1. Should the battery cover clips or the cover hinge fail over time,
provision has been made for 5 screws (#6 x 1/2") to be driven
in to hold down the cover.
The screw holes have a thin layer that can be punctured by the screws.
See the positions marked by the arrows in Figure 20.
2. Should the solar panel be damaged in any way, it can be easily replaced.
Simply disconnect the connector, unscrew the 6 screws holding the
enclosure to the aluminium frame and swap for a new panel.
Please enquire with your dealer should you require a new panel.
The Solar Fence also has the ability to have a 12V
external battery connected. With the internal battery
removed, a punch-out in the bottom can be removed
allowing for a PG7 cable gland to be installed.
This allows for an external battery (12V rechargeable
lead-acid only) to power the unit for an extended battery
life and be charged by the solar panel.
Please enquire with your dealer for this accessory.

If you intend to not use the Solar Fence, for example: storing during winter, it is important to fully charge the battery
before doing so. This is so the battery will not get damaged by being in-active at a low voltage for a long period.
Storing a lead-acid battery when it is <90% charged for a period of a few months can lead to damage and the inability
to be re-charged again.
Recommended re-charging methods:
1). Disconnect the solar panel and plug in the supplied 15V adaptor for 8 hours.
Press & hold the ON/OFF button to see if the LED bar shows 5 green LEDs. If not, try charging for 4 more hours.
2). Leave the Solar Fence in Standby mode (no output pulse) in the sun for full day.
Press and hold the ON/OFF button to see if the LED bar shows 5 green LEDs. If not, leave it in the sun again.
