Tru-Test speedrite Delta Mains Manuel D'instructions page 4

See the diagram below to install the Delta energizer:
Connect the Earth terminal to a separate earth
1
system that is at least 10 m (30') away from other
earth systems.
Connect the Fence terminal to the fence.

Operation
- Keep this manual in a handy location.
- Carefully read all the Safety Considerations on
page 5.
- Carefully check your installation to ensure that it
complies with all local safety regulations.
Turn on the power supply.

Building a Permanent Electric Fence
Components of an electric fence
An electric fence system comprises the following
elements:
An energizer.
∆
An earth system. This comprises a number of
∆
metal rods inserted into the ground, which are
connected to the Earth terminal on the energizer.
Speedrite insulated underground cables. Used
∆
to connect the energizer to the earth and fence.
An insulated fence. Connected to the Fence
∆
terminal of the energizer. Fences can be made to
a variety of designs (see below).
Note: The animal receives a shock when it completes a
circuit between the fence and the earth system. The
fence below has all live wires and requires conductive
soils. These fences are often referred to as 'all-live' or
'earth-return' fences.
Other useful components that can be added:
Cut-out switches. Installed at regular
intervals, these allow you to isolate sections
of the fence for repair.
Lightning diverter kit. Used to minimise the
damage to your energizer from lightning
conducted down the fence line.
Alternative installation
For poor conductivity soils (dry or sandy), a 'fence-
return' or 'earth-wire-return' system is recommended.
On these fences the Earth terminal is connected directly
to at least one of the fence wires. The animal gets
maximum shock from touching a live and earth wire at
the same time.
