Mounting Location
The Energiser is solar powered so must have an
uninterrupted view of the sky from east to
west
. The Energiser should face towards the equator; in Australia that means
northward
. In
the northern hemisphere the equator is southward. The solar panel will charge quickly in
full sunlight. In cloudy conditions the solar panel collects power from the full view of the
cloudy sky. The intensity is lower, and the charge time is longer. If the battery power
indicates low, you should check to validate your solar setup. Low battery is not typical.
NOTE:
The Solar Panel only charges while the Energiser is switched ON
and connected to the boundary.
Mounting Options
The Energiser has several mounting options
–
see points #3, #4 & #6 illustrated on page 9.
Plastic Mounting Post
To use the plastic Mounting Post, assemble its three parts. Remove the protective rubber
bung (see point #6) and push the post firmly into the base of the Energiser. Push the
pointed end of the post into soil or screw it to an existing fence using two 25mm Saddle
Clamp (clamps not included).
