Instructions/Diagrams:

Common Uses
Wide-impedance 110v energizer to power fencing used to 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

Joules

  • 3 stored joules
  • 2.3 released joules
  • 1.9 output joules in moist soils
  • 1.24 output joules in dry soils

Miscellaneous

  • Requires 6 ft. of ground rod in the ground
  • 4.5 watts drawn per hour
  • 48 pulses per minute
  • 6' cord
  • 2 prong plug
  • Simple. No fancy "bells and whistles."
  • Modular. Very easy to repair.

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.

How to Use

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.

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 into outlet and test fence. 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 energizer is unplugged 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
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 it is 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 fence is at fault, then you must find the fault(s) and fix them.

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.

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.

Kube 4000 (Plug-In) Energizer Kit
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

FedEx delivered power supply and two rolls of fence at 3:30 in the afternoon. By 6 we had a working electrified barrier a thousand square feet enclosed. I wish there had been more warning signs. (I bought more.) We used one inch PVC to reinforce at turns. Completely satisfied with the thoughtful engineering and quality manufacturing of the products.

Took me a while to install and not because of the product. I ran electric out to the goat pen so we could have a light also. The energizer kit came with everything except someone to install it, but that part was easy. Excellent instructions, all the parts included, pretty much self explanatory. I couldn't be happier with this energizer. So far have two 82' fences connected to make a 41x41x41x41 pen and plan to expand as we get more goats. This energizer will definitely handle more.
