Mount the S-185B in a dry location away from direct water exposure, ideally under a shelter or in a shed. Drive a quality earth stake at least 1 metre into moist ground and connect it to the earth terminal—this is non-negotiable for the unit to work properly. Run your live wire from the energiser around your paddock and back to the earth stake, keeping vegetation cleared from the fence line by at least 10cm to prevent energy loss. Tips: Check your earth stake regularly, especially after dry spells—poor earthing kills your fence performance faster than anything else. In Queensland heat, keep the solar panel clean and angle it north; a dusty panel loses serious output when you need it most. If you're running a long perimeter on battery power, start with a smaller mob to test your setup before committing the whole herd.
