WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
If you suspect that the unit is not
working, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the unit from the
fence.
2. Check that the indicator light is
flashing.
3. Check that the voltage between the
fence and ground terminals is greater
than 4000 V, using a Patriot Digital
Voltmeter or Fence Tester.
4. If these tests are OK, you have an
installation problem.

Instructions for PE2, PE5 and PE10
Installation - Indoors/dry locations with AC 120 V line connection
1 Mount the unit on a suitable vertical support or wall material using a 3”
(75 mm) flat headed nail. Hammer in the nail, allowing it to protrude by
3/8” (10 mm). Slide the unit onto the nail with the nail inside the mounting
hole on the back of the unit.
2 Connect the Fence ground terminal (green) to a separate ground system that
is at least 33’ (10 m) away from other ground systems.
3 Connect the Fence output terminal (red) to the fence.
Note:
If the unit is being mounted on a wall made of concrete, brick, plasterboard
or similar, use a screw instead of a nail. A wall anchor or plug may also be
required.
Operation
1 Plug the unit into the AC 120 V power supply.
2 Turn on the AC 120 V power supply switch.
The pulse indicator light flashes each time the unit pulses.

Instructions for PE5B and PE10B
Installation and operation - DC 6 V/12 V battery connection
1 The unit can be mounted directly onto a steel T-post or Y-post using the
mounting slot in the case rear. Alternatively, the unit can be mounted onto a
wooden post, another suitable vertical support or suitable wall material
using a 3” (75 mm) flat headed nail. Hammer in the nail, allowing it to
protrude by 3/8” (10 mm). Slide the unit onto the nail with the nail inside
the mounting hole on the back of the unit.
2 Connect the Fence ground terminal (green) to a separate ground system that
is at least 33’ (10 m) away from other ground systems.
3 Connect the Fence output terminal (red) to the fence.
4 Connect the unit to a 6 V/12 V battery using the battery leads. Attach the +
(red) clip to the positive terminal of the battery, and the – (black) clip to its
negative terminal.
The pulse indicator light
flashes each time the unit
pulses.
5 To prevent damage caused
by stock interference and
bad weather, house the
battery and the unit in
protective enclosures.
Note:
If the unit is being mounted on a wall made of concrete, brick, plasterboard
or similar, use a screw instead of a nail. A wall anchor or plug may also be
required.
Caution!
When connecting the battery, be careful not to short-circuit the
supply terminals.

Battery information
Use a 6 V/12 V rechargeable lead-acid battery.
Do not dispose of the battery in a land-fill or in a fire.
In the event of a spill or leakage from a lead-acid battery:
• Contain small spills with dry sand, earth and vermiculite. Do not use
combustible materials. If possible, carefully neutralise spilled acid with soda
ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc.
• Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves and a face shield.
• Do not let acid get into the sewerage system.
• Neutralised acid must be managed in accordance with approved local, state
and federal requirements. Consult your state environmental agency and/or
federal EPA.
Battery charging
Warning!
- Do not attempt to recharge a non-rechargeable battery.
- When recharging a battery, ensure that there is adequate ventilation to
allow gases to disperse.
- The battery must be disconnected from the unit before connecting it to a
battery charger.
Regular recharging of the battery is essential. Use a suitably rated battery charger
and refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
Building an electric fence
Note:
This product has been designed for use with electric animal fences.

Grounding a fence
All-live fence - For most soil types
The animal receives a shock when it completes a circuit between the fence and
the ground system. The fence above has all live wires and requires conductive
soils.
Ground wire return fence - For dry, sandy or frozen ground conditions, where soil
conductivity is low.
The animal receives a shock when it completes a circuit between a live wire and a
ground wire. The fence above has both live wires and ground wires (not insulated
to the post). The ground wire is connected back to the grounding system.
7
Installing a ground system
Select a suitable site for the ground system. The site needs to be:
• At least 33’ (10 m) from other ground systems (e.g. telephone, AC 120 V
power or the ground system of another unit).
• Away from stock or other traffic that could interfere with the installation.
• At a site that can be easily observed for maintenance.
• Ideally at a site that has damp soil (e.g. a shaded or swampy location).
Note:
The site for the ground system does not need to be directly adjacent to
where the unit is installed.
Drive a single ground rod into the soil. Use insulated cable to connect the ground
rod to the unit’s Fence ground terminal. Ensure that there is a good electrical
connection at both ends.

Safety considerations
Warning!
- PE5B and PE10B only - Do not connect to AC 120 V operated equipment.
- PE2, PE5 and PE10 only - To reduce the risk of electric shock, the unit has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
- Disconnect the unit from the supply before installation or performing any
work on the fence.
- Read all the safety considerations carefully.
- Check your installation to ensure that it complies with all local safety
regulations.
- Do not connect simultaneously to a fence and to any other device such as a
cattle trainer or a poultry trainer. Otherwise, lightning striking your fence will
be conducted to all other devices.
Notes:
- This product has been designed for use with electric animal fences.
- Keep these instructions in a handy location.

Safe electric fence construction
Warning!
Read before use.
An electric fence can be hazardous when there is a risk of entrapment or
entanglement, or other hazards exist. Serious injury or death may result. Take all
steps to avoid the risk of entrapment or entanglement.
Hazards
Do not climb through or under an electric fence. If it is necessary to cross an
electric fence use a gate or specially designed crossing point.
Do not allow young or infirm persons to use this unit without supervision. Do
not allow young children to play with this unit or near an electric fence or
electrified wires.
Do not electrify barbed wire.
Do not support off-set electrified wires less than 6” (150 mm) from the
vertical plane of a barbed wire fence.
Do not electrify any fence construction which could lead to entanglement of
persons or animals. We recommend for instance, that no more than one
electrified off-set wire be supported on either side of a barbed wire or mesh
fence.
Do not supply an electric fence from two units.
Do not allow electrified wires from two units on the same or adjacent
properties to be less than 8’ (2.5 m) apart.
Do not place the unit’s ground electrode within 33’ (10 m) of any part of a
power supply ground system or telecommunications ground system.
Do not run electric fence wires above or close to overhead power or
communication lines.
