Common Uses

Used as an insulator for making gates "hot".
Installation

  1. Screw activator into wood post either by hand or by inserting a screwdriver into the rings. Screw insulator completely into post.
  2. To connect the electrical flow to the activator and gate, attach a piece of insulated wire (sold separately) from fence to one of the loops on activator. (Shed off approximately 2" of insulation and wrap the bare wire around loop.) A SafeHandle will hook into either loop.
  3. When the handle is connected, the gate is energized. When the handle is not connected, the gate is not energized.

Premier's MaxiShock 7 strand cable covered with pliable plastic insulation.
Because of its low tensile strength and thick zinc coating, wrapping it several turns around the conductor or stainless P spring provides an enduring connection capable of transferring the high volts and amperes of low impedance energizers.
By contrast, HT ins. wires, including our PIW34 wires, must be secured by a connector because their high tensile properties causes them to slightly untwist--allowing sparking and corrosion to develop over time.
