Positioning the energizer
Install the energizer:
Adjacent to the electric fence
Preferably in the middle of the electric fence and where it will receive the most daily sun
throughout the season
Where a good earth can be obtained
On firm ground away from flooding and out of reach of animals and children (inside a
protective fence, if required). The solar panel should face true north in the southern
hemisphere and true south in the northern hemisphere.
Mounting the energizer

the nails, allowing them to protrude by 10 mm (3/8‛). Slide the energizer onto the nails with
the washers inside the post-mounting slot.
Connecting to an electric fence
1 Push a 2m plated 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.
