Should power…**
- 2.5 miles of 3 strand cattle fence
- 1 mile of a 6 strand sheep fence
- 16 of the 164' sheep/goat nets
- Up to 8 of the 164' poultry nets
Miscellaneous
- Requires a grounding system. Inadequate grounding is the most common failure in an electric fence system. We recommend 6 ft. of grounding for this energizer.
- 12V battery draw is 32-196 milliampere (mA) per hour. With this energizer a 12V, 100 ampere hour deep-cycle battery will last approximately 13 (on a weedy fence) and 78 (on a clean fence) days. (Assumes 40% drawn down between charges.)
- To operate as a solar energizer, run the unit as a battery unit (DC) and attach a solar panel to charge the battery. (10-40 watt panel recommended.)

Benefits
Installation
To use the energizer as a plug-in unit:
The energizer can be mounted either inside or outside of a building, but not where there is risk of fire. The energizer must be mounted vertically. Protect the energizer from direct rainfall.- Connect an insulated cable (stripped back 1 - 2" on ends) to the fence terminal on energizer, run the cable to the fence line and connect, or use the positive part of the wiring harness.
- Then run a second length of cable from the ground terminal (with ends stripped again) on the energizer to the ground rod(s), or use the negative part of the wiring harness.
- Secure to ground rod(s) with a clamp.
- Plug the energizer directly into an outlet and test fence. Do not use an extension cord as it may cause a decrease in voltage and expose the unit to the elements.
To use the energizer as a battery unit:
- Attach wiring harness to energizer.
- Attach the bare end of the wire with the red clip to the fence terminal of the energizer. Attach the red alligator clip to the fence.
- Attach the bare end of the wire with the black clip to the ground terminal of the energizer. Attach black alligator clip to the ground rod(s).
- Connect the energizer to the battery.
- Insert battery adapter into the energizer. Attach red alligator clip from the adapter to the red “+” terminal of the battery.
- Attach black alligator clip from the adapter to the black “–” terminal of the battery.
Unit indicator light should flash and a tic-tac sound will be heard. If the indicator light doesn't flash, then the unit/battery should be checked.
Precautions
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
Start by measuring the voltage at the end of the fence line. If the voltage is below 3000V, follow these steps to determine if the problem is with the fence, or the energizer.
Test the energizer first!
- Turn off the energizer.
- Disconnect the wires going to the fence and ground stake/rod.
- Turn the energizer back on.
- Measure the voltage on the energizer between the two terminals (positive and negative) with a digital voltmeter or other high-voltage tester. Touch one end to “-“ (earth terminal) and the other end to “+” (fence terminal). The reading tells you how well the energizer is working without any other variables.
- If the tester reads below 5000V, then the energizer (or possibly the battery) is the problem. If the voltage is above 5000V, then the trouble lies with your fence.
If the energizer is at fault:
- Test the battery with a low-voltage tester; recharge if lower than 12.2 volts
- Check the grounding system
If the fence is at fault:
- Conductors touching another wire, steel post or the soil
- Broken or damaged insulators

My order was shipped right away. This energizer is the best!
Caleb K from Iowa
The IntelliShock 20 I purchased from Premier was impressive. I hooked it up to my electric netting and tested 7000 volts. Ran for a week and a half on a deep cycle battery. Great versatile product!
Robert C from Ohio
I have purchased 4 of the IntelliShock energizers. They are by far the best I have ever had. Mine are set up on solar and work great.
Keith M from Kansas
Excellent fence energizer. Premier 1’s customer service and warranty is unmatched.
Dustin M from Tennessee
I wanted to build my own mobile fence charger and in doing so I wanted to be able to upgrade certain aspects and future proof certain aspects. And I can honestly say I am glad I decided to future proof with this! Very reliable, very energy efficient as I am using only solar and batteries to operate it and sometimes I don’t get much sun in some areas I have my charge box. So this unit drawing such little power is very reassuring to me to know I will always have power to the fence.
