There must be NO wire between the two terminals or arcing will
occur.
4. Push a 20-30 cm (8-11”) earth rod into the ground immediately beside the
fence post. Position the earth rod to avoid interference by animals. The top of
the earth rod should protrude just out of the ground.
5. Cut ~1.5 m (5’) of insulated underground fence cable to connect the fence
node to the earth rod (e.g tent peg). Strip 20 mm (3/4”) of insulation at both
ends. Use a joint clamp to connect one end of the cable to the earth rod.
Connect the other end to the earth terminal on the node ( ). To do this,
undo the earth terminal, insert the cable between the washer and the node,
then tighten the earth terminal finger-tight.
There must be NO wire between the two terminals or arcing will
occur.
6. Use cable ties to secure the earth cable to the fence post.
7. Drive to the location of the next node and begin the installation process for the
next and all remaining nodes.
