How to Use

For Fence:

  1. Insert the probe of the tester into the soil.
  2. Remove your hand from the metal portion of the probe (to avoid a shock).
  3. To get a voltage reading, touch the metal clip (on the top of the tester) to the electrified fence you wish to test.
  4. The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.
  5. Remove the tester from the fence and the probe from the soil. Do not remove the probe by pulling the insulated wire.
For Energizer:
  1. Turn off energizer.
  2. Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.
  3. Turn on energizer.
  4. Touch probe from tester to ground terminal on energizer (be sure to hold onto the insulated wire and not the metal probe!)
  5. At same time touch the fence hook on tester to fence terminal on energizer.
  6. The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.

Precautions

Be careful to not pull the ground probe out of the soil by grabbing the black ground wire. The wire and the probe could become separated in which case the tester will not function.
Trouble Shooting

  • Make sure that the probe has not become separated from the black insulated wire.
  • Cup your hands around the body of the tester to keep the sun's glare off the lights of the tester.

    Electric Netting
    PermaNet® 10/48/6 (48" x 150' roll), single spike
    Item # 206620 - In Stock
    $169.00
    How does it compare to our temporary nets (ElectoNet® and E'Stop™, etc?)
    • Designed to be left in one place for months or years. For this it has stronger, heavier, larger PVC posts with longer, thicker, steel spikes, supporting the net better through wind, rain, ice and snow.
    • It's taller--therefore more reliable.
    • It's a very good conductor (low electrical resistance). This is critical as weed contact may become heavy.
    • Supplied in many lengths--to enable users to buy the right length for each situation.
