Tru-Test speedrite Delta Mains Manuel D'instructions page 10

the sign shall be black and shall be either:
or the substance of "CAUTION: Electric security
fence".
The inscription shall be indelible, inscribed on both
∆
sides of the warning sign and have a height of at
least 25 mm.
Ensure that all mains operated, ancillary equipment
connected to the electric security fence circuit provides
a degree of isolation between the fence circuit and the
supply mains equivalent to that provided by the
energizer.
Mains supply wiring shall not be installed in the same
conduit as signalling leads associated with the electric
security fence installation.
Protection from the weather shall be provided for the
ancillary equipment unless this equipment is certified
by the manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors,
and is of a type with a minimum degree of protection
IPX4.
Frequently Asked Questions/
Troubleshooting
What voltage is required to control animals?
4 kV is widely accepted as the recommended minimum
voltage to control animals. However, you also require a
well constructed fence system to ensure that animals
cannot push through electrified wires.
The fence voltage is below 4 kV. How do I increase the
voltage?
Check the energizer. Disconnect the energizer from
the fence and earth system. Measure the voltage
across the energizer terminals with a Speedrite Fault
Finder, DVM or Lite Tester. If the voltage is less than
6 kV, request your Speedrite service agent to check the
energizer.
Check the energizer earthing. Use the procedure
described in Installing and testing an earth system on
page 4.
Check your fence system for faults. The most
8
common source of low voltage is faults on the fence
line.
If the fence, earth and energizer are in good condition
and the voltage is still below 4 kV, talk to your
Speedrite distributor. They will help you identify
whether recent extensions to your fence, a poor fence
layout, or soil conditions may be causing inadequate
voltage.
How do I locate faults?
The recommended tool for locating faults is the
Speedrite Fault Finder. This combined voltage and
current meter allows you to rapidly locate sources of
current leakage. Alternatively, use a Speedrite DVM or
Lite Tester. Use cut-out switches to turn off the power
to different sections of the farm. If the voltage on the
fence increases when a section of the farm is turned
off, then investigate that section for possible faults.
There are no lights flashing on the Delta energizer.
Check the power supply. Ensure that the power is
switched on. If the energizer still does not operate,
request your Speedrite service agent to check the
energizer.
Servicing
This energizer contains no user serviceable parts. It
must be returned to a Speedrite-appointed service
agent for repair. If the supply cord is damaged it must
only be replaced by a Speedrite-appointed service
agent, as a special cord is required.
This energizer uses Double Insulation, where two
systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No equipment grounding means is
provided in the supply cord of a double-insulated
energizer, nor should a means for equipment
grounding be added to the energizer. Servicing a
double-insulated energizer requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system and should only be done by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated energizer must be identical to the
parts they replace. A double-insulated energizer is
marked with the words DOUBLE INSULATION or
DOUBLE INSULATED and/or the symbol below.
