6. Move back in the direction of the previous reading until the fault is located.
Notes: Higher than normal current readings indicate short circuit faults. This could be caused
by vegetation touching the fence line, a broken insulator etc. Lower than normal current
readings with the same voltage usually indicates a poor connection or a broken wire.
Turning the fence off or on using the remote control function
To turn on the fence:
1. Press
to turn on the handset.
2. Insert the fence wire into the Remote control slot, ensuring that the fence wire touches the
Remote control contact.
3. Press
to turn on the fence. The handset will beep with each pulse of the energizer.
Tip: If the remote control function doesn’t work, the fence wire has probably rusted or oxidised.
Try rubbing the Remote control contact against the fence wire to break through the layer of
rust or oxidation.
To turn off the fence:
1. Press
to turn on the handset.
2. Insert the fence wire into the Remote control slot, ensuring that the fence wire touches the
Remote control contact.
3. Press
to turn off the fence. The energizer is now in Standby mode.
Warning!
- Do not touch the fence until the beeping has stopped.
- The energizer is designed to automatically reactivate following an interruption to the input
power supply. This will occur even if it was deactivated by remote control before the power
failed. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that if you are working on a section of fence
for an extended period, you should either safely isolate the section with a cut-out switch, or
unplug the energizer from the power outlet.
Changing the settings
Sound setting
The handset beeps each time the energizer pulses whenever the fence wire is in the Fault finder
slot or the Remote slot. This indicates that the energizer is on and the fence is live. The pitch of
the sound rises with the magnitude of the current pulse. This is particularly useful when measur-
ing currents in different branches at a junction point, and when the display cannot be seen. If
the power supply to the fence has been switched off, the handset will not beep.
The sound can be disabled, if required (see the following instructions).
To disable or enable the sound:
