Instrucciones de funcionamiento
Taking a VoltagLectura electrónica
This image illustrates the process of taking a voltage reading with the Gallagher Digital Volt Meter. A hand holds the device, with its top probe touching the electric fence wire and the integrated ground rod inserted into the earth. The digital display shows a reading of "2.0 kV", indicating the fence voltage.
- Hold the volt meter firmly.
- Insert the integrated ground rod (or connect the earth lead) into the ground. Ensure good contact with moist soil if possible.
- Touch the metal probe at the top of the volt meter to the electric fence wire.
- The device will automatically turn on and display the voltage reading in kilovolts (kV) on the digital screen.
- Lea el volumen mostradotage. The meter provides 100V precision under 10kV and 1,000V steps above.
Interpretación de lecturas
A healthy electric fence should maintain a consistent voltage level, typically above 3 kV for effective animal control. Fluctuations or significantly low readings may indicate issues such as shorts, vegetation contact, or energizer problems.

It signifies the device's water-resistant design and long battery life, built to withstand various weather conditions and provide reliable performance.
Solución de problemas
No Reading or Low Reading
- Comprobar la batería: Ensure the 9V battery is properly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
- Ground Contact: Verify that the ground rod has good contact with the earth. If the ground is dry, moisten the area around the rod.
- Fence Contact: Ensure the probe makes firm contact with the live fence wire.
- Fence Shorts: A low reading often indicates a short circuit on the fence line (e.g., vegetation touching the wire, broken insulators). Inspect the fence line for any obstructions or damage.
- Energizer Issue: If the fence line is clear and the meter still shows low or no reading, the energizer may be faulty. Test the energizer output directly if possible.
Lecturas inexactas
- Mala conexión a tierra: Ensure the ground rod is deeply inserted and has good electrical contact with the soil.
- Interferencia: Keep the meter away from other strong electrical fields during measurement.
