Fence Alert FENCING Fence Systems 17-6-37 Our new Fence Alert is fitted with flashing strobe lights that can be seen from up to 4 miles away at night if fence line voltage ever drops. The battery-powered light mounts on top of a post. A sensor wire clips to a fence wire and continuously monitors the line volt-age. If` a break, short, or charger malfunction occurs, the sensor instantly activates the unit's high intensity flashing bulb. It continues to flash until the fence is restored to proper operating level. It does not draw power or affect fencer operation in any way.
I'm a farmer myself and I invented this alarm for my own use. Farmers spend too much time doing visual fence inspections or chasing cattle after they break through a fence. This alarm saves time, expense and frustration. An adjustable cut-in point lets you select the minimum voltage range you want. When voltage drops below that point, the light will begin to flash. It'll monitor anywhere between 100 to 10,000 volts and works on AC or DC-powered fencers.
The Fence Alert uses a 6-volt lantern battery. There are two models - one for fences close to the farmstead ($74.90) that flashes every 15 sec. and one for further away that's 100 times more powerful than the farmstead model ($79.90). It flashes once every 60 sec., providing a strong signal while prolonging battery life. (Kevin Stollen-berg, Kadre Corp, P.O. Box 817, Water-town, S. Oak. 57201 ph 800 373-0213 or 605 886-8113)
