quality of the all other components of the fence. For grounding, use
a galvanized metal rod with a length of at least 1 m (attention it is not
included in the package), which has to be driven into the ground at
least 1 m deep. An M12 threaded metal rod is ideal for this purpose,
as the ground cable can be easily connected to this.
In the case of long electric fences (over a few kilometers), or if the
soil is mostly dry, create several interconnected grounds, located
a few meters away of each other, to improve the efficiency of the
electric fence.
Under no circumstances connect the ground of the system to an
existing grounding – for example to the ground of the 230 V mains.
You must create a separate grounding in the immediate vicinity of
the system.
The accumulator
Use a 12 V accumulator (lead-acid or gel) to store the energy .
Attention, the accumulator is not included in the package! Do not use
other types of accumulators, such as Ni-MH or Li-ion!
Use an accumulator having a capacity of
at least 45 Ah
. The maximum
capacity is determined by the size that fits in the metal box.
The accumulator should be connected by the clamps and .
• Red clamp = positive (
�
) pole of the accumulator.
• Black clamp = negative (
�
) pole of the accumulator.
Starting the system
Before all, check the position of the on/off switch. It has to be in
OFF
position.
In the first step connect the accumulator by the clamps
and . Caution: do not allow the power cords to touch the high
voltage output
�
of the electric fence energizer under any
circumstances!
In the second step, check the lights on the charge controller to deter-
mine the correct operation of the system (study the chapter named
"The charge controller" below). Both LED lamps and must be
continuously green.
In the last step start the electric fence energizer by moving the
switch to the
ON
position.
The operation of the device can be tracked by sound: you should hear
electric discharge sounds approximately every second.
Stopping the system
To turn off the energizer device, move the switch to the OFF position.
To turn off the system completely, it is not enough to move the switch
to the OFF position, because the solar panel continuously gener-
ates electricity, which leaves in operation all the electronic circuits
inside the box.
To move or store the system, follow the steps below:
• Make sure the switch is in OFF position.
• Cover the solar panel with a light-blocking material (cardboard,
black nylon bag) to stop generating electricity.
• Disconnect the accumulator, then remove it from the metal box to
prevent breaking the electronic circuits and the corrosion caused
by acid leakage from the accumulator.
The charge controller
The charge controller ensures the stabilization of the variable voltage
produced by the solar panel, protects against reverse polarity and
controls the correct charging of the accumulator.
The controller has two important LED indicator and which show
important information regarding the state of the accumulator:
Charging indicator
• Off – No charging.
• Continuous green – Charging.
• Slow flashing green — Maintaining the charged state of the
accumulator.
• Fast flashing green — Maintenance mode of the accumulator (buck
charge, desulfation).
Normally this light has to be continuously green.
