The Stafix X18i unigizer is now available
in Africa. This new addition to the X
range of energisers which are able to run off either a 12V rechargeable battery
or mains power source replaces the discontinued B18 energiser as the most
powerful battery energiser available. It
has an output energy of 18 Joules which is slightly more than the 15 Joules of
the Stafix X15i and Gallagher MBX 2500. As
with the other energisers in this range, the X18i features a backlit LCD voltage
display, which, shows the output voltage, battery voltage and earth voltage. Probably its greatest advantage over the B18
however is its lower power consumption.
Using a little more than half the power of the B18, together with the
microprocessor which adjusts the output energy depending on the battery
condition, this energy efficient unit is ideal for solar installations. The X18i also has a number of settings and
pulse speeds which can be selected to further increase its energy
efficiency. Pricing of the X18i is
considerably less than that of its predecessors which will no doubt make this
the energiser of choice for most agricultural and wildlife applications in
Africa.

AKAGERA NATIONAL PARK RWANDA
Work has finally started on the fencing of the Akagera National Park boundary. This project was awarded to TNH Fencing together with our partners EME from Kigali . It has taken a long time to get the project underway as a large number of stakeholders are involved in the park and they together with private landowners along the boundary had to be satisfied with the planned fence and its placement before work could commence.
The boundary is to be fenced using a prefabricated hinge-joint field fence and will be electrified using offset brackets (outriggers). Additional electrical wires will be added to the top of the fence to discourage climbing. The electric fence will be powered by Stafix B18 cyclic wave energisers made by Tru-test of New Zealand . These 18 Joule output energisers are the largest battery powered units available and are ideal for controlling the movement of wildlife across the reserve boundaries. Each energiser will be equipped with monocrystalline solar panels delivering 250 Watts. With fencing teams now on the ground and construction underway, the 110km electrified game fence should finally be completed by mid 2012.
