Product Information

Full details

This SecureFix Direct Electric Fence Tester is designed for farmers and property owners managing electric fences. Its key benefit is providing a clear, immediate indication of voltage, helping users quickly identify faults or confirm fence safety for maintenance. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for Low Impedance and Standard Duty Fence Controllers. This tool allows for checking power disconnection during fence work and indicates current running through the wire, alerting to system faults or when a fence is safe to touch.

FAQs

How do I use the Electric Fence Tester?

Simply place the probe onto the electric fence wire and the ground clip onto the ground. The bright lights will indicate the voltage level present on the fence.

What is the maximum voltage this tester can read?

This tester can measure up to 10000V (10kV).

Do I need batteries for this tester?

No, the SecureFix Direct Electric Fence Tester does not require any batteries or external power source.

Can I use this tester with any type of electric fence controller?

It is suitable for Low Impedance and Standard Duty Fence Controllers. It may not provide accurate readings with very high-output or specialized controllers.

How do I know if my fence has a fault?

If the tester shows a significantly lower voltage than expected, or zero voltage, it indicates a potential fault in the fence system, such as a break, short, or grounding issue.

Is it safe to touch the fence wire when the tester shows no voltage?

When the tester indicates zero voltage, it suggests that power has been disconnected or there is a fault preventing the charge from reaching that point. However, always exercise caution when working with electric fences.

How should I clean the tester?

Wipe the tester with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the probe and ground clip are clean and free of debris for accurate readings. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the unit in water.

Troubleshooting

Tester shows no reading or very low reading when fence should be energized.

Ensure the tester's probe is making good contact with a live wire. Check that the tester is compatible with your fence controller type. Verify the fence controller is powered on and functioning correctly. Test the fence controller output directly if possible. Check for breaks or shorts in the fence wire.

Lights are dim or not clearly visible.

Ensure the indicator lights are clean. In very bright sunlight, shade the indicator area slightly for better visibility. If lights remain dim consistently, there may be an internal issue with the tester.

Tester appears damaged.

Inspect the tester for visible cracks or damage. If the unit is physically damaged, it should be replaced. Do not attempt to use a damaged tester.
