Abstract

In a method of applying an electrical stimulus to an animal, at least one electrode is in contact with the animal and is fixedly and electrically coupled with a voltage detector circuit. A stimulus signal is carried by the at least one electrode. Using the voltage detector circuit, it is determined whether the stimulus signal exceeds a predetermined voltage level. An indicator signal, indicative of the determining step, is transmitted from the voltage detector circuit.
