Hotline Condor HM500 Mains Electric Fence Energiser

The Hotline Condor HM500 Electric Fence Energiser is a powerful mains-powered energiser designed for larger and more demanding electric fencing systems. With 5.0 joules stored energy and 3.9 joules maximum output, the Condor provides reliable performance for agricultural, livestock, poultry and gamekeeping applications.

Designed primarily for 230V mains operation, the Condor also features a 12V battery backup input, providing additional security if the mains power supply is interrupted.

With a manufacturer-stated maximum fence distance of up to 40km, high and low power outputs and an LED fence performance monitor, the Hotline Condor is an excellent choice for permanent electric fencing installations where dependable performance is essential.

Powerful Mains Electric Fence Energiser

The Condor is designed for customers who need considerably more power than a small portable battery energiser can provide.

Its 3.9J maximum output makes it suitable for substantial electric fencing installations, including systems where longer fence lines, multiple conductors or electric netting require a more powerful energiser.

The unit is wall mounted, making it ideal for installation in a suitable building or protected location with access to a mains electricity supply.

High & Low Power Outputs

The Hotline Condor features separate high and lower power output terminals, providing additional flexibility when configuring an electric fence system.

At full output, the Condor delivers up to 3.9 joules with a manufacturer-stated maximum fence distance of 40km.

The lower-power output provides 0.7 joules with a stated maximum distance of 8km, making it useful where reduced output is appropriate.

LED Fence Performance Monitor

A built-in LED fence performance monitor provides an easy visual indication of fence performance, helping you identify when the system may require attention.

The Condor also includes a battery backup monitor for use when a 12V backup battery is connected.

These monitoring features are particularly useful on larger electric fencing installations where maintaining reliable fence performance is important.

230V Mains with 12V Battery Backup

The Hotline Condor is primarily a 230V mains electric fence energiser, providing dependable continuous power without the routine battery charging required by portable systems.

For additional security, an external 12V battery can be connected as a backup power source.

This can help maintain operation during interruptions to the mains electricity supply, making the Condor particularly attractive for permanent agricultural and livestock fencing installations.

Suitable for Electric Fence Netting

The Condor has sufficient output for more demanding electric netting applications.

Hotline rates the unit at full power for up to:

• 25 x 50m sheep nets
• 15 x 50m poultry nets

On the lower-power output, the manufacturer rates it for up to:

• 5 x 50m sheep nets
• 2 x 50m poultry nets

Actual performance will depend on installation conditions, vegetation, earthing and the condition of the fencing system.

• Agricultural electric fencing
• Livestock fencing
• Sheep fencing
• Poultry electric fencing

Choosing the Correct Electric Fence Energiser

Maximum fence distance is a useful comparison figure, but actual electric fence performance depends on several factors, including:

• Total fence length
• Number of electrified conductors
• Type and quantity of electric netting
• Vegetation touching the fence
• Quality of fence wire or conductor
• Quality of the earthing system
• Ground conditions
• Condition of insulators and connections

Hotline specifies a minimum of two 1m earth stakes for the Condor. Correct earthing is essential to achieve reliable fence performance.
