6 Symbols Description Unit Explanation Earthing Quantity required In order to enable electricity to flow freely from the ground to the device, optimal contact should be ensured between the earthing rod and soil (dry soil is a poor electricity conductor). The earthing rod (which must be galvanised) should therefore be driven into a damp area, the length of the earthing rod should be measured to ensure that deeper, damper soil layers are reached. The recommended number of earthing rods depends on the power class of the device. Resistance Ohms The following resistance can be identified in a fence system: Earthing resistance should be as low as possible Conductive material resistance displayed in Ohm/metres. The smaller this value, the better the material‘s conductivity. The conductivity requirements of the material used increase with the length of the fence. The best materials have a resistance smaller than 0.25 Ω/m. Isolator resistance should be as high as possible Maximum Voltage Volts This voltage is reached with a low fence charge. Voltage in Open Circuit Volts Voltage when no fence system is connected to the electric fencer device. Voltage at 500 Ohms Volts Voltage at a fence charge of 500 Ohm. Stored Energy Joules Energy absorbed by device. The electric fencer efficiency ratio yields the relevant discharge energy value for the user. Maximum Output Joules Maximum energy transmitted from the device to the fence system. This pulse is also identified as shock strength. Output Energy Joules Minimum energy transmitted from the device to the fence system. This can be reached through a fence output with reduced power or through selecting the lowest power level of an electric fencer device. Explanation of symbols
7 Explanation of symbols Symbols Description Unit Explanation Theoretical Fence Length VDE (2000V) Km With fence lengths in accordance with VDE, only a theoretical value is given, which, as a result of various influences (fence vegetation, weather and soil conditions) cannot be reached in practice. Maximum Fence Length with Varying Vegetative Growth Km Vegetation on the fence has a considerable influence on the max. fence length for an electric fence device. The more vegetation on the fence, the higher the fence charge will be, thus reducing the max. fence length. The fence length indications refer to highly conductive wire material and connectors, good isolators and an optimal earthing system. Approximate Number of Electrifiable Nets Quantity required For 230V and 12V devices, the maximum number of 50m lines to be used is given. Voltage Supply 230V Volts Devices with power supplies (230V) should be used in permanent fencing solutions to avoid unnecessary maintenance and ensure maximum power on line at all times. Voltage Supply 12V or 12V Solar Volts 12 volt battery chargers are the ideal solution for long fences or fences with considerable amounts of vegetation in the event that no power supply is available. Rechargeable 12 volt wet cells are used as a source of power. A useful addition are solar modules, which are offered in a range of power classes and transform solar energy into electricity. Voltage Supply 230V or 12V Volts This type of device combines the unlimited protection duration of the 230 volt devices with the mobility of the powerful 12 volt devices. Voltage Supply 9V Volts The 9 volt dry battery devices are characterised by their excellent mobility, coupled with a long battery life. They are ideal for short fences with moderate vegetation if no power supply is available. Voltage Supply 2 x 1.5V Volts 3 volt devices are mobile and easy to handle, and are suitable for fences without vegetation, such as in gardens, horse-training paddocks and game pen control. Power Consumption mA The duration of the battery life can be calculated from the energy consumption along with the capacity of the battery.
8 A) Fence device B) Conductor material C) Insulators D) Posts E) Ground posts Make sure there are at least 3,000 volts everywhere on the fence line! This is how an Electric fence system works The electric fence system consists of: A) An electric fencer generating regular energy impulses. B) One or more wires that transport electricity (although these do not necessarily have to form a closed loop). C) Insulation is performed by insulators preventing the power from diverting into the ground. D) Permanent or mobile posts that can be used as required. E) The earthing of the electric fencer which should be driven as deep as possible into moist soil. If the animal touches the wire, a current circuit is closed, i.e. the electric current flows through the animal and the earth back to the unit. The animal consequently receives an unpleasant, although harmless, electric shock and retreats. An electric fence system of this kind is used successfully to pen animals in and also to keep other animals out.
9 Earthing Earthing is an important part of the electric circuit. To make sure the current flows back without hindrance through the soil to the fencer, there has to be the best contact possible between ground rod and soil (soil with hardly no moisture conducts inadequately). When driving in the ground rod look for moist spots, i.e. the ground rod must be of sufficient length to reach deepsub-soil moisture. This should be positioned at least 10m away from any domestic earth rod. Fence Voltage and Impulse Energy The peak of an electric impulse generated by the fencer is called fence-voltage. High voltage is necessary to create a proper channel between fence wire and body of the animal. There has to be a minimum voltage of about 3,000 volts. (For thick-coated animals we recommend a minimum voltage of 4000 volts). Now the current (impulse energy) can flow through this channel. This means that the efficiency of shock depends on the amount of impulse energy (voltage alone does not hurt). The more stubborn an animal is the more power should be used to enclose or keep off. Furthermore, the need of more impulse energy rises according to the length of the fence line and its possible loss (e.g. vegetation). The more power is delivered by a fencing unit, the higher its power consumption. With regard to the impulse energy we recommend to make a careful choice especially when battery or rechargeable battery operated energisers are concerned. Fence Resistance As well as sufficient impulse energy, you also need highly conductive fence material to achieve the maximum shock possible and to make sure that there is minimum loss in the energy delivered to the animal, and no energy fade beforehand. The conductor resistance is a measure for assessing the fence material. It is specified in Ohm/meter. The longer the fence, the better the conductivity of the chosen material must be. The longer the fence, the better must be the conductivity of the chosen material. The best materials have a resistance < 1 Ω/m; poorer materials exceed 4 Ω/m. Technical terms What kilometre figures should you base your decision on? Kilometre figures are often highly theoretical values that are based on the best possible conditions (wire conductivity, connections, insulation status, ground conditions, earthing) in the fence system. These conditions change constantly, however, due to the influences of weather. It is therefore important to achieve the minimum protective voltage of 3,000 Volt at each point of the fence system in all conditions.
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.

Using pencil and a sheet of graph paper, sketch out the area you wish to enclose, noting distances. Then draw in the approximate locations of buildings or barns that will be adjacent to or enclosed by the fence. Also include in your plan: • Location of water supplies and feeding stations • Trees or other obstacles • Low – or wet spots • Entrance/exit points where gates are needed – note the length of gates • Fence termination points (e.g., corners and gateways) • Location of fence energiser and electrical source (if applicable) • Cross fences within the pasture area (temporary or permanent) Choose Your System’s Components and Complete the Checklist When your sketch is complete you’re ready to select components for your system. Refer to this guide for more detailed product information and tables that will help you calculate the number of each component you’ll need. * These distances are based on square-shaped perimeters. Shape of area will vary the perimeter of the fence. Determine your perimeter length*: ¼ acre = 127 metres ½ acre = 180 metres ¾ acre = 220 metres 1 acre = 255 metres 2 acres = 360 metres 3 acres = 441 metres 4 acres = 509 metres 5 acres = 569 metres 10 acres = 805 metres 20 acres = 1,141 metres 40 acres = 1,609 metres 50 acres = 1,800 metres
12 Fence Design & Tips FENCE ENERGISER TERMINOLOGY SPECIES CONSIDERATIONS Volts – This is the pressure behind the flow of electricity to push the energy along the conductive fence wire. (similar to air pressure) Most energisers produce up to 10,000 volts and about 3,000 volts minimum (measured by a volt meter, 488229), is needed at the end of the fence. Ohms – This is the measure of resistance, rather like friction of water running along a hosepipe. Small diameter fence conductors, such as those in poly wires and tape have high resistance and are used for short fences. Large diameter wire such as 2.5mm high tensile have low resistance and can be many kilometres long. Vegetation growth on a fence line acts like a leak in a water pipe and “shorts” the fence to earth thus reducing its effectiveness. Joules – This is the amount of energy available to be pushed down the conductor by the energiser, and is the measure of shock felt by the animal. This is rather like cubic capacity or volume. Higher joules mean longer fences (see page 1 for the joules stored in each energiser). Stored energy gives the best indication of the energiser’s ability to handle fence load and maintain an effective shock. Stored energy is used to compare one model from the other. Reasons for this are, it is independent of external fence load conditions and is more consistent than output energy, which changes according to standard specifications. We have various models in our mains range starting from the ESM1500 model (1.5 stored energy) up to our most powerful mains unit the ESM20000i which is 20j stored energy, which conforms to the latest European 60375-2-76 A11A12 specifications. Amperage – The measurement of electric current; what you feel when you get shocked. The higher the amperage the more intense shock the animal will feel. Animal Minimum recommended voltage on fence line* Characteristics/ Recommendations Horses 3,000 volts Use high visibility products such as poly tape or poly rope Cattle 3,000 volts If docile with plenty of pasture, 1-3 strands adequate Bulls 4,000 volts Extra shock needed to control a determined bull, 4 strands recommended Sheep/ Goats 3,000–5,000 volts Difficult to confine (goats jump, thick coats require higher voltage), 4-6 strands Nuisance pests and vermin 3,000 volts Smaller animals require closer wire spacing Pigs 3,000 volts To deter from rooting, use 3-4 wires starting 15cm from ground Foxes/ Predators 4,000–5,000 volts Multi-wires spaced 13-20cm apart from ground level Deer 3,000–4,000 volts Multi-wire fence 1.8-2.5m high using high visibility tape or rope Pets 3,000 volts 3-4 wires, starting 15cm from ground EARTHING In order for the fence to work correctly it is necessary to make an adequate Earth. The shock circuit is then completed when an animal comes into contact with the fence. If an insufficient earth is used then the whole system becomes inefficient or ineffective. You will only get the full potential from your rutland energiser if it is correctly earthed. Depending on the energiser, we suggest you use a minimum one metre (Part No. 44615) galvanised earth stake. In dry ground conditions the current flows less easily than in wet conditions and may require the use of additional earth stakes. Additional earth stakes should be spaced two metres apart and joined with lead out cable. Fence lead and clip Earth lead and clip Fence energiser Connector Wire (Part No. 488616) 1m Galvanized metal earth stakes driven 1m (3’) deep – Additional earth stakes spaced 2m (6’) apart if required.

If more than this add more earth stakes until it is brought down. Ensure to use a high quality tester to check voltages such as 488229 of page 43. WARNING Avoid contacting electric fence wires especially with the head, neck or torso. Do not climb over, through or under a multi-wire electric fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point. PLEASE NOTE These wire spaces are suitable for most ponies and horses but may need to be adjusted to accommodate foals, minature ponies and large horses that may be likely to jump the fence. For windy sites consider using 20mm tape instead. Wherever possible, use a mains powered energiser. (No batteries to service or go flat) The type of energiser required depends on the fence length. Maintain the current on the fence 24 hours a day at all times. Earth stake should be positioned near to the fence and at least 10m away from any electrical supply Fence Design & Tips

Tip 5 How do I measure voltage directly on the earthing rod? 1. Short-circuit the fence wire approximately 10 m away from the device earthing using iron rods 2. Check the voltage directly at the earthing rod using a digital voltmeter Tip 6 1. Insert earthing rods to a depth of at least 1 m away from the building into damp soil 2. Insert multiple earthing rods at intervals of at least 3 m and connect them 3. Earthing rods must be made of non-rusting material, e.g. stainless steel, or must be galvanised Tip 7 1. Vegetation on the fence remove it! 2. Conductive material lying on the ground tie / bind it up 3. Poor conductive material replace with material that has good conductive properties (< 1 Ohm/m) 4. Conductive material is knotted use stainless steel ties 5. Insulator breaks through replace with new insulator 6. Broken metal conductor wires replace conductive material 7. Improve conductivity connect conductive material series with each other vertically at intervals of around 200 m
