Quick guide from the manual
The Horizont 14495E is a handheld fence tester designed for quick voltage checks. It does not require external earthing, as the user's body acts as the reference point. Always ensure your index finger is placed in the recess on the underside of the device during measurement.
Device Overview
The device features a control button, a battery status indicator, and a 6-LED display to show the voltage level of the fence. The device is powered by a 9V block battery.
Operation
To measure the voltage of your electric fence:
- Place the fence tester contact point against the fence material.
- Place your index finger in the recess on the underside of the device to ensure proper grounding.
- Press and hold the control button.
- Observe the LED display to read the voltage level.
Battery Replacement
The device operates on a 9V block battery. If the battery control indicator (marked with 3) lights up red, the battery must be replaced.
Voltage Indicators
The device uses 6 LEDs to indicate the voltage level:
- 10.000 - 6.000 V: Green light
- 6.000 - 4.000 V: Green light
- 4.000 - 2.000 V: Green light
