GROUNDING ROD At a Glance: Instead of a single six to eight foot copper rod, rod, each complete kit contains four individual 2-foot copper-clad sections, which is what makes the revolutionary Sectional Copper Ground Kit uniuely simple to transport, and very easy to install! "hree sectional ground rod kits, spaced at least #$% apart in a triangular configuration, are recommended to complete each &lectro'raid system! (ry, rocky, rocky, sandy or fro)en soils may reuire more sectional ground rod kits! *lso, longer electric electric fences often often reuire grounding systems systems with multiple multiple rods! +ere%s all you do!!!
Insert the male end of the ground rod into the hardened-steel tip
irst!!! select the right location -- it should e within 2. feet of the energi)er and .$ feet from any other grounding system! /sing a wrench, tighten the hardened steel tip onto the first 2% ground rod section! "his makes it easier to reak through rocks elow the ground!
Place the black anil onto the female end of the ground rod
"his will protect the threads on the end of the ground rod from ecoming damaged during installation! "his anvil is removed, and reused for each 2% section!
!ammer first section of the ground rod into earth
/sing a ruer mallet, simply hammer the first section into the ground, with the specially designed anvil on the end you are hammering, and the hardened steel tip in the ground! TIP: 0hile pounding in your ground rods, apply a steady stream of water at the entry point! "his helps soften the TIP: 0hile ground for easier installation!
*ttach next 2% section section on top of the rod that is in the the earth
1lace the anvil on top efore hammering each section into the ground, to prevent damage to the threads! *ttach the additional sections, repeating steps 2 and -- make sure that the last segment is aout . inches aove the ground! 3nce all 4 sections are in the ground, you will have a f ull 5% ground rod!
*ttach the clamp to the ground rod 6 the wire to the clamp
/se a wrench to tighten the ground rod clamp onto the top ground rod section! "hen thread the copper lead out wire through the olts of the ground rod clamp!
"ighten the wire to the clamp with a wrench
Connect the ground wires, and repeat with more Sectional Ground 7ods to complete your &lectro'raid grounding system! It%s really that simple8 "he &lectro'raid Sectional Copper Ground Kit uses the est materials, and ensures that your fence system can function properly, keeping your horse safe! &xpert "ips
ollow the instructions in the owners manual, they will guide you through the process! 3ne terminal of the charger will connect to the fence while the other terminal will connect to earth ground wire! Click on image at right to enlarge.
Sandy, dry and rocky soils may reuire a ground-wire return system or 9"wo 0ire System9!
:ake sure you have connected the grounding rod properly; It must go to the ground terminal on the charger! (o not make the mistake of connecting it to the fence wire or fence terminal8
Grounding rods may e copper or galvani)ed! "he enefit of copper is that it transports the electrical charge more efficiently than the galvani)ed rod= however, it is more expensive than a galvani)ed rod!
Ans"ers to the #A$s
$: !o" does a ground s%stem "ork&
A: *n animal touching the fence wire and the earth simultaneously provides a path for electricity to follow!
"he electricity passes through the animal into the soil and ack to the ground rods, which are connected to the ground terminal of the fence charger! 3nly then is the circuit complete and the animal receives an electrical shock!
$: 'hat t%pe of hook-up "ire should I use&
A: 0e recommend an 5-foot ground rod>clamp>2$,$$$ volt insulated hook-up wire in most cases!
$: (esides the charger) posts and fence "ire) "hat else do I need for properl% grounding m% fence&
A:
?ou%ll need several other items to properl% ground your electric fence! +ere@s what we recommend; •
A"hreeB -foot or 5-foot copper or galvani)ed .>59 ground rods A*-D, *-2# or *-22B
•
A3neB insulated hookup wire, #2 E or #4 gauge
•
A"hreeB +eavy (uty galvani)ed ground rod clamps
•
*ine clamps to connect insulated hookup wire to the fence line! "he type of clamp used will vary with the type of fence line you are using!
$: !o" do %ou check %our grounding s%stem&
Check your ground system y placing a metal rod A#2-#5 inchesB into the ground at a distance of aout feet from the ground rodAsB!
A:
*ttach one voltmeter lead to the metal rod and connect the other lead to the ground rod! If the voltmeter shows more than .$$ volts A$!. kilovoltsB, it will e necessary to replace the existing ground rod y a longer one, or to add more ground rods! "he distance etween any two ground rods should e at least #$ feet!
