Field Guardian Highlander (FGS050) Low Impedance Electric Fence Charger, UL Listed, 0.5 Joules The FGS050 (a match for the Power Wizard 500S) can power medium to long electric fences for excluding deer (both baited and unbaited) and can deal with significant weed loads. It is also a good choice among the solar-powered chargers for powering fences designed to exclude large animals. The FGS050 comes with a solar panel and a two 12-volt (5 amp-hour) batteries inside its case. Voltage data: This charger keeps 4000 to 6000 volts on the fence when the weed burden is light to moderate (providing a 200 to 500 ohm path to the ground). This voltage falls to 2700 (still enough to reliably shock deer with a baited fence) when the weed burden becomes heavy, providing a 100-ohm path to the ground. Joule range: The FGS050 puts out 0.4 to 0.5 joules over circuits with resistances ranging from 100 to 500 ohms. (For more about joules see About Fence Power and Joules). Other animals: The FGS050 is useful for containing all types of livestock (including cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and exotics) and for excluding a wide range of other animals (including foxes, coyotes, wolves, javelinas, feral pigs, mountain lions, bears, and bison). General data: The weatherproof and portable FGS050 is designed to provide peak joule output under difficult fence conditions and employs modular circuitry for quick and easy repair. Other features include built-in lightning protection (additional protection by means of a properly grounded lightning choke is recommended for long fences), a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects and lightning damage, and a flashing light that indicates when the electric fence charger and its immediate fence connections are working properly. |
