As the sun was just about to set, I had completed my final inspection and was ready to plug everything in and close the switch. Once everything was plugged in and I heard the pulsating click, I took my digital voltmeter to the furthest point from the charger and tested each line. All of the positive (hot) lines came up with a read of 9,200 volts, which is right where it should be. (My goal was 9,000v, so a little over initially is good by me.)
This should keep the squirrel and most other varmints out of the patch. Sadly, I am protecting mainly pumpkin plants/leaves, but I want to train the problem squirrel so the word can be passed on to stay away and hopefully prevent this problem in years to come. Of all the ways to ruin a season, this is a new one for me, but I can say that my time fishing has certainly increased.
