What happens here
The presenter demonstrates how to connect the StarkLine S1400 solar electric fence charger to the poultry netting. The ground rod is hammered into the soil using a hammer. The blue (negative/ground) alligator clip is attached to the ground rod as close to the ground as possible to ensure good conductivity. The red (positive/hot) alligator clip is connected to the top, electrified wire of the netting. Once connected, the fence charger is turned on, and the presenter verifies its functionality by hearing the characteristic "popping" sound. He then uses a StarkLine Multi-Light Electric Fence Tester to confirm the voltage output.
Goal: Properly connect the electric fence charger and verify its functionality
