RADIO AND TELEPHONE INTERFERENCE

The fence controller ground system must be sufficient see grounding illustration.

The fence controller ground system must be at least 50 ft. away from the utility ground and buried water pipes.

The fence controller MUST NOT be connected to the AC utility ground rod or water pipe.

The fence controller ground wire should not touch buildings which can act as a broadcast antenna. Use insulated cable ( 10 to 14 gauge wire insulated from 600V to 20,000V) or high quality electric fence insulators to isolate the ground wire.

Place the fence controller and its ground system at least 50 ft. away from radios and buried telephone wires.

Avoid running electric fence parallel to power lines or telephone lines.

Use top quality insulators. Poor quality insulators arc when they crack or become weather checked; this arcing causes radio interference.

To locate shorts, poor splices, broken wires, and faulty insulators, walk the fence line with a transistor radio tuned off the station on the AM band and on high volume. The radio will click louder as you approach an arcing insulator.
