How to install the HorseGuard Bi-Polar fencing
|
A mile of tape... ... is easy to pull.
|
To improve the efficiency of the Bi-Polar tape,
we have designed
The Block Tensioner.
#9bl
It's a tensioner on the Control Tower that
locks in the electric connections.
It's a corner insulator, a several way-tensioner,
and to close the door.

I - Measure and draw a mark
| Measure and draw a mark for the
placement of the middle tape, report
the same mark on all posts...
|
... to install block
tensioners and
insulators at
the same level.
|
On line posts, secure all
insulators with 2 wood
screws. Do not insert the
thumbscrew yet the tape
will be set at the very end
of the installation.
|
II - On the Control Tower post
|
On the Control Tower post, position the HorseGuard Block Tensioner on the mark and
drill in just one lag bolt to hold it in place.

III - Setting up the connections
Cut the necessary length for each brown cable and green cable.
Strip each cable's ends with the Crimper tool.
|
Make sure to position the lugs/terminals using color
codes : Green-up & Brown-down.
Push down the terminals of the cables into the tiny cones
of the tensioner so it lock in position with it, using one of
the holes of the crimper tool and a hammer.
|
| Close the top part onto the base but do not tighten the lag
bolts completely, leave a gap 1/4 inch (6mm) of space, to
slide in the bi-polar tape, that will create the contact points
with the charger.
|
|
|
Make sure the tape is
perfectly straight in the
tensioner so that the
wires and the lugs are
perfectly in contact. Set the
beginning of the tape into
tensioner and squeeze it in
definitively by tightening
the long lag bolts with
the provided pipe key or a
cordless drill.
|
IV - Unroll
| With the help of a broomstick unroll your tape along the
fence line posts until you reach the first corner.
|
|
V - Install the Block Tensioner
| On the corner post, install the tensioner, set only the 2
bottom lag bolts leaving opened the top of the tensioner so
the tape can be inserted into. Then set the two top lag bolts
without tightening them because you need to pull the tape
as hard as you can to create the tension.
|
|
Once you have built suffi
cient tension hold the
tape and make a "dead
loop" around the post to
keep the tension.
Tighten the long lag
bolts with the pipe key
or the drill into the post
until the tape is definitely locked in. Make
sure not to fold the
edges of the tape. The
Tape has to be perfectly
straight.
|
|
Proceed the same way at each corner post up to the last gate post.

Bi-Polar Gate Handle Kit #BP12A
| BP12A | Gate handle for tensioner 9bl | | $ 20.00 | | |
|
VI - Set the insulated Bi-Polar Gate Handle Kit at the end.
VII - Go back at the beginning of the fence line
Go back at the beginning of the fence line and at each post put the tape into each line insulator
and secure the cap with the 2 violin screws (every 25 insulators, you have one cello
screw extra) leave it secured to the insulator, you might need it one day if you drop a cello
screw in the grass...
Repeat the same procedure
for the second strand, or
every time you want to add
another strand.
If you have "crushed" the
tape with your hands when
pulling it, just rub it back
and forth on the post and it
will look flat, like new!
