Note:

 If five Indicator light segments are illuminated, the output voltage may be more than 5 kV (5000 V). 

If you see only red lights at each pulse and no green lights, your fence line is very heavily loaded, and you 
will need to look for faults on the fence line. See 

Frequently asked questions/Troubleshooting

 on page 13. 

Battery test setting 

When the energizer is connected to a battery and the Selector switch is set to Battery Test ( ) the Indicator 
lights show the charge level of the battery for a period of 30 seconds. 

Indicator lights 

Battery-only installation 

 

Excellent battery charge level (90-100%): 

 

No action required. 

 

Very good battery charge level (70-90%): 

 

No action required. 

 

Average battery charge level (40-70%): 

 

Monitor battery charge level. 

 

Recharge the battery to avoid long-term damage to the battery. 

 

Poor battery charge level (20-40%): 

 

Monitor battery charge level. 

 

Recharge the battery to avoid long-term damage to the battery. 

 

Very poor battery charge level (0-20%): 

 

Recharge the battery immediately. 

While the battery charge level is being displayed, the Indicator lights will also flicker briefly with each 
energizer pulse in order to show that the energizer is still functioning. After 30 seconds, the Indicator lights 
revert to displaying the energizer output voltage. When set to Battery Test, the energizer pulses at Slow 
speed and delivers Full Energy at all times.

 

Note:

 The battery test is only relevant when a lead-acid battery is used.
