General Purpose 1m Earth Spike:
The earthing system is an integral part of your energiser's performance. Inadequate earthing is the most common failure in electric fence operation.
Connect your Earth Spike to the energiser using the leads supplied with your battery energiser, one of the cables from the Earth/Live Cable Set or by using double insulated high voltage cable, HT/G Cable particularly if you are using a mains powered energiser.
Particularly if your land is likely to become very dry in the summer, we would recommend choosing the longer 1.5m earth spike and would suggest connecting a minimum of 1 earth spike for each 1000m of fence line. If/when connecting multiple earth spikes, join the earth spikes together using a 1m length of wire and bury them completely.
Always ensure that the earth spikes are installed at least 10m away from any other earth system - e.g. Household.
