Connectors

Connectors are essential components for building and maintaining an efficient electric fence. They allow you to connect different parts of the fence and ensure proper tension for the conductor wire or tape. One important connector in this system is the tensioner, which comes in different forms such as a toothed wheel or a ratchet block made of durable plastic.

Tensioner for electric fence wire

The tensioner is a crucial element when it comes to building an electric fence, as it ensures the conductor wire or tape is at the right tension. This not only helps to maintain the structural integrity of the fence but also ensures the electric shock is delivered effectively to deter animals from crossing.

Our tensioners come equipped with toothed wheels or ratchet blocks, both of which offer reliable and precise tensioning capabilities. This allows you to easily adjust the tension of the conductor wire or tape as needed. The toothed wheel tensioner is ideal for smaller fences or sections, while the ratchet block is better suited for larger and longer fences.

Durable and versatile materials

Our tensioners are made of high-quality plastic that is both durable and weather-resistant. This makes them suitable for use in any type of outdoor environment, ensuring they will last for many years to come. They are also designed to work with different types of conductor wire and tape, making them a versatile choice that can be used for various electric fence configurations.

The toothed wheels and ratchet blocks on our tensioners are designed to provide a secure grip on the conductor wire or tape, preventing any slippage or sagging. This ensures that your fence remains intact and effective at all times.

Easy to install and use

Our tensioners are designed for easy installation and use. They can be easily attached to the fence posts or other connectors using screws or other fasteners. Once installed, you can simply turn the tensioner using the toothed wheel or ratchet block to adjust the tension of the conductor wire or tape.

Their lightweight and compact design also makes them a convenient choice for building and maintaining electric fences. They take up minimal space and can be easily carried and stored when not in use.

In conclusion

For a reliable and efficient electric fence, it is important to choose high-quality connectors such as tensioners with toothed wheels or ratchet blocks. These components not only provide proper tension for the conductor wire or tape but also help to maintain the overall strength and effectiveness of the fence. Easy to install and use, our tensioners are a versatile and durable solution for all your electric fence needs.

              Questions and Answers

              Why insert 3 poles for the grounding of the electric fence?

              Grounding is a fundamental thing for the functionality of the electric fence for animals, so it is recommended to do it correctly. To have the total discharge of current by the energiser, it is necessary to make the grounding by inserting 3 galvanized poles of 1 meter in the ground. They must be positioned 3 meters apart, 80 cm in the wet ground and 20 cm outside, and then connect them with the yellow cable. Together with the electric fence, we supply only 1 meter of cable that must be connected to the first pole. It is recommended to do it where there is the presence of vegetation, therefore a moist soil. Arid soil is not conductive. According to the tests carried out, placing 3 poles in any type of terrain, there will be no problem with functionality. If you put only one stake, the power of the current felt will be less than its range and the animals will be able to cross the fence.

              How long does a battery last for the portable energiser, and which one should I use?

              For a B12 energiser it is sufficient to use a 12V 40Ah car battery. The autonomy, if there is no dispersion in the electric fence, is about 10/12 days. Otherwise it lasts less.

              The current is a bit far from the electric animal enclosure. What to do? How to join two fences?

              If the current is far from the electric fence, for your Gemi energiser - 100% Made in Italy -, we have the high-voltage crossing cable that can work on the surface or underground, without discharging. With this cable it is possible to carry current on the fence, without any dispersion. The cable for electric fences can also be used to join two fences, then connect one end to a first fence and the other end to a second fence, when there is little distance between one fence and another.

              How to see if there is electricity on the fence?

              To check if there is current on the electric fence for animals, just bring the tip of a screwdriver with an insulated handle a few mm away from the fence wire. The moment you hear a ticking, it means that there is current on the electric fence.

              How to install the Electric Fence ?

              An energizer cannot be kept outdoors. It must be kept indoors to prevent damage from the weather. In order to discharge all its current, it must be earthed by inserting 3 galvanized 1 meter stakes into the ground. They must be placed 3 m apart, 80 cm in the ground (wet) and 20 cm outside, and then connected with the yellow-green cable. The device has a red positive cable at its output which is connected to the fence and a yellow-green cable which is connected to the first ground stake. Never connect two electrifiers to the same wire, as the two impulses may cancel each other out, causing problems. You can connect two electrifiers to the same fence, but keep them on two separate lines of wire.
