JVA AgriRange Energizers

  The Mb series of energizers has the 

electronics enclosed inside a durable UV stable case 

to protect against ants, moisture and dust and so maximize reliability.

 The 

overload indication 

warns if the fence is heavily loaded by flashing a warning LED and 

alerting with a short audible beep.

  The Mb series utilizes the latest 

digital microcontroller 

technology to extend battery life, 

provide useful feedback on the energizer status, and increase reliability and performance.

 The 

audible alarm 

will sound in the event of a serious error for 30 seconds and then shut 

down for 7 minutes before sounding again.

 The 

Auto Recover 

feature will attempt to recover the energizer from severe errors which 

cause the energizer to stop working. This automatic recovery process will occur at 7-minute 

intervals.

  Power on demand automatically increases the power to heavy fence loads.

  To use the Mb range with a solar panel, an external 12 volt sealed lead-acid battery, solar 

panel and solar regulator are required.
