Testing Your Fence
To ensure your fence is operating properly, and your animals are contained safely, it is important to test your fence regularly. Using a Zareba Systems Electric Fence Tester you can measure fence line and fence charger voltage.
Lightning And Power Surge Protection
Lightning is often the cause of fence charger failure. To prolong the life of your charger consider the following:
- Disconnect the charger from the power source when storms are near
- Install a lightning diverter/arrestor to divert lightning to the earth
- Use a lightning choke to dissipate power surges caused by lightning

horses, and it let's them know it's there, although wouldn't trust it would keep in a large animal
LOL
We reached out to Amazon and they did give us a number to call. My husband will do so and we will see if Zareba will replace or refund our money. Amazon will do nothing as it is up to the manufacturer.
So disappointing after our success with our first Zareba purchase.
Nowhere in its ad (that I could find) does it say "not for deer" ; only says it is for small animals. The only place it does say not for deer is in the multiple pics provided in the ad. Unless you have scrolled thru every one of these you would never know. It also disingenuously shows a pic of sheep...similar in size to deer. Misleading I would say.
Since I now owned it I was determined to make the best of a bad situation and here is how to do that.
Do NOT scrimp on the grounding procedures but rather go beyond what they recommend. Your house's electrical system is undoubtedly grounded with a huge copper stake and copper wire. I used the same. My fence wire is ALUMINUM..critical for its superior conductivity over stainless steel. My run is as short as I could make it, charging only one outer strand on my 3d fence and cutting off the excess. I cut everything down in terms of grass or weeds from touching the fence. Use good cinching metal connectors and not just wrapping wire around wire. Electricity hates air between wires. Leave your charger turned off during the day if possible to get the best charge and point it primarily west to get full afternoon and evening sun. I did all these things and the shock I get touching the wire even with running shoes on is so uncomfortable that I can only stand to receive one pulse of energy and have to jerk my finger away. Deer test things by smell and they get the same treatment only on their nose(usually). I have only had my charger in operation for 3 days but so far have had NO deer incursions. Is this due to my 3d fence setup or my outer charged wire? Who knows? Will update.

installed it on wooden pickets with the insulating rings, bought the zareba poly wire and grounded it with some old stripped copper electrical wire.
big baby tried it twice and understood. haven't had a single espace attempt since!
i was scared for the dog (miniature bull terrier) since she's much smaller , 50 pounds, she caught it once and she also got the message loud and clear.
i expect nothing but good results from now on if i trim the weeds regularly
