Speedrite 3000 • Peak output: 3.00 joules • Pulses per minute: 25/40 • 12v DC draw: 295 mA • Includes: 12v leads, 110v adaptor and wiring harness • Impedance type: low • Input: Both (AC/DC) 110v plug-in or 12v battery Speedrite 3000, 4.80 lb................#119004 $236.00 Patriot P30 • Peak output: 3.00 joules • Pulses per minute: 40 • 12v DC draw: 210 mA • Includes: 12v leads & 110v adaptor • Impedance type: low • Input: Both (AC/DC) 110v plug-in or 12v battery Wiring harness not included (sold below). Patriot P30, 4.80 lb........................#115030 $187.00 Wiring Harness, 0.20 lb................ #130800 $9.00 HotShock ® 600 • Peak output: 5.0 released joules • Pulses per minute: 50 • 110v AC draw: 8 watts/hr • Impedance type: low • Input: (AC) 110v plug-in Low-impedance unit recommended for sites where the grass remains green. Has performed reliably for years all across the US. Advised for medium to long fences for cattle and sheep; up to 3 miles of 5 to 7 strand fence, up to 20 rolls of sheep netting and up to 17 rolls of PoultryNet (distances dependent upon weed contact). Can be mounted either inside or outside of a building. The energizer must be mounted vertically. It’s wise to protect the energizer from direct rainfall.

Reasons to buy a plug-in energizer:
1. They provide the most pulse energy per $$ invested in
an energizer.
2. Less likely to cause hassle than the alternatives.
3. Usually offer higher pulse frequency than other designs.
What size should you get?
As large as you can afford—
if the fence is not exposed to the
public.
More output in joules equals less hassle from weeds
and wayward livestock.
Wide or low impedance?
If the energized wires are going to be exposed to a
lot of
green vegetation, then low-impedance units with high joule
outputs at low ohm levels (200
Ω
) are the right choice.
Wide-impedance units should be considered
if the grass
regularly turns brown for 3-plus weeks during the grazing
season
due to dry soils.

IntelliShock 31 vs Patriot P30 vs
Speedrite 3000 vs HotShock 600
• Similarities:
Peak pulse outputs (3.0 – 5.0 joules).
• Differences:
a
IntelliShock 31
adjusts battery draw down by as much
as 90%
if
the fence conductors aren’t touching green
weeds. Examples are
1–2 strand horse, cattle, some
anti-deer fences; and most fences during the winter or
when grass is dormant.
The need to recharge a battery
is therefore much less in these situations.
The Patriot and the Speedrite, however, maintain
a constant (and therefore often higher) battery draw
whatever the fence situation.
a
HotShock 600 is a 110v AC plug-in unit only. The others
can
also
be powered by 12v DC batteries.
a
Peak pulse output of HotShock 600 is 67% larger
than the other units. So it can cope with more green
vegetation contacting the fence.
a
Pulse frequency of the “600” is 25% higher. Thus better
for wildlife fences and untrained livestock.

• Recommended uses:
a
For long temporary and semi-permanent sheep, goat,
poultry and wildlife deterrent fences.
a
Long permanent cattle and horse fences.
a
Medium-length permanent sheep and goat fences.
