Patriot P10 Energizer

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Read reviews »

Use this 1 joule low-impedance electric fence energizer for medium-length temporary fences for livestock and wildlife deterrence. Also for medium-length cattle or horse fence (long fences if there is no weed contact).

Can be powered by either a 110V plug-in or 12V battery (sold separately under accessories below).

Don't forget to order a Wiring Harness! This energizer does not include a Wiring Harness (sold below), which connects leads and clips to attach to the fence and ground rod.

Common Uses
A 110V AC or 12V DC electric fence energizer used mostly 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.

*Kits include all the parts and pieces that folks new to electric fence normally need to make the fence operational.

Should power**

  • 2 miles of 3 strand cattle fence
  • 3/4 mile of a 5-7 strand sheep fence
  • 10 of the 164' sheep/goat nets
  • 4-5 of the 164' poultry nets
**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 3 ft. of grounding for this energizer.
  • 12V DC draw: 87 mA/hr. With this energizer a 12V 100 ampere hour, deep cycle battery will last approximately 28 days* on a clean or a weedy fence. *Assumes being drawn down to 40% between recharges.
  • To operate as a solar energizer, run the unit as a battery unit (DC) and attach a solar panel to charge the battery. (10-20 watt panel recommended.)

Energizer Specifications

  • 1.00 released joules
  • 1.00 joules in moist soils
  • 0.35 joules in dry soils
  • Pulses per minute: 40
  • 12V DC draw: 87 mA/hr
  • 110V draw is 4.5 watt per hour
  • Impedance type: low – pulse type
  • Load sensing/variable draw: no
  • Input: AC/DC
  • 110V plug-in adapter with a 6' cord
  • 12V battery adapter with a 40" cord (Batteries sold separately.)

Benefits
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. Can be moved around easily. Low cost.

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.
  1. Connect an MaxiShock 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Secure to ground rod(s) 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.

To use the energizer as a battery unit:

  1. Attach wiring harness to energizer.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4. Connect the energizer to the battery.
  5. Insert battery adapter into the energizer. Attach red alligator clip from the adapter to the red “+” terminal of the battery.
  6. 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.

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

Precautions
  • Make sure the power is turned off before working on the fence or the energizer.
  • Make sure the fence line is clear of grass and debris that may lower the fence’s voltage.
  • Ensure the solar panel is facing due south and avoid placing the unit where it may be covered by shadows from trees, bushes or tall grass.
  • Regularly remove all debris from the solar panel.
  • Batteries that are less than 40% charged may become damaged. Batteries MUST remain fully charged in freezing conditions.
  • 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.

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.

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.

Patriot P10 Energizer

The energizer was easy to install and has performed as expected attached to a single strand of 1" horse tape to keep in a pony and a Tennessee Walker who both are convinced the grass is greener on the other side.

Was not powerful enough for that kind of fence in west conditions. Did not produce nearly enough shock to prevent a fox from crawling under the fence and getting to our chickens. After one week we have replaced with a different unit.

I use electric fence to fence cows from a river and keep deer and raccoons out of my garden. My fence passes through tall grass and willows(often wet with dew) near the river. The patriot P10, a marine deep cycle battery and 10 watt solar panel does the job. Best DC system I have ever used.
