Your energizer should be installed in a clean, sheltered location away from direct moisture and sunlight

It also needs to be accessible to a separate ground rod system.

If you're using an AC energizer, the location should be as close to the power source and the electric fence as possible.

Even though the energizer's enclosure is basically weatherproof, it is advisable to install it indoors or in weatherproof housing.

Be sure to install porcelain tube-type insulators (or equivalent) in the walls of buildings or housings where the fence wires feed through.

Never allow the fence wires to come into contact with objects which may conduct the electric "charge" to ground.

Frequently inspect the area where the energizer is installed and maintain it as a clean and dry environment.
