3. Instruccions de funcionament
The Smart Fence Volt & Current Meter is designed for ease of use in the field. It can measure both voltage and current, and help pinpoint faults.
3.1. Measuring Voltage i Actual
To measure fence voltage i actual:
- Assegureu-vos que el dispositiu estigui encès.
- Connect the detachable earth lead to a good ground source (e.g., a ground rod or the fence's ground wire).
- Touch the retractable voltage probe to the fence wire you wish to test.
- The digital display will show both the voltage (kV) and current (A) readings.
Figure 3: The device is portable and easy to use, with a large LCD display showing voltage, current, and direction of flow.
3.2. Localització d'errors
The directional arrows on the display assist in locating faults quickly:
- Begin testing at the energizer or a known good point on the fence.
- Move along the fence line, taking readings at regular intervals.
- If a fault (e.g., a short circuit or significant voltage drop) is detected, the arrows on the display will indicate the direction of the fault.
- Follow the direction indicated by the arrows, continuing to take readings until the fault location is pinpointed. The current reading will typically increase significantly as you approach a short.

4. Manteniment
To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your Gallagher Smart Fence Volt & Current Meter, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Neteja: Netegeu el dispositiu amb un anunciamp drap per eliminar la brutícia i les restes. No utilitzeu productes de neteja abrasius ni dissolvents.
- Emmagatzematge: Store the meter in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
- Substitució de la bateria: The device is designed for long battery life (up to 3 years). Replace the 3V CR2 battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display or if readings become inconsistent. Refer to Section 2 for battery installation instructions.
- Durabilitat: The meter features a tough, impact- and water-resistant case, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, avoid submerging the device in water.

5. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| No display or device won't turn on. | Bateria morta o instal·lada incorrectament. | Check battery polarity. Replace the 3V CR2 battery. |
| Inaccurate or fluctuating readings. | Poor ground connection; low battery; interference. | Ensure the earth lead has a solid connection to ground. Replace battery. Move away from other electrical devices. |
| Arrows not indicating fault direction clearly. | Fault is very close; multiple faults; weak fence pulse. | Take readings closer together. Address obvious faults first. Check energizer output. |
| Device not detecting current. | No current flow on fence; device malfunction. | Verify energizer is on and fence is live. Ensure proper contact with fence wire. If problem persists, contact support. |
