Warning!

 

-

 

USA and Canada - To reduce the risk of 

electric shock, the energizer’s power 
adaptor may have a polarized plug (one 
blade is wider than the other). This plug 
will fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the 
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse 
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a 
qualified electrician to install the proper 
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. 

-

 

Switch the energizer off before installation 

or performing any work on the fence. 

-

 

Read all the safety considerations 

carefully. See 

Safety considerations

 on 

page 11. 

-

 

Check your installation to ensure that it 

complies with all local safety regulations. 

-

 

Europe - When the temperature is below 

5 °C, the energizer must be located in a 
shelter and any cables attached, in 
particular, must not be handled. 

-

 

Do not connect simultaneously to a fence 

and to any other device such as a cattle 
trainer or a poultry trainer. Otherwise, 
lightning striking your fence will be 
conducted to all other devices. 

-

 

Use only the mains/line power adaptor or 

battery leads supplied with this energizer 
or a genuine replacement part. 

-

 

The power input socket on the back of the 

energizer is for 12 V DC only.
