Regular maintenance of your electric fence is essential to ensure its effectiveness and to avoid unnecessary false alarms or unexpected shocks. Follow these key steps:
- Inspect your electric fence regularly for damaged, broken, or corroded wires, as well as worn or damaged insulators.
- Prune trees and shrubs to prevent foliage from touching the wires, and clear away dead insects or debris that may cause grounding.
- Check that the wire tension is correct – loose or earthing wires can trigger false alarms.
- Replace the energiser battery periodically to maintain reliable performance.
- Verify that each fence zone corresponds correctly with the zone display.
- Test your electric fence regularly to confirm that the alarm activates as intended.
