4. Configuració i instal·lació
Proper installation is crucial for the effective operation of your electric fence system. Follow these steps carefully:
- Muntatge de l'energitzador: Choose a dry, sheltered location for the energizer, such as inside a building or under a protective cover. Mount the unit securely to a wall or post using appropriate fasteners. Ensure it is easily accessible for power connection and monitoring.
- Sistema de connexió a terra: A robust grounding system is essential for optimal fence performance. Install at least one 6-foot (1.8m) galvanized ground rod into moist soil, away from building foundations and water pipes. For best results, especially in dry conditions or for longer fences, multiple ground rods spaced 10 feet (3m) apart may be necessary. Connect the energizer's green ground terminal (marked with ⚧) to the ground rod using a suitable ground wire.
- Connexió de tanca: Connect the energizer's red fence terminal (marked with ⚡) to your electric fence line. Use high-quality, insulated lead-out wire to connect the energizer to the fence, ensuring the wire does not touch the ground or any conductive materials before reaching the fence.
- Connexió d'alimentació: Plug the energizer into a standard 110V AC outlet. The unit is designed for simple plug-in setup.
