Since 1938, we have staked our reputation on providing industrial grade electric fencing products to the serious farmer that really work. Products that prove themselves through performance, rather than through a bunch of promises.

Time is money. If we can save you time dealing with your electric fence system then we are all for it.

An electric fence generally requires regular maintenance. The Speedrite Remote Control is designed to save you time spent on maintenance so you can concentrate on more productive tasks around the farm.

Using a remote control allows you the flexibility to work on the fence without repeatedly having to return to the energizer to switch it on and off. Should you discover a fault with your fence while out on the property, or you wish to make alterations to your fence system, no matter where you are on the fence-line you can turn power from your energizer on or off with the push of a button.

The remote works by sending high frequency radio waves down the fence line which are then interpreted by the Speedrite energizer as an instruction. The action is almost instantaneous, so you do not have to worry about lag times. To double-check you can use the remote hand-piece to show if any voltage is present on the fence or listen for the audible note from the hand-piece indicating an electric pulse is present.

To avoid any possible ‘cross-over’ from nearby farms using their remote, 16 different frequency settings are available for your remote to operate on. When you set your energizer to receive a particular frequency, this means you are able to use more than one remote for the same energizer utilising the same frequency. This allows multiple workers to hold remotes and so have the same amount of flexibility.

You can’t manage what you can’t measure

Not only is the Speedrite Remote Control the most effective on the market, it is the only remote to include fault finding capabilities. The Speedrite Remote Control (ST102) and Digital Fault Finder (ST100) give you the ability to quickly locate shorts on your fence, saving you time and money.

The fault finder, unlike standard voltmeters, requires no ground lead. It also measures more than volts, it measures current flow (amps), crucial in detecting shorts on a fence. The Fault Finder indicates the direction of the fault by detecting the direction of the current flow toward the short.

Using the Fault Finder

Start near the energizer's leadout wires. Move down the fence line following the arrow away from the energizer. Take readings at regular intervals and at any junction points. The previous current reading is shown briefly in the top right corner of the screen so that you can compare the readings. If the current reading suddenly falls, you have gone past a fault. Retrace your steps to find the fault.

Current direction arrows

The large current direction arrows show the direction of current flow. If standing ‘downstream’ of a fault, the current reading will be low because much of the current is flowing into the ground. The arrow will still point ‘downstream’ or away from the energizer, but because of the low current reading you will know to move ‘upstream’ and towards the energizer to find the fault.
In the example above, if you were to first put your Fault Finder on the fence ‘downstream’ of the fault, you would find a current of 6 A and know to move in the opposite direction of the arrow until the current increases. This is especially useful on long or complicated fences where you may not know the direction of current flow.
