1. Which animal do I need to contain or deter?

Because animals have different hides/coats, hooves/feet, and tolerance to pain, various systems are required to contain or control them. To simplify things, we have created three groups of animals to help you choose the correct device and equipment.

Small, sensitive animals

Dogs, rabbits, poultry, cats...

Easy animals

Cattle, calves, pigs, horses, donkeys...

Difficult animals

Sheep, goats, wild boar, wild game...

2. Which power source do I require ?

Each space has its own particularities that can fulfilled through the different energizer power supply options available. Each power supply has distinct advantages and disadvantages that will determine the choice of the energizer. In many cases, a hybrid solution is the best option, i.e. energizer that uses at least two different sources to be powered.

PROS

CONS

Mains 230VAC

  • Very high power in case of long fences especially when affected by vegetation
  • Maintenance free
  • Digital technology provides precise data regarding fence condition (low voltage, incident warnings, etc...)
  • Switching on/off controlled from your mobile device (L-Box)
  • Higher risk of lightening damage(surge due to lightening strikes not covered under guarantee). Energiser needs to be kept in a dry place.
  • If the fence is far from buildings a larger amount of
  • Insulated FISOL cable will be required to connect the energiser to the fence line.

Battery 12VDC

  • Mobile for remote areas without mains supply
  • Battery is rechargeable
  • Greater battery life using the ECO 1/5 et I-PULSE systems as well as additional solar panels
  • Can also be used with the mains supply with an optional adaptor.
  • Requires periodic battery charging
  • Second battery required during recharge
  • Strong vegetation reduces battery life
  • Risk of theft

Battery 9VDC

  • Light and portable devices ideal for strip grazing and pets
  • Can also be used with a 12v battery permitting recharge
  • Ease of use
  • 9 volt batteries cannot be recharged adding to costs
  • Not suitable for long fences or strong vegetation
  • Risk of theft

3. What are the land conditions or the vegetation levels?

The vegetation level affects the distance an energizer can fence. If the vegetation conditions are unknown, we suggest you take the average conditions as a guideline. Although, it is good to know this factor before purchasing. Pay attention to the height of the first line, as the lower it is to the ground the more likely the grass will come into contact with it. That effectively means a stronger energizer will be required to recuperate the loss to the vegetation.

350 km

Theoretical distance
No vegetation

55 km

Ideal conditions
Weak vegetation

10 km

Typical conditions
Normal vegetation

5 km

Bad conditionds
Strong vegetation

4. How do I calculate the distance required?

The distance to the fence determines the power and size of the energizer required. If you install multiple wire lines, it is not necessary to add the total number of wires, simply the distance between the first post and the last.
