flash( three seconds).
Pulse indicator light
The pulse indicator light indicates the output pulse speed. The pulse speed
varies according to the battery charge level:
Battery charge level
Typical pulse speed
Normal
A pulse every 1.5 seconds
Low
A pulse every 3 seconds
Standby mode
An intelligent battery management feature puts the unit into Standby mode when
battery charge falls below a ‘safe operating level’. When in Standby mode, the
unit is still on, but it will not deliver a pulse to the electric fence.
The unit will resume delivering pulses when the solar panel has charged the
battery so that it is above ‘safe operating level’.
When operation resumes, the battery charge level will still be low, so the unit will
deliver one pulse every 3 seconds. Once the battery reaches normal charge level,
the pulse will revert to one pulse every 1.5 seconds.
