What happens here

The farmer retrieves the Premier1 Solar IntelliShock 60 energizer. He explains its self-grounding design, which includes a ground rod that slides into the bottom of the unit and is driven into the soil. The energizer is connected to the fence by attaching the black (ground) clip to the ground rod and the red (hot) clip to one of the electrified wires of the netting. He emphasizes the importance of mowing the grass beneath the fence to prevent the electricity from shorting into tall grass, which would reduce effectiveness, especially at night when predators are active. The unit provides pulses of electricity, not constant current, to humanely deter animals.

Goal: The farmer connects the solar-powered Premier1 IntelliShock 60 energizer to the electric fence, explaining its self-grounding mechanism and the importance of clearing grass to prevent shorting.

for the next ten days and then we'll rotate them again and we'll move them over here and we'll move them over there and that's how we do it man that's how we keep the yard fertilized and keep our Birds happy this is the until a shocking pretty cool so it's a built-in fully adjustable solar panel this again is from the same brand premiere one from your fencing products I'll post a link down the video description I'm a true believer in this thing you can angle this you want it pointed due south depending on where you are in the hemisphere or in the world you own this solar panel facing due south it's simple all you do is the ground which is black and hook it to the ground and the red which is the hot and hook it to the fence pretty cool now it's self grounding this whole setup is self grounding so there's a little channel underneath here and this is your grounding rod it slides right in there and then that spike sticks in the ground now we've used this for years okay no battery replacement no issues whatsoever and what we've got to do if I can get this guy out with one hand we'll set this back down on the ground out of the way make sure you have safety glasses when you do this but you see how rusty this is so when we move it if it gets a little corroded or rusty just take a wire wheel clean it up dress it up and that way it sticks in the ground and it gets good ground contact it's very important to have good ground with any electric fence okay now let's talk about how electric fences work because a lot of people don't understand it so this is the solar panel the solar panel absorbs solar energy and takes it in through a circuit board here it charges some batteries that are inside this unit now the own off switch for this unit and you'll see it flashing hopefully I don't have it touching me look here it pop got me so you see it flashes it gives a little pop a little zap it doesn't give constant electricity in other words it gives a pulse of electricity and what you want to do reason we cut the grass right here is so that that pulse of electricity wouldn't go straight into the grass if we got tall grass we need to make sure that we trim the grass so the electricity doesn't get wasted and kill the battery and render this ineffective at nighttime especially when we want to keep the Predators out so I'm going to clean this guy up just a little bit and then we'll stick them in the ground and I'll show you how we hook it to the fence and we'll talk to you just a…
