Rutland Professional ESM 10000i Mains- Powered Electric Fencing Energiser

The ESM 10000i is part of Rutland's "Intelligiser" range, designed to provide powerful and intelligent fence management for professional and large-scale applications. Its mains power source ensures consistent, high-energy output, making it ideal where reliability and strength are paramount.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Exceptional Power Output:

  • Stored Energy: 10.00 Joules (J)

  • Output Energy: 7.00 Joules (J)

  • This high energy output ensures a significant and effective shock, even on long fence lines or those experiencing heavy vegetation growth.

     

• "Intelligiser" Technology for Smart Performance:

  • Large, Permanently Lit Digital Display: Provides clear and instant readings of the energiser's status.

  • LED Bar Graph: Offers a quick visual indication of the current fence condition, allowing for easy monitoring from a distance. This helps you quickly identify any issues like shorts or breaks.

  • Optimally Adapted Fence Impulse: The energiser intelligently adjusts its pulse based on the load (resistance) of the fence. This ensures consistent and reliable performance, maximizing the effectiveness of the shock delivered to the animal, even as conditions (like vegetation growth) change.

  • Minimal Energy Consumption: Despite its high power, Rutland's "Powertronic" technology aims to optimize energy efficiency, keeping running costs down.

     

• Versatile Application:

  • Ideal for Long Fences: Capable of electrifying significant lengths, up to 40 km in ideal conditions.

  • Handles Heavy Vegetation: Crucially, it maintains effectiveness even with medium (13.3 km) to heavy (4.4 km) vegetation growth, which would severely diminish the performance of less powerful energisers.

  • Effective for Robust Animals: Specifically recommended for controlling strong animals like bulls, cattle, and sheep, which require a more significant deterrent.

  • Wild Animal Deterrence: Its power also makes it suitable for keeping out persistent wild animals.

• User-Friendly and Safe:

  • Micro-controller Controlled: Ensures precise and reliable operation.

  • High/Low Mode: Allows for switching between different power levels or simply turning the unit ON/OFF, offering flexibility for various needs.

  • High Safety Standards: Designed and manufactured to comply with the latest safety regulations, providing peace of mind.

• Robust Construction: Built to withstand the rigours of agricultural environments, ensuring durability and longevity.

• Complete Package: Typically includes fence and earth connection cables, and a 230V power pack for immediate setup.

• Warranty: Comes with a substantial warranty (e.g., 5 years), indicating manufacturer confidence in its quality.

Installation Considerations (General for Mains Energisers):

1. Location: Install the energiser indoors or in a weatherproof enclosure, close to a mains power socket and your fence line. Ensure it's protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

2. Earthing System: This is paramount for any electric fence, but especially for high-powered units like the ESM 10000i. You need a dedicated earth rod system. For this energiser, 3 x 1-meter earth posts are recommended. Drive them fully into moist ground, at least 3 meters apart, and connect them with high-quality galvanized wire.

3. Fence Connection: Connect the "Fence" terminal (usually red) on the energiser to your fence line using an insulated high-voltage lead-out cable.

4. Earth Connection: Connect the "Earth" terminal (usually green) on the energiser to your earthing system using another insulated high-voltage lead-out cable.

5. Power Supply: Plug the energiser into a standard 230V mains socket.

6. Testing: Always test your fence voltage with a fence tester to ensure it's performing effectively. The digital display and LED bar graph on the ESM 10000i will provide initial feedback.
