Kube 4000 Energizer

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (38) 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
5-Light Wireless Fence 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
2-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.

An excellent product. We’ve used one for ten years without a single problem and bought another for a new pasture across the road. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy a 3rd.

A great little energizer. It does a much better job of generating a charge to the fence no matter the ground moisture conditions. We use this on portable fencing to rotationally graze a small herd of sheep and it works wonderfully.

Excellent energizer with no fancy bells and whistles but it will sure pop your tale. This energizer packs a punch and really works. We use it to keep our sheep and a ornery bull in their appropriate areas. We have had no issues at all, and we will probably be purchasing another in the near future.

The best fence charger in it's price range. This cherger outperforms chargers that cost twice as much. Just bought my second. The first lasted 12 years before it got fried by lightning.

Had a neighborhood bear attempt to get into my chicken yard last night. He go popped and headed for the hills. Perfect. I wish I could upload the photo of what he did to the containment fence inside of the electric fence perimeter.
