Product Information
Full details
The Corral Fence Checker is an essential diagnostic tool for farmers, livestock owners, and property managers who rely on electric fencing systems to secure their perimeter. This compact, hand-held device allows users to verify fence voltage quickly, ensuring livestock remain contained and wildlife is kept out. Its standout benefit is the ability to measure voltage without the hassle of a ground spike, though users should note that the device requires a 12V battery and is best used for routine monitoring rather than heavy-duty electrical fault finding.

FAQs
Do I need to carry a ground spike to use this?
No, this specific model is designed for ground-spike-free operation, making it much faster to use in the field.
What type of battery does it use?
It is powered by one 12V alkaline battery, which is included with your purchase.
Can this device show me the exact voltage number?
No, it provides visual and audible signals to indicate if the fence is energized, rather than displaying an exact numerical voltage.
Is the device waterproof?
While the device is designed for outdoor use, it should be kept dry and protected from direct submersion or heavy rain.
How do I know if the battery in the checker is dying?
You can use the built-in battery test function to check the power level of the unit before you start your fence inspections.
Troubleshooting
No audible or visual signal when near the fence
First, use the battery test function to ensure the 12V battery is not dead. If the battery is fine, check that the fence energizer is actively outputting power.
Weak or intermittent signals
Ensure you are holding the device at the recommended distance from the wire. Interference can occur if the device is touching high-density vegetation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Corral Fence Checker, ensure the 12V alkaline battery is installed correctly. Before your first test, utilize the integrated battery test function to verify that the unit has sufficient power. The device is designed to be compatible with most standard electric fence configurations. For maintenance, keep the sensor area clean and free of debris or heavy moisture. When not in use, store the unit in a dry environment to prolong the lifespan of the internal circuitry. Always check the battery levels periodically, especially if the device sits idle for extended periods during off-seasons.
