Data

Instructions/Diagrams:

Common Uses
A 110v AC or 12v DC electric fence energizer used to keep out deer, raccoons and rabbits from garden/orchard areas. It is also used to keep in poultry, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and guard dogs. Effective at protecting against coyotes, stray dogs, bear and fox.

Specs

HotShock 5

  • Peak output: 0.5 joules
  • Pulses per minute: 38
  • 110 AC draw: 1 watt per hour
  • 12v DC draw: 46 mA/hr. With this energizer a 12v 100 ampere hour, deep cycle battery will last approximately 54 days* on a clean or a weedy fence. *Assumes being drawn down to 40% between recharges.
  • Includes: 12v battery leads, 110v adapter and wiring harness.
  • Impedance type: low
  • Should power 1 mile of 3 strand cattle fence, 1/2 mile of a 5-7 strand sheep fence, 6 of the 164' sheep/goat nets and 3 of the 164' poultry nets. All distances are dependent on amount of grass/weed load on the fence.

Kit includes:

  • HotShock 5 Energizer
  • 12v leads and wiring harness

  • 5-light tester

Benefits
HotShock 5: Versatile, can be used as a plug-in energizer or as a battery energizer. Adapts from one style to the other in a few seconds. Easily moved around. Low cost.

5-Light Tester: Low cost way to make sure you have enough volts on the fence to keep animals in and predators out.

Ground rod and clamp: Galvanized rod does not rust or corrode

How to Use
The energizer can be mounted either inside or outside of a building or on the modified ground rod that comes with the kit. Make sure that there is no risk of fire wherever you decide to locate it. The energizer must be mounted vertically. Protect the energizer from direct rainfall or flooding.

To connect to battery

  1. Plug 12v battery leads into bottom of energizer.
  2. Attach red clip to positive terminal on battery.
  3. Attach black clip to negative terminal on battery.

To connect to fence and ground rod:

  1. From the Wiring Harness, connect red lead's bare wire end to fence terminal and clip other end of lead to fence
  2. From the Wiring Harness, connect black lead's bare wire end to ground terminal and clip other end of lead to ground rod.
  3. Test fence with 5 Light Fence Tester.

To use light tester WITHOUT ground probe

For Fence:
  1. Touch the top of the tester to the electrified fence you wish to test.
  2. Push the button (if applicable).
  3. The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.
For Energizer:
  1. Turn off energizer.
  2. Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.
  3. Turn on energizer.
  4. Touch the top of the tester onto the top of the fence terminal on the energizer.
  5. Push the button (if applicable).
  6. The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.

To use light tester WITH ground probe

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.

Ground rod

  1. Allow 3 ft of rod per joule of energy released.
  2. Use multiple 6 ft rods for large energizers and 3 ft rods for smaller energizers (and lightning diverters).
  3. Make sure to put the ground rod all the way into the ground.
  4. Clip black clip onto ground rod.

Precautions
Make sure the energizer is unplugged before working on the fence or the energizer. When using a 12v deep cycle battery, there is no case to protect the battery, so the battery will be exposed to the elements and risk of theft. This unit is not modular, therefore it is not repairable.

Ground rod: When installing more than one ground rod, space the ground rods apart 2 feet longer than the rod. Example 3' rods should be spaced 6' apart.

To Reduce Risk & Liability

  • Never place your head or upper spine near an electrified wire. Accidental head or neck contact can occur when pushing a voltage probe into the soil. Be careful when doing so to avoid head-to-wire contact!
  • Never attempt to step over or climb through an energized fence of any kind.
  • Never encourage anyone to touch an electric fence.

Troubleshooting

HotShock 5

To determine if the fault is with the fence or the energizer...
  1. Test the energizer first
  2. Turn off energizer.
  3. Disconnect ground wire and the fence wire.
  4. Turn energizer back on.
  5. With fence tester, put the ground probe (or clamp) to the ground terminal on the energizer and the metal loop (or positive clamp) at the top of the tester to the fence/positive terminal. The reading you get tells you how well the energizer is working without any other variables. If there is a very low voltage (under 4000v) or no voltage, then the energizer may have a problem. If the voltage is high (greater than 4000v) then the trouble lies with your fence. Most energizers put out between 5000v and 8000v when there is no load (i.e. no fence hooked up).
If the energizer is faulty and you're using it as a 110 volt plug-in unit ...
  1. Check that the 110v outlet is "live" by using a plug-in drill or test light.
  2. If the test light works and the energizer does not, call Premier.

If the energizer is faulty and you are using it as a battery unit you need to learn if the battery or the energizer is the problem…
  1. If it's a 12 volt energizer carry the unit to a nearby vehicle and attach the input cords carefully to the vehicle's battery.
  2. If the energizer now works, then your fencer's battery needs to be recharged or replaced.
  3. If the energizer does not work, then you should call Premier re. repairs.

If the fence is at fault, then you must find the fault(s) and fix them. Here's how to start this process:
If you have a Fault Finder you can simply touch the fence with the Fault Finder at various points along the electric fence(s). The Fault Finder will tell you at each point which direction to go in to locate the problem. Move in that direction testing as you go and you will arrive at the problem.

If you lack a Fault Finder…

  1. Walk or drive along the fence looking for any point in which the energized wires touch the soil, a steel post or a steel wire. On HT wire fences, check the wires at braces to see if they are touching a hot wire. On netting, look for a hot wire touching the metal stake at the bottom of the plastic posts. Also look for damaged insulators.
  2. If the fence can be separated into several parts (by switches or by disconnecting parts of it), you can locate the problem by beginning at the far end and then progressively turn off or disconnect the sections of fence. When the voltage on the remaining fence rises sharply, you've located the section(s) that's causing the problems.
  3. The alternative to (2.) is to begin at the fencer and progressively turn on sections of the fence. When the voltage suddenly drops you can assume that the problem is in the section most recently connected.

5-Light Tester: 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.

Ground Rod: If you are not getting a good reading on your fence: Make sure to have the ground rod all the way into the ground. Make sure you have a good connection to the ground rod. Make sure to have a good connection on the energizer and fence.

Works as advertized and the kit has everything I needed to set up a solid, safe electro-fence to keep poultry in, and the dogs out. I am very happy with the product and the delivery.

P.S. It would has been nice to have more instruction on how to connect leads to fence and ground.

We are very pleased with this kit. It works with our E'Stop 9/42/6 electric net. It has powered the net and kept our goats in and our neighbors dogs out. It has worked as we expected. Shipping was fast.
