Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a compatible electric fence energizer (charger) and appropriate insulators for your fence posts.
- Unroll the tape, keeping it taut to maximize effectiveness.
- Attach the tape securely to fence posts using appropriate insulators, ensuring no direct contact between the tape and the post.
- Connect the tape to your energizer using high-quality connectors.
- Test the fence voltage with a fence tester to ensure it is operating within the recommended range for your livestock.
Compatibility:
This tape is designed for use with standard electric fence energizers. The 5.5 Ohm resistance is a key factor; ensure your energizer is rated to handle this level of resistance and deliver adequate voltage for your specific animal containment needs.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the tape for damage, wear, or sagging.
- Ensure insulators are in good condition and properly attached.
- Keep the fence line clear of vegetation that could short out the fence.
- Store unused tape in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan.
