Kube 4000 Energizer

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (43) Read reviews »

The Kube 4000 plug-in unit is economic and wide-impedance. That means it produces unusually high pulse outputs in fences over dry soils. It performs better than standard low-impedance units during dry/snowy seasons and on fences for deer, poultry and goats.

It's proven, over the past 5 years, to offer reliability and excellent value.

Instructions/Diagrams:

Common Uses
A 110V electric fence energizer used for medium length fences. It will keep in cattle, sheep, goats, horses, poultry and guard dogs. Effective at protecting against coyotes, stray dogs, bear and fox. It also works to keep deer, raccoons and rabbits out of garden/orchard areas.

Specs
  Energizer Only Plug-in Kit*
Item # 115110 115111
Kube 4000 Energizer ✔ ✔
(1) Ground Rod (galvanized) 6 ft
(1) Ground Rod Clamp ✔
MaxiShock Insulated Cable 100' roll
Digital Tester ✔
*Kits include all the parts and pieces that folks new to electric fence normally need to make the fence operational.

Should Power**

  • 3 miles of 3 strand cattle fence
  • 1 mile of 5-7 strand sheep fence
  • 15 rolls of 164' sheep/goat nets and 7 rolls of 164' PoultryNet
**All distances are dependent on amount of grass/weed load on the fence. Low-impedance circuitry produces a short, very strong electrical pulse designed to cope with moderate weed load.

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, included in the kit.

Energizer Specifications

  • 2.30 released joules
  • 2.30 joules in moist soils
  • 1.24 joules in dry soils
  • Pulses per minute: 40
  • 110V draw is 4.5 watt per hour
  • Impedance type: wide – pulse type
  • Input: AC only
  • 6' cord
  • Modular. Very easy to repair.

Benefits
Wide-impedance units perform better over a wider range of fence conditions and conductors than standard low-impedance units. Areas where wide-impedance units excel are: high resistance conductors (stainless steel polywire/hot tape/electrified netting); minimal ground rods; livestock or wildlife with dry skin or hair (poultry, deer, goats); and very dry soils. Safe to use with all polywire, polyrope, tape and electrified netting.

Installation
The Kube 4000 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.

  1. Connect insulated cable (stripped back 1 - 2" on ends) to the fence terminal on energizer, run the cable to the fence line and connect.
  2. Then run a second length of cable from the ground terminal (with ends stripped again) on the energizer to the ground rod.
  3. Secure to ground rod with a clamp.
  4. 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.
  5. Unit indicator light should flash and a tic-tac sound will be heard. If the indicator light doesn't flash, then the unit should be serviced.

Precautions
Make sure the power is turned off before working on the fence or the energizer.

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
You’ll need an electric fence tester (included with kit) to measure voltage.

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.

  1. Turn off the energizer.
  2. Disconnect the wires going to the fence and ground stake/rod.
  3. Turn the energizer back on.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
Determine if the battery or the energizer is the problem.
  • Test the battery with a low-voltage tester; recharge if lower than 12.2 volts
  • Check the grounding system
LEARN MORE
Re-attach the fence and ground wires to the energizer and turn it on. Then, walk or drive along the fence looking for situations that are reducing the voltage:
  • Conductors touching another wire, steel post or the soil
  • Broken or damaged insulators

Warranty
3-year warranty for energizers and solar panels cover lightning damage and defective parts or workmanship. Should an energizer fail, we will replace the unit, bill you for the cost to do so, then reimburse you for warranted expenses after we have examined the failed unit. Misuse and flood damage are not covered.

Works very well — we’ve had this for several years and needed to replace the cord that plugs into the outlet. I didn’t see it on the website, but if you call Premier 1 they do have the replacement cords for about $18. It looks very easy to repair.

Great fence energizer and super fast shipping. Highly recommend!

Your documentation for installation of the electric fence and Kube energizer is grossly deficient. All parts should be labeled and identified; set up of the Kube should be documented and videoed. I can figure out how to do set up and deployment. BUT, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HESITATE ONE MOMENT wondering what this or that part is for, or that there are not included parts, like alligator clips for the energizer wire. I do not have time to waste scratching my head. I would not recommend Premier 1 for the electric fence.

Kube Energizer Kits come with 100 ft of insulated wire for connecting the AC energizer to the fence (vs. a wiring harness with alligator clips.) Plug-in units should be protected from inclement weather and installed within reach of an 110V power outlet. Extension cords should not be used as they may cause a decrease in voltage and expose the power supply to the elements.

I was worried about getting a good ground with our dry soil but tried the Kube with the existing ground rod from my old fence charger. I was also worried about using a pulsing charger for my mules and horses in winter as their coats are very thick, so I chose an energizer with a stronger charge. It has worked perfectly and the animals are very respectful of it.

We bought this to protect our garden from squirrels and rabbits. The squirrels are the worst! Go figure. We installed it and it works great. The only problem is the further you get from the source, the less you get the "zap". We figure it is because we are using chicken wire. We are considering changing the actual fencing, or maybe getting a stronger charger. For now, it is working. We are very happy with it.
