Solar Panel Operation
The PTE700 series monitors now have built in circuitry to charge a 12V lead acid battery
(either sealed or a wet cell) from a solar panel. Only a 12V solar panel should be used, and
its output power must not exceed 2W.

Low Fence Voltage Set Point Calibration – Automatic set point
•
Turn the “
Volts”
trimmer fully anticlockwise
•
Switch on the electric fence and ensure that it is operating in the expected range.
•
Switch on the Electric Fence Monitor by supplying it with twelve volts. If the Electric
Fence Monitor was already switched on, it needs to be reset by switching off
(disconnecting the twelve volts supply) and switching back on.
•
The Electric Fence Monitor has now automatically set the Low Fence Voltage Alarm
Set Point and is now monitoring the Electric Fence. You can test its operation by
deliberately placing a short on your electric fence – the Electric Fence Monitor will
raise an alarm.
•
It is recommended that Automatic set point NOT be used for security purposes
.
If the
fence starts with a medium voltage (due to a fault, for example) the monitor may
perceive that the fence is OK when it is not.
Low Fence Voltage Set Point Calibration – Manual set point
