Fence tester "farmer®" - The be-all and end-all for a safe pasture fence!
The new "farmer®" fence tester from horizont impresses with its innovation and compactness. It is equipped with a bright, clearly visible, 10-stage LED control display. The tester measures in a voltage range from 1,000 to 10,000 volts. In addition, the fence tester has a quality indicator of the cap voltage. This is shown by the 10-stage LED display in colors ranging from red to green.
Another advantage of the new fence tester from horizont is the small and handy housing. It is no problem to attach the tester to your key ring or to carry it always in your pocket. Practical!
The compactness of the fence tester is not the only advantage, however; the tester is also uncomplicated to use and impresses with its durability!
By pressing the big red button once, the push button, a voltage test is easily possible. The only thing to note is that the contact area on the back of the fence tester touches the conductor material. To do this, simply hold the wide metal strip located on the back of the tester against the conductor material to be measured and press the button - and you will receive feedback on the quality of your fence voltage. Uncomplicated and practical!
What tension should a herd-proof pasture fence have?
The necessary tension for a herd-proof pasture fence depends on the animals to be herded and the ground conditions. The following basic specifications can be used as guidelines for this:
- more than 2,000 volts for easy herding animals such as cow, horse, pig.
- more than 4,000 volts for normal soil conditions
- up to 1,000 volts more in dry soil conditions, due to the poorer conductivity of the soil
