position may need to be changes between summer and winter.
On firm ground away from flooding and out of reach of animals and children (inside a protective
fence, if required). The solar panel should face true north in the southern hemisphere.
Mounting the energizer
The energizer can be mounted directly onto a steel Y-post via the post-mounting receptacle. To
mount onto a wooden post, use the hardware provided. Screw two screws 205mm apart leaving
approximately 10mm exposed. Slip the bottom screw into the slot on the base of the Battery
compartment and line the top screw to the teardrop in the handle.
Connecting to an electric fence
1 Drive a 1 m (3’3‛) earth rod fully into firm ground.
2 Connect the black lead from the Fence earth terminal on the energiser to the earthing rod.
3 Connect the red lead from the Fence output terminal on the energiser to the fence. Make sure
there is a good contact.
Caution! Make sure the connecting leads drop downwards from the energizer to prevent water
from collecting at the terminals.
Operation
Switching on and off
1 To switch ON, The pulse indicator light flashes once for each output pulse.
2 To switch OFF, the pulse indicator light stops.
3 Switch to Nigh mode. Reduces the pulse rate at night and automatically returns to the normal
rate during daylight hours.
Warning Never charge the battery when connected to the fence
Battery protection mode
An intelligent battery management feature puts the energiser into Battery protection mode when
battery charge falls below a ‘safe operating level’. When in Battery protection mode, the energiser
is still on, but it will deliver a reduced pulse to the electric fence.
The energiser will resume delivering normal pulses when the solar panel has charged the battery
so that it is above the ‘safe operating level.
Alternatively, the battery can be disconnected, recharged with a battery charger, then returned to
the battery compartment and reconnected.
Night mode
Switching the energiser to night mode slows the pulse rate and conserves power, if your stock is
less active during evening hours night mode can be used. Night mode is not recommended if you
stock is under stress for feed, water or the urge to mate. It’s also not recommended when trying to
fence for feral animals
