Zareba 100 Mile AC Powered Low Impedance Electric Fence Charger

Indledning

The Zareba 100 Mile AC Low Impedance Fence Charger is a powerful 6-joule electric fence energizer designed to control a variety of animals, including pigs, goats, horses, cows, and more. It also serves to deter predators. This charger is capable of powering through heavy weeds, though maintaining a clear fence line is recommended for optimal performance. Note that extreme vegetation and certain poly products can reduce the overall power output. This UL-listed energizer plugs into any standard 2-prong electrical outlet and requires protection from weather conditions. It is built in the USA and tested with a full load at the manufacturing facility.

Opsætningsinstruktioner

1. Valg af sted: Choose a location for the charger that is protected from direct weather exposure, as it is designed for indoor or sheltered use. It plugs into a standard 2-prong electrical outlet.
2. Jordingssystem: Install a robust grounding system. This typically requires three copper ground rods, each 6 to 8 feet long, driven into the earth. Ensure proper spacing and connection between the ground rods.
3. Høj voltage kabel: Use appropriate 20,000V high voltage cable to connect the charger to the fence wire and to the ground rods. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
4. Fence Line Connection: Tilslut høj voltage output from the charger to your electric fence line. Ensure the fence line is properly installed with insulators to prevent energy loss.
5. Strømtilslutning: Once all connections are secure and the fence line is clear, plug the charger into a standard 120V AC outlet.

Betjeningsvejledning

Once the Zareba EAC100M-Z charger is properly installed and connected, it will continuously energize your fence line. The low impedance design allows the charger to maintain voltage even with some vegetation contact. For optimal performance and maximum range, it is recommended to keep the fence line as clear of weeds and debris as possible. Excessive vegetation or the use of certain poly products can reduce the effective range and power of the fence.

Regularly inspect the fence line for breaks, shorts, or excessive vegetation. Use an electric fence tester to periodically check the voltage at various points along the fence to ensure it is operating effectively.

Opretholdelse

• Vejrbeskyttelse: Ensure the charger unit remains protected from rain, snow, and direct sunlight. While the cabinet is durable, prolonged exposure to harsh weather can affect its lifespan.
• Clear Fence Line: Regularly clear weeds, grass, and other vegetation from around and under the fence wires. This prevents shorts and maximizes the charger's effectiveness.
• Undersøg forbindelser: Periodically check all electrical connections, including those to the fence line, ground rods, and power outlet, to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion.
• Kontrol af jordsystem: Verify that the ground rods are firmly in the soil and that their connections are intact. A poor ground can significantly reduce fence performance.
• Visuel inspektion: Inspect the charger unit for any visible damage or wear.

Fejlfinding

• Ingen strømlampe: If the indicator light on the charger is not working, first check the power outlet and the charger's plug connection. If power is present at the outlet, the internal light may be faulty, but the charger could still be functioning. Use a fence tester to verify output.
• Weak Shock/Low Voltage:
  • Check Fence Line: Inspect the entire fence line for shorts caused by vegetation touching the wires, broken insulators, or wires touching posts.
  • Tjek jording: Ensure the ground rods are properly installed and connected. A poor ground is a common cause of weak fence performance.
  • Tjek forbindelser: Verify all high voltage cable connections are secure and free from corrosion.
• Charger Not Working After Lightning: The charger includes lightning damage coverage under warranty. If the unit stops working after a lightning storm, contact Zareba customer support for assistance.
• Intermitterende drift: Check for loose connections or intermittent shorts on the fence line. Ensure the power supply to the charger is stable.
