Charger Distance Ratings
The amount of fence line that your Zareba® charger can operate depends on several factors, including the type of fence line you’re choosing. Steel wire, for example, carries power further along the fence line than poly fencing. This fence is ideal for light weed or no weed conditions. Vegetation, weeds, and fallen tree branches may limit the distance electricity can be carried along a fence line. Ensure your fence is working to the best of its ability by regularly walking the fence line to check for disturbances.

|---|---|---|---|
| No Weeds | Light Weeds | Heavy Weeds | |
| Steel Wire | 5 miles | 2.5 miles | - |
| Polywire | 2.5 miles | 1.25 miles | - |
Solar Power Built to Last
To prepare your charger for use, switch the on/off button to the “off” position and allow it to receive 3 days of sunlight. After that, the charger is ready to use! The solar panel is designed to store solar energy that will last up to 2 weeks without sunlight.
Easy-Grip Knobs
Connecting your fence is simple with the easy-grip knobs on your 5-mile solar Zareba® charger. Attach the fence’s ground wire to the post with the green knob and the live hot wire to the red knob. Remember to turn your charger off before making any connecting wire adjustments and then turn it back on so it continues to gather solar energy. Knobs are designed to be under the charger to reduce exposure to the elements. The durable cabinet protects the circuitry from weather extremes.
Solar Charger Installation Guide
To properly install your Zareba® electric fence charger, charge it first by exposing it to the sun for 72 hours. After that, mount it and attach connections as directed.
Your charger includes a number of features to make installation easy, including:
- No outlets necessary – Place anywhere on your property.
- Easy-grip terminal knobs, color-coded for easy wiring.
- Install on t-posts, wood posts, or flat walls.
- Optionally, install through hanging holes built-in the heavy-duty case
