Energiser Mounting

How and where you position your energiser will effect you fence performance.

Mains energisers and mains/battery energisers powered from the mains must be installed under cover and out of the weather, such as in a shed.
Mains/battery energisers operating from a battery, battery energisers and solar energisers should mounted in the middle of the fence line to be most effective.
Battery energisers have hanger clips on top, and can simply be suspended from a fence wire or screwed to a post.
Solar energisers are designed to sit over the top of a metal Stockpost.
Solar energisers and solar panels must face North, and be in a position where shade cannot block the sun from the solar panel at any time during the day.
All energisers should be mounted up out of the reach of children.
Do not allow any energiser to operate by sitting it on the ground or laying it on its back.
Use double insulated electric fence underground cable to connect from the terminals of the energiser to the fence live wire and earth stakes.
Run the underground cable inside poly pipe for protection where it has to exit out of a building.The diagram below illustrates a typical energiser mounted in a shed.
Note that all earth wires in the fence and all live wires in the fence are joined together.
