Quantity limitations and recommendations

Nofence provide virtual fencing of the herd but collars worn by the individual animals.

For Nofence to be successful we have set a lower limit to a minimum of five collars. All animals in a herd using Nofence must wear a collar.

For this time our current collars and app would give you a best experience with smaller herds (less than 100 heads).

For use on larger herds you might want to learn about the current limitations from one of our customer advisors.

(PS. We will develope for larger herds in the close future, and in the meantime you might start with a smaller herd)

Longer chains for larger animals

The collar is delivered with a standard length chain which fits animals up to 46cm around the neck. If you have animals with wider necks eg. bucks og larger breeds, you need to purchase additional longer chains.

For sheep and goats, we recommend that you can fit two fingers (4 cm) vertically between the collar and the animal’s neck.

The picture to the left shows a well-fitted long chain on a Boer goat (larger breed).

If you are uncertain if the standard chain would be big enough, you might as well purchase longer chains.

Use of Shelter Beacon

Shelter beacon – a Bluetooth unit used to switch off the fence function in Nofence collars within a 10-meter radius.

Inside buildings, roofs and walls might obstruct the GPS signal. This may cause false positions, and the animals might get warning sounds or electric pulses in the worst-case scenario. The shelter beacon prevents this from happening.

When a collar is within a 10-meter radius of a shelter beacon, the fence function is switched off. When the collar no longer is within a 10-metre radius the fence function is switched on again.

Need for chargers

Recommendations are for when you receive the collars for the first time and want to get started as soon as possible.

Before you equip your herd with collars for training, we recommend charging the batteries.

When you receive the collars, the batteries will be approximately 30% charged (because of shipping restrictions).

To fully charge a battery you need approximately 8-10 hours.

Need for extra batteries

The number of extra batteries needed varies between customers, hence recommendation is for the average customer needs.

Those experiencing longest battery life have relatively large pastures, little vegetation inside the pasture and quite a lot of sunlight that hits the solar panels.

It is relatively easy to change the battery whilst this is hanging on the animal if this is needed and the animals is co-operative enough.

Longer chains for larger animals

The collar is delivered with a standard length chain which fits animals up to 125cm around the neck. If you have animals with wider necks eg, bulls, you need to purchase additional longer chains.

For Cattle, we recommend that you can fit a fist vertically between the collar and the animal’s neck.

The picture to the left shows a well-fitted standard chain that would fit most cattle.

If you are uncertain if the standard chain would be big enough, you might as well purchase longer chains.

Before you equip your herd with collars for training, we recommend charging the batteries.

When you receive the collars, the batteries will be approximately 30% charged (because of shipping restrictions).

To fully charge a battery you need approximately 14 hours.

Need for extra batteries

As many have experienced quite long battery life for cattle collars once fully charged, the extra batteries is more a nice-to-have than a need-to-have recommendation.

Those experiencing longest battery life have relatively large pastures, little vegetation inside the pasture and quite a lot of sunlight that hits the solar panels.

As replacing batteries might be challenging whilst hanging on the animals, it might be a good idea to plan such replacements when they are in a secured position and charge the batteries in the charger.
