Parmak Range Master (RM-1) Low Impedance Electric Fence Charger, UL Listed, 3.5 Joules
The Range Master, suited to powering and trouble-shooting long horse fences, is an electric fence charger with many bells and whistles. The RM-1 comes with a digital performance meter that shows the voltage on the electric fence wire to within 100 volts, a multi-light display that indicates conditions on the fence, and an audible and visible shut-down alarm that goes off if the electric fence charger is not functioning properly. Voltage and joule data: Parmak reports that the RM-1 puts out 15,000 volts on an open circuit, 7,300 volts with a 500-ohm weed burden, and 4,700 volts with a 100-ohm weed burden. The RM-1 is rated by us at about 3.5 joules. Target animals: Like the SE-4, the RM-1 is useful for containing cattle and other livestock. It is also well-suited to repelling deer using unbaited electric fences and to keeping out many other wild animals including wolves, bears, and bison. General data: The RM-1 features advanced solid-state circuitry, fuse protection with built-in lightning arrestors, color coded positive and ground terminals, digital and LED displays, and a two-year warranty against defects and lightning damage. The RM-1 must be installed in a clean, dry location protected from the weather. Instructions and mounting screws are included.
