Installing an
ElectroBraid Fence Minder
Your
ElectroBraid Fence Minder will continuously check to make sure
your fence is fully energizer. It will warn you, day or night, if
it detects a significant voltage drop. If a horse is in contact with
your fence for more than three seconds, your Fence Minder will
shut off your energizer to stop further electric shocks; and immediately
alert you by siren and/or by auto-dialling your pre-programmed phone
numbers.
If
the contact between horse and fence is less than three seconds, the
Fence Minder will not signal an alarm. Also, it is programmed
so that neither rain nor snow should cause a false alarm.
If
the fence voltage drops gradually below a pre-set minimum, the Fence
Minder will alarm but not turn off the power. Such a voltage
drop may be the result of electrical shorts along the fence line.
Provided
you verify your fence is properly grounded, and regularly check your
voltage with a digital voltmeter, your Fence Minder will
give you the peace of mind of knowing that your ElectroBraid
fence is keeping your horses safe.
Your
Fence Minder can be powered by mains power (120 volts AC/60
Hz) or by battery or solar power (8-16 volts DC). Alarm devices are
connected as accessories. The siren can be wired for continuous or
intermittent signally, to conform to local noise pollution bylaws.
A telephone auto-dialler can also be connected. It comes with its
own Operating Manual.
