INSTALLATION NOTES:
1. Keep the wires to the fence
separate
from the keypad/gate/siren/strobe/
mains/remote wiring.
2. Do
not try and modify the unit.
Any unauthorised modifications will null and
void the warranty and possibly make the unit illegal.
3. If the
remote On/Off
facility is used, the wire between the remote switch and
the energiser can be up to a 100m. The switch contact must be closed for the
energiser to be on. For security reasons it is better to use an intelligent FOB on
the keypad bus.
4. A
remote receiver
can obtain
12VDC
from the keypad bus. Current
consumption must not exceed 0.1 Amps. This
is not sufficient to supply
power
for an armed response transmitter.
5. The
siren
and
strobe light
together must not draw more than 1.75Amps.
6. To connect a
radio alarm transmitter
or
alarm panel
to the energiser use an
isolation relay between the strobe light output and the panel. Never use the
energiser battery to power a radio alarm transmitter or alarm panel.
7. The wire between the
magnetic gate switch
and the energiser can be up to a
100m but must not run in parallel with the fence wires. The gate switch must be
open circuit if the gate is open.
8. The
remote keypad cable
must not exceed a 100m in total. Avoid running this
cable in parallel with any fence (high voltage) wires.
9. You can connect a total of four keypads or FOB units to one energiser. Each must
have a unique address setting.
10. Use
high voltage insulation wire
between the fence and energiser, including
the earth wire. Never run these wires in the same conduit or through the same
hole as the low voltage wiring.
11. Always use ferrules or line clamps to connect two
high voltage wires
together.
Avoid using different types of material for connections like copper on steel.
12. The
fence
must be
earthed
properly with at least one earth electrode as close
as possible to the energiser. The distance between the fence earth electrode and
other earth systems shall be not less than 10 m.
13. When
replacing
the
lid
of the energiser hook the top in first while holding it an
angle and then push it closed at the bottom. Fasten the lid down with the two
cap screws.
14. Always
test
the
fence
alarm for a short and open-circuit after installation at the
furthest point on the fence.
15. Do not use the energiser with
Non-rechargeable
batteries and any lead-acid
batteries must be placed in a well-ventilated area during charging.
16. The unit contains a sealed lead-acid battery that will vent to the atmosphere
under certain conditions. For this reason it is imperative that the energiser be
installed in a well ventilated area.
17. Refer to the applicable laws concerning the installation of electric fences.
