Wiring your Energizer:

You can now connect the energizer to the ElectroBraid™. Run a length of copper lead-out wire from the positive terminal on your energizer to the top strand of Braid™. Feed the copper wire into a copper split-bolt, which is fastened to the strand, making sure the wire has direct contact with the wires in the Braid™.

WARNING: Never loosen the split-bolt connector without first taking the tension off the line you want to electrify, first. Use the ratchet and clamp to release and hold the tension before releasing the split-bolt.

NOTE: For easier troubleshooting, it is best to use an extra split-bolt connector for electrical connections. Then if, you need to disconnect the wiring from a strand you will not have to use the tensioning device to hold the tension.

NOTE: Use of cable ties will prevent lead-out wire from breaking due to vibration.

After the tension has been taken off the line you are electrifying, feed the copper wire from the energizer into the Split-Bolt Connector. While you have the split-bolt connector loose, cut and insert another piece of insulated copper lead-out wire that will be used to jump the electricity to the third strand (Note: Skip the second-from-the-top strand - it will be grounded to the negative terminal on the energizer or to the ground system). Repeat for the fourth strand (this technique will allow you to easily disconnect the lower line(s) in case of heavy accumulation of wet snow which may cause the fence to short). Before inserting, pre-measure the proper length of the jumper wires and strip away 1" of insulation so the copper in the lead wire is exposed to ensure a good connection. After all leads have been connected, re-tighten the split-bolt, release the ratchet and attach cable ties. Bury all wiring 8" - 10".

NOTE: We recommend you thread all positive wiring through a piece of 3/4" conduit (flexible Poly well water pipe) to avoid abrasion and to prevent shorting between negative and positive wires. Bury the pipe 8"-10" deep. Strap the ends of the pipe to the gate posts with the ends turned down to prevent rains and dirt from filling the pipe.
