). Note if the voltage
is dropping. The closer to a fault, the
lower the voltage reading will be.
Become aware of things that cause
faults and always be on the lookout
for: stray pieces of wire on the fence,
heavy undergrowth, cracked or
broken insulators, broken wires etc.

supply.
If the power
