Connecting connectors
Models fencee
energy DUO RF EDX
have two waterproof input connectors; upper one
for adapter connection and lower one for battery connection. Connectors may be wrongly
connected thus always make sure that the correct connections taken place. This design has
preference for connecting to the mains voltage with the option of connecting to the battery,
as a backup power supply in the event of power failure. Running the energizer for a long time
just from the battery is not desirable due to the higher energy consumption and low capacity
of conventional batteries.
Connecting outputs
Connect the
black earthing output
to the earthing rod using earthing cable.
Connect the
red output
to the fence system using the connecting cable.
Yellow output
is intended for connecting fence system where we always require reduced
energy in order that animals receive weaker, approximately half strength impulse; this
relates to fence system for younger and smaller animals (foals, calves). It is also connected
separately to the larger fence system lower wire, where vegetation is expected to be dense
with technical measures to prevent losses, namely voltage leakage to the ground as it is
usual in standard connections thus the energizer power output is not reduced. The other
wires connected to the red output are powered separately at full voltage.
Green output
is intended for measuring the quality of earthing to find out whether the
existing earthing is satisfactory or requires upgrading due to the location, e.g. adding
another earthing rod, irrigate it or repair connections. It is always required to install
measuring electrode located 10 m from the energizer earthing point. Use non-corroding
well conducting rod at least 20 cm long for the measuring electrode. Connect high voltage
cable to the green energizer connection.
If one of the connectors is not used then the connector cover
must be screwed in to keep the connector watertight.
If the the adapter and battery are connected to wrong co-
nnectors, charging and the low battery indication will not work
and the battery will not be discharging.
