Installing the battery
1 Place the energizer on a flat surface. Open the battery
compartment by pressing the latches firmly (see diagram
below).
2 Insert the battery.
3 Connect the positive (red) lead to the positive (+) terminal on
the battery.
4 Connect the negative (black) lead to the negative (–) terminal
on the battery.
5 Close the battery compartment.
Caution! When connecting the battery be careful not to short-
circuit the supply terminals.
Positioning the energizer
Install the energizer adjacent to the electric fence, preferably in the middle of the electric
fence where it will receive the most daily sun
through-out the season and where a good earth
can be obtained 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 and true south in the
northern hemisphere.
Mounting the energizer
The energizer can be mounted directly onto a
steel Y-post or T-post using the post-mounting
slot. To mount onto a wooden post use the hardware provided. Thread washers onto the
nails or screws. Space the nails 75 mm (3‛) apart (or one nail length). Hammer in the nails
allowing them to protrude by 10 mm (3/8‛). Slide the energizer onto the nails with the
washers inside the post-mounting slot.
