Rutland Electric Fencing Product Guide 2021 / 2022

10 Choosing the fence device 230 Volt power supplies - the best choice if a mains socket is available These units have an unlimited protection period. They are available in all of the necessary power classes and are the best means of delivering the energy required (0.5 Joule up to 20 Joule output) on long fences or fences with vegetation, or for very robust animals. The higher joules will not cause harm to the animals. All fence devices comply with applicable safety standards. If mobile use is intended, e.g. at tournaments, on trail or distance rides or simply on frequently changing pastures where there is no 230 volt power supply available, you must resort to a battery-powered unit. For fences with heavier vegetative growth, 9 volt compact solar units are inadequate and 12 volt units must be used. 12 volt battery-powered units - strong performance even on fences with heavier vegetative growth If no 230 volt connection is available, then 12 volt battery devices are the optimum solution for very strong animals, long fences and/or fences with vegetative growth. The discharge energy is comparable with mains devices (from around 0.5 Joules to around 20 Joules of output). 12 volt rechargeable wet batteries are used as a power source. Depending on the type of device, power requirements and battery type, they must be recharged after 1 to 4 weeks. Solar modules are a useful addition which convert solar energy into electricity, and thus to permanently charge the 12 volt batteries. 12/230 volt DUO units - maximum flexibility combined with powerful output energy Units of this type combine the unlimited protection duration of the 230 volt devices with the mobility of powerful 12 volt devices. A 12 volt cable and 230 volt adapter are included in the supplied package. 9 volt dry battery units the ideal devices for smaller fences and paddocks 9 volt battery units are suitable for shorter fence lengths without vegetative growth. They are highly mobile and significantly lighter compared to 12 volt units. The 9 volt battery runs for a few months and can even cover an entire pasture season depending on the operating time, battery type and size (expressed in Ah - the more Ah, Ampere hours, the longer it runs for). Once it is discharged, it cannot be recharged. 9 volt units (even if these can also be operated with 12 volt batteries) are weaker than 12 volt units. 9 volt units in this instance typically deliver approx. 0.15 Joules to around 0.35 Joules. High-impact 9 volt units can deliver up to 0.55 Joules. Compact solar units Compact solar units from the Rutland Range. Mono-crystalline solar modules in combination with our high-performance solar fence devices are able to supply power to fences which are many kilometres in length. Even after a whole week without direct sunlight, these fence devices still have sufficient power to supply your fence with sufficient current. These special devices are outstandingly suited for fencing relatively large areas. Sufficient voltage is supplied everywhere along the fence, without the requirement for a socket anywhere nearby. The 12 volt AGM battery is integrated, and is constantly charged via the solar module built into the housing. If the battery has to be topped up, it can be recharged using the 230 volt mains adapter supplied.
