Electric fencing and your energizer
Congratulations on the purchase of your energizer. This product has
been constructed using the latest technology and construction
techniques. It has been engineered to give superior performance and
many years of service.
It is important to read these instructions carefully and thoroughly. They
contain important safety information and will assist you in ensuring that
your electric fencing system gives maximum performance and reliability.
How does an electric fence work?
An electric fence system comprises an energizer and an insulated fence.
The energizer puts very short pulses of electricity onto the fence line.
These pulses have a high voltage, but are of very short duration (less
than 3/10,000ths of a second). However, a shock from an electric fence
pulse is very uncomfortable and animals quickly learn to respect electric
fences. An electric fence is not only a physical barrier, but is also a
strong psychological barrier.
What are the benefits of an electric fence?
An electric fence has many benefits over conventional fencing:
•
Requires less labour and materials to construct.
•
Flexibility to change or add paddocks when required. The use of
strip grazing techniques can allow temporary fencing to be quickly
and easily erected or removed.
•
Controls a broader range of animals.
•
Minimises damage to expensive livestock when compared with
other fencing mechanisms, for example barbed wire.
Models covered by this manual
This manual covers various energizer models:
12000i, X12i,
412i
12 J energizers. These energizers have an LCD display,
an earth monitoring feature and remote control
capabilities.
6000i, X6i, 406i
6 J energizers. These energizers have an LCD display, an
earth monitoring feature and remote control
capabilities.
6000i-EU, X6i-EU,
406i-EU
6 J energizers sold in Europe. These energizers have an
LCD display, an earth monitoring feature and remote
control capabilities. If the energizer detects a sudden
increase in the load on the fence, a warning is issued.
The energizer may increase its output power to more
effectively energise the fence.
6000, X6, 406
6 J energizers.
6000-EU, X6-EU,
406-EU
6 J energizers sold in Europe. If the energizer detects a
sudden increase in the load on the fence, a warning is
issued. The energizer may increase its output power to
more effectively energise the fence.
Note:
The energizers listed here may not be available in all markets.
Key to symbols on the energizer
Fence earth terminal. Connect the fence earth terminal to the
energizer earth system.
Fence earth monitor terminal
(12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i, 6000i-
EU, X6i, X6i-EU, 406i and 406i-EU energizers only).
Connect the
fence earth monitor terminal to a separate earth rod. See
Earth
monitoring
on page 5.
Fence half voltage terminal. For use in areas with poor earthing,
see
Bi-polar installation
on page 8 or in areas where a limit of 5 kV
fence voltage is desirable (e.g. where fire risk is present or where
there is a risk of someone touching the fence), see
Reducing the
fence voltage output
on page 9. Connect the fence half voltage
terminal to the fence.
Fence full voltage terminal. Connect the fence full voltage terminal
to the fence.
Risk of electric shock! This energizer should be opened or repaired
only by qualified personnel.
Read full instructions before use.
