Installation of ELEPHANT Energizer
Before you start the installation of the
controller it is important that the instructions
are studied carefully. A correct installation is
essential if you want an optimal functionality
of your Energizer.
Earth Connection
In order that your electric fence generates
the best possible shock, it is important
that the connection to earth is perfect. An
earth rod is usually 2 m long and produced
in 20-25 mm galvanised iron pipe. It is
recommended that the earth rod be inserted
at least 1.5 m into the earth. The connection
from the energizers earth clamp to the earth
rod can be a piece of galvanised fence wire.
You can also use a high-voltage cable. Never
use a standard electrical cable. Secure the
connection to the earth rod with a stainless
collar band or a stainless/galvanised steel
bolt.
See also "Testing your fence/earth
connection".
The connection to the fence
If the Energizer is placed a long distance
from the fence, the use of high-voltage cable
is recommended to connect the fencing clip
on the controller to the wire connection.
Especially in tunnels or alongside buildings
high-voltage insulated fencing cable must
be used. Normal electric wire must never be
used.
Testing your fence/earth connection
At least a 100 mtrs away from the earthing
system, measure with a digital voltmeter
(art.nr.:4002227) if the current is more than
3000 V. Create a short circuit by putting iron
posts against the fence-wire. If the current
measured on the earthing system is more
than 300V more earthing rods need to be
placed (distance 3 mtrs). Repeat the test.

Possible faults
• Poor earth connection
See how to create a perfect earth connection
under "Testing your fence/earth connection".
• Poor wire joints
Poor insulators, especially on iron poles.
Spark flashover on a fence pole can often be
heard clearly.
If the connection to earth, wire joints and
insulators is in working order, you can
assume that the fence is generating an even
current all around the enclosure.
Guarantee
If your electric fence is not working properly,
you must dismantle it and return it to where
you bought it. Remember to bring your
receipt. Electric fences that are less than
3 years old are repaired free of charge, on
the condition that the damage has not been
caused by unauthorised intervention or by
the device having been connected to an
incorrect voltage. The guarantee does not
cover misuse, neglect or lightening damage.
There is no guarantee or compensation for
indirect damage.
