Connecting to an electric fence
1 Push a 1 m (3’3‛) earth rod fully into firm ground.
2 Connect the black lead from the Fence earth terminal on the energizer to the earthing
system.
3 Connect the red lead from the Fence output terminal on the energizer to the fence. Make
sure there is a good contact.
Caution! Make sure the connecting leads drop downwards from the energizer to prevent
water from collecting at the terminals.
Operation
Switching on and off
1 To switch on the pulse indicator light flashes once for each output pulse.
2 To switch off the pulse indicator light stop
Battery protection model
An intelligent battery management feature puts the energizer into Battery protection mode
when battery charge falls below a ‘safe operating level’. When in Battery protection mode,
the energizer is still on, but it will not deliver a pulse to the electric fence.
The energizer will resume delivering pulses when the solar panel has charged the battery so
that it is above the ‘safe operating level’.
Alternatively, the battery can be disconnected, recharged with a battery charger, then
returned to the battery compartment and reconnected.
Battery information
Battery charging
The solar panel can fully charge a flat battery in two weeks, provided the energizer is
switched off and there is adequate sunlight. The battery can also be charged using a 12V
battery charger suitable for charging rechargeable, lead-acid batteries. This should have an
output voltage of 14.4V and output current not exceeding 1A.
