A. Regardless of make or model of fence charger, it is essential the fencer be grounded properly. Think of an electric fence as an independent electrical circuit. In order for the circuit to operate properly, it must be grounded. AC models operated on poor ground will continuously blow fuses and will eventually be damaged by a poor ground. Battery models operated on a poor ground will have little or no shock on the fence.
All models are case grounded.
If you receive a shock when you touch the fencer, this automatically indicates poor ground. Remember, poor ground costs you. Refer to the fencer Owner's Manual for detailed grounding instructions. All four models are equipped with Parmak's exclusive performance meter which tells the customer the exact condition of fence. For those customers using Poly wire or Poly tape, any of the Parmak solid-state models can be used with this type of fence without difficulty.
