When you switch on the fault finder, the last current reading
measured will be briefly displayed at the top right of the
screen before changing to the fence voltage.
Finding faults
1 Start close to where the energizer lead-out wires
connect to the fence. Press
to switch on the fault
finder.
2 Insert the fence wire into the Fence wire voltage slot,
ensuring that the fence wire touches the Voltage probe.
Note the reading (in amperes).
3 Work down the fence line taking readings at regular
intervals and at all junction points. The previous reading
is displayed briefly at the top right of the screen for
comparison.
4 At a junction, follow the branch that indicates an
abnormally high reading. A sudden reduction in current
between one point and the next will indicate the
presence of a fault between these two points.
5 Move back in the direction of the previous reading until
the fault is located.
Notes:
- Higher than normal current readings indicate short circuit
faults. Lower than normal current readings with the
same voltage readings will most probably indicate arcing
faults, a poor connection or broken wire.
- On an earth-wire-return fence, readings taken on the
earth wire may not indicate the correct current direction.
Live fence alert tone
When the fence wire is in the Fence wire voltage slot or the
Fence wire remote slot, the Remote Control Handset beeps
each time the energizer pulses to indicate that the fence is
live. The pitch of the alert tone rises with the magnitude of
the current pulse. This is particularly useful when measuring
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 Remote Control Handset will not
beep.
Enabling and disabling live fence alert tone
1 Press and hold , then press to enter the Set-up
mode.
2 Press once to scroll to the flashing note ( ). now
acts as a toggle to switch the alert tone on or off.
3 Do one of the following:
- To enable the live fence alert tone, press
until ON
appears on the screen.
- To disable the live fence alert tone, press
until OFF
appears on the screen.
4 Press to move to the next setting.
5 Press to switch off the Remote Control Handset.
Backlight
The remote control has a backlight for better screen visibility
when there is not enough daylight. If required, this feature
can be turned off to conserve battery life.
Enabling and disabling the backlight
1 Press and hold , then press to enter the Set-up
mode.
2 The backlight option will now be flashing (bL). now
acts as a toggle to switch the backlight on or off.
3 Do one of the following:
- To enable the backlight, press
until ON appears on
the screen.
- To disable the backlight, press
until OFF appears on
the screen.
4 Press to move to the next setting.
5 Press to switch off the Remote Control Handset.
Battery
The remote control battery must be replaced when you see
the
symbol on the screen.
To replace the battery:
1
Unscrew the case back.
2 Unclip the old battery, and replace with a new PP3, 9 V,
alkaline battery.
3 Screw the case back into place, taking care not to trap
the battery leads under the screws or in the case
assembly.
Caring for the Remote Control Handset
•
Do not leave the Remote Control Handset in direct
sunlight, for instance on a vehicle dashboard.
•
Use only a damp cloth to clean the remote control.
•
If the Remote Control Handset gets wet, wipe it dry and
place it face down to allow any water to run out of the
speaker grill. The Remote Control Handset is water-
resistant and should require no further attention.
Communication between the
energizer and the Remote Control
Handset
Understanding address settings
The energizer communicates with the Remote Control
Handset using a channel. The channel has a unique address
setting.
A Remote System (RS) energizer has its address preset to one
of 16 possible addresses and comes with a Remote Control
Handset configured to match it.
A Remote Ready (R) energizer has its address preset to 0
(zero). This means that it will not recognise or act on
commands from a remote control.
You may want to change the address setting of your
energizer:
•
If you buy a Remote Control Handset separately and
you want to configure your Remote Ready energizer to
accept commands from it.
•
If you are using more than one remote-controlled
energizer on your property and you want each remote
control to operate one energizer only.
