INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
MAINS AND BATTERY MODELS
The energiser may be mounted from two screws at 55 cm centres, or simply lay or stand on a shelf.
Connection to fence and earth are by the Chunky terminal knobs on the front of the energiser.
We recommend the use of Daken Underground Cable for all connections from your energiser to fence or earth.
Bare the end of the cable exposing 30 to 40mm of the galvanised wire core. With the Energiser not connected
to any power unscrew the Chunky Terminal knob, pass the bared end of your cable through the hole in the post
and tighten the terminal knob to hold the wire in place.
SOLAR POWERED ENERGISERS
Solar powered electric fence energisers consist of an energiser, battery (not supplied) and a solar panel for
recharging the battery. If you have purchased a solar "kit" it will come complete with regulator (B10 Solar Kit
does not come with a regulator) all you need to do is add a battery. Areas that experience low sunlight hours,
high seasonal cloud or fog are advised to increase the size of solar panel used. Your rural store or Daken can
advise you.
EARTHING
In order for the animal to receive a shock, there must be a good current flow from the output terminal of the
energiser to the animal, and back to the earth terminal at the energiser completing the circuit. Therefore good
earthing is essential for a good system.
For detailed information on earthing see the Daken Electric Fencing Manual.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Always ensure adequate ventilation is given to the enclosure if it houses
a battery. Lead Acid batteries may emit explosive gases while charging!
Battery Installation
Attach the battery leads to the battery.
The red positive lead to (+) and the black negative lead to (–) on the battery. The battery should be installed, up
off the ground to prevent premature discharge. Use timber blocks or similar to raise the height of the battery,
but not concrete! To get the most life out of your battery cover it to protect it from the weather, a cut away
clean plastic drum will suffice.
When selecting a location for your energiser and battery take into consideration inquisitive stock, rising water
and the possibility of theft.

INSTALLERS/USERS SHOULD NOTE:
WARNING:
Avoid contacting electric fence wires especially with the head, neck or torso. Do not climb over,
through or under a multi-wire electric fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
The electric fence requires an earth, see the Electric Fence Manual for details.
Mains Powered Energisers must be kept undercover and protected from weather.
For more information on fence systems see the Daken Electric fencing manual.
