Care and Maintenance
While the electric fence security system has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible,
observing the recommendations below will help to ensure a long and trouble-free life from your
system:
•
Have the internal battery in the Energizer Monitor Unit checked at least every two years by
your service agent, to preserve the back-up time of the unit.
•
Do not allow the Energizer Monitor Unit to go without mains power for long periods of time.
This will damage the internal back-up battery.
•
If you plan to disconnect mains power for more than a couple of days, disarm the Energizer
Monitor Unit and leave on standby, or have the battery disconnected by your service agent.
•
Do not leave the battery disconnected for over a month without charging.
•
If you know that mains power has been inadvertently removed for several days (especially if
the Energizer Monitor Unit was armed), have the battery checked by your service agent.
•
If any physical damage occurs to the electric fence security system (especially the outside
cables), have it checked and repaired promptly by your service agent, to ensure system
integrity.
•
The Power Pack supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, the whole Power
Pack should be replaced.
•
Ensure that the Power Pack is located indoors and protected against damage from physical
abuse, liquids, or corrosive chemicals. Have any suspected damage checked promptly by your
service agent for continued safety.
•
Do not disassemble the electric fence security system. There are no user serviceable parts
inside any of the Energizer Monitor Unit system components.
•
Ensure that the Energizer Monitor Unit and its accessories are always operated in a cool, dry,
well ventilated area.
•
Keep the Energizer Monitor Unit out of reach of children.
•
Should the outside of any system component require cleaning, disarm the system first for
safety. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution. Do
not use harsh chemicals or cleaning solvents.
•
If the electric fence security system is to be decommissioned, return the Energizer Monitor
Unit to your installer for safe disposal.
Warning:
Never open the Energizer Monitor Unit yourself, even for cleaning. Energizer
Monitor Units are sealed against dust and do not need cleaning inside.
