5.4 Testing your fence/earth connection
At least a 100 mtrs away from the earthing system, measure with a digital voltmeter
(art. no 4002227) if the current is more than 3000 V. Create a short circuit by putting iron
posts against the fence-wire. If the current measured on the earthing system is more than
300V more earthing rods need to be placed (distance 3 mtrs). Repeat the test.
6 Connecting the fencing
6.1 Fit fencing cable - Full power
a) Use *1.6mm
2
Remove approximately 2cm of the plastic sleeve on one side of the earth cable and
connect it to the blue left connection knob under the
wire is clamped down.
b) At the other end of the earth cable, remove approximately 4cm of the plastic sleeve and
connect the released wire with an earth clamp (Elephant art.no 056026) to the fencing.
Tighten the clamp.
6.2 Fit fencing cable - Reduced power
a) Use *1.6mm
2
Remove approximately 2cm of the plastic sleeve on one side of the earth cable and
connect it to the blue left connection knob under the
wire is clamped down.
b) At the other end of the earth cable, remove approximately 4cm of the plastic sleeve and
connect the released wire with an earth clamp (Elephant art.no 056026) to the fencing.
Tighten the clamp.
* When distances exceed 200m a lower resistance cable is required.
Elephant recommends for a distance of up to 100m 1.6mm
(Elephant art.no 4002500), and for a distance over 100m 2.5mm
(Elephant art.no 4002524).
