patura P6000 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 68

If the fence, earth and energiser are in good condition and the voltage is still below 4 kV, talk
to your PATURA distributor. They will help you identify whether recent extensions to your fence,
a poor fence layout, or soil conditions may be causing inadequate voltage.
How do I locate faults?
The recommended tool for locating faults is the PATURA Fence Compass.
This combined voltage and current meter allows you to rapidly locate sources of current
leakage. Alternatively, use a PATURA Digital Voltmeter or Fence Tester. Use cut-out switches to
turn off the power to different sections of the electric animal fence. If the voltage on the fence
increases when a section of the electric fence is turned off, then investigate that section for pos-
sible faults.
There are no lights flashing on the energiser.
Check the power supply. Ensure that the power is switched on. If the energiser still does not
operate, request your PATURA service centre to check the energiser.
The energiser does not respond to commands from the Remote Control Handset.
• Ensure you have a P4600 or P6000. The P4500 does not respond to commands from a
remote control handset.
• Ensure that the remote contact on the Remote Control Handset is in contact with the fence
wire before pressing
make the remote control work better). After pressing
the ON or OFF message to disappear from the display, as the energiser may send out a
final pulse after receiving the command to deactivate. Similarly, allow two seconds for the
energiser to send out its first pulse after receiving the command to reactivate.
• If the battery symbol is displayed on the Remote Control Handset, replace the 9 V alkaline
battery and try again.
• Rusty or oxidised wire can hamper the quality of the signal you receive. To obtain a clear
signal, rub the Remote contact against the fence wire to break through the layer of rust or
oxidation.
• Ensure that no gates or cut-out switches have been left open.
• Sometimes the remote control will work in spite of minor breaks in the wire, although
reliable operation under such conditions is not guaranteed.
• Check for spark gaps and loose wire joints in the fence. Severe or multiple spark gaps
reduce the effectiveness of the remote control.
• Use the fault finding function of the remote control to locate faults in the fence line.
• Check all connections to the fence and the earth system. Ensure that the energiser is
connected to the power supply and the fence system and that the energiser is switched on.
