Safe Fence -Power Up!
To electrify your tape fence, attach a
Tape to Energizer Connector.
Use Tape to Tape Connectors energize (electrify) the rest of the fence lines.
Turn on the fence controller
and check voltage at the end the of fence. Walk the fence to look for
arcing, broken insulators, loose polytape, vegetation touching the fence,
etc. Check voltage regularly.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Power each section of Safe-Fence as you build it. Never put horses behind Safe-Fence that is not electrified.
In very dry areas you may need to take additional measures to insure adequate grounding. In areas
with lots of vegetation you might need to disconnect the bottom strand at
times to keep grass from arcing to the tape until you can mow. It is recommended
that a herbicide be sprayed along the fence periodically to keep vegetation
down.
