FAQs
What is the maximum voltage the Fenceman tester can measure?
The Fenceman Electric Fence Tester Voltmeter can accurately test fence line voltage up to 6000v.
How do I know if my fence has sufficient voltage?
The tester features 6 LED lights. The more lights that illuminate, the higher the voltage. Consult the product manual for the specific voltage range each light represents.
Can this tester be used on any type of fence?
No, this tester is specifically designed for electric fences. It may not provide accurate readings or function correctly on non-electric fences.
Is the tester waterproof?
While built to withstand outdoor conditions, it is not fully waterproof. Avoid submerging the tester in water and keep it dry when not in use.
How often should I test my electric fence?
It is recommended to test your electric fence regularly, especially before turning animals into a pasture, after severe weather, or if you suspect a problem.
What should I do if the tester shows no reading?
First, ensure good contact with the fence wire. Then, check if the fence energizer is on and functioning. If the fence has power, the tester may be faulty, or the voltage may be below its detection threshold.
Does the tester require batteries?
No, the Fenceman Electric Fence Tester Voltmeter does not require batteries; it is powered by the electric fence itself.
Troubleshooting
No lights illuminate on the tester.
Ensure the tester is properly connected to the fence wire. Verify that the fence itself has power and is functioning. Check if the fence wire is making good contact with the tester's probe. The fence voltage might be too low to activate any lights.
Only one or two lights illuminate, indicating low voltage.
Check for breaks in the fence line, short circuits (e.g., vegetation touching the wire), or damaged insulators. Ensure the ground system for the fence energizer is adequate. The fence energizer may need servicing.
Tester appears damaged.
Do not use the tester if the casing or probe is visibly cracked or broken. Contact the manufacturer or retailer for a replacement.
