Definition

MPC Jumper Lead

These are recommended for ensuring good connections between reels and temporary fencing wires. For permanent installations, joint clamps are recommended. Clips are approximately 3” long.

OD

This is an abbreviation for “Outside Diameter”

OEM

This is an abbreviation for “Original Equipment Manufacture”.

Offset

This is something that sets the wire, rope, twine, or tape off the post a few inches.

OHM

This is a resistance that produces a potential difference of one volt when a current of one ampere is flowing through it.

Oscillations

This is a unit of resistance. Ohms are used to measure resistance to the flow of an electric current. A low ohm reading represents a heavy fence load, and a high ohms reading represents a light fence load.

Output Joule

This is what goes out on the fence line. Generally, you will lose 20-50% from stored to output joules.

Polycarbonate Gate

This is a gate that is of any of a class of thermoplastics. It is characterized by high-impact strength, light weight, and flexibility.

Polypropylene

This is any of various thermoplastic resins that are polymers of propylene. They are hard and tough, and are used to make molded articles and fibers.

Positive Spring Loaded
Latch Pin

This keeps the bobbin from rotating.

Powder Coated

This is a type of dry coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder.

PSI

This is an abbreviation for Pounds per Square Inch.

Pulsed Charger

The Charge LED will flash very slowly (on 1/8th sec. off 1 3/8th sec). This occurs if the terminal voltage of the battery is lower than that which the Pulse charger considers safe to charge. In this mode the Pulse charger applies a very gentle charge to the battery to see if it can bring the terminal voltage up to a safe level. This mode will continue indefinitely until either the battery is removed or the terminal voltage rises sufficiently, at which point normal charge will automatically be engaged.

Reverse Hammer Action

This action breaks posts free.

Rotational Grazing

This is another term for managed and strip grazing. It is a system for livestock grazing, using internal temporary enclosures (within a boundary fence) to control the specific areas where the animals graze. This allows the vegetation in the previous enclosures to grow back.
