Testers and Voltmeters
Pipestone Farm Supply lists fence testers, voltmeters and fence-protection products for electric fencing. For a quick voltage check there is the Patriot six-light fence tester and digital voltmeter and the Speedrite digital voltmeter; the Speedrite digital fault finder and the remote control / fault finder show the direction of a fault on the line. A Patriot or Speedrite fence alert light sits on the line and shows at a glance whether the fence is still live. Protect the energizer with a Patriot or Corral lightning arrestor, a Speedrite lightning diverter, or the Speedrite internal lightning rod made for the 1000, 2000 and 3000 series or the 6000 and 6000i. Patriot and Speedrite warning signs mark a live fence for visitors and neighbours. For the voltage targets and ground-rod test in Manitoba Agriculture's guide, see our guide Electric Fence Supplies Checklist: Ground Rods, Insulators, Gates and Testers. Pick everything up in Millet or have it shipped Canada-wide.
