use the procedure described in
Installing and testing an earth system
on
page 9.
Check the fence system for faults.
The most common source of low
voltage is faults on the fence line.
If the fence, earth and energizer are in good condition and the voltage
is still below 4 kV, talk to your nearest reseller. Recent extensions to
your fence, a poor fence layout, or soil conditions may be causing
inadequate voltage.
How do I locate faults?
The recommended tool for locating faults is a Fault Finder or remote
control handset. These have a combined voltage and current meter
which allows you to rapidly locate sources of current leakage.
Alternatively, use a Digital Voltmeter. Use cut-out switches to turn off
the power to different sections of the farm. If the voltage on the fence
increases when a section of the farm is turned off, then investigate that
section for possible faults.
There are no lights flashing on the energizer
Ensure the power supply is on. Check the fence system for faults (see
above). Check the energizer (see above). If the energizer still does not
operate, it may require servicing.
The energizer does not respond to commands from the remote
control handset
See the Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting section in the
remote control handset’s user manual.
I want to disable the energizer’s remote control feature
If you have a remote control handset, see the remote control handset’s
user manual for instructions. If not, take the energizer to an authorised
service centre to have the feature disabled.
Identifying faults using the LCD display
and the indicator lights
If...
This means that...
The energizer is not pulsing
and the first red Indicator light
is flashing...
The battery connections may be faulty.
Check all battery connections. Check the
battery voltage immediately using the
battery test setting. See
Testing the
battery voltage
on page 6.
The first red Indicator light is
flashing and other indicator
lights are on...
The energizer has a fault. If the display
persists and does not return to normal,
contact your service agent for advice.
The energizer is pulsing slowly
and has a reduced output
voltage...
The battery voltage may be low and the
energizer has reverted to Slow Speed and
Low Output Power in order to preserve
the remaining power and energy in the
battery.
If...
This means that...
(6000i-EU, X6i-EU, 406i-EU,
6000-EU, X6-EU and 406-EU
energizers only)
The warning light is flashing
and a warning buzzer is
sounding…
The energizer has detected a sudden
increase in the load on the fence.
Switch the energizer off, locate and
remedy fault then turn the energizer on
again.
For example, this may occur:
•
if a cutout switch is closed,
connecting a heavily loaded section
of the fence to the energizer
•
if a branch falls on the fence
•
if the fence or cable connecting
energizer to it experiences a sudden
short to ground
•
if something becomes entangled in
the fence.
(12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i,
6000i-EU, X6i, X6i-EU, 406i
and 406i-EU energizers only)
The output voltage digits (large
digits on the LCD display) flash
1.0 kV...
The fence voltage is below 1000 V. There
is a serious fault on the fence line. See
“How do I locate faults?” in
Frequently
asked questions/Troubleshooting
on
page 11.
(12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i,
6000i-EU, X6i, X6i-EU, 406i
and 406i-EU energizers only)
The first red Indicator light is
illuminated permanently...
The earth monitor voltage is too high.
Use the earth monitoring feature to
monitor the earth. See
Earth monitoring
on page 5.
(12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i,
6000i-EU, X6i, X6i-EU, 406i
and 406i-EU energizers only)
The battery symbol on the LCD
is flashing...
The battery voltage is bad. Check the
battery voltage immediately, using the
battery test setting. See
Testing the
battery voltage
on page 6.
(12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i,
6000i-EU, X6i, X6i-EU, 406i
and 406i-EU energizers only)
The right arrow on the LCD is
flashing...
During the first 10 minutes of operation,
the energizer’s remote control feature
can be activated. During this period, the
large arrow on the LCD display flashes to
indicate this. This occurs each time the
energizer is switched on when the
energizer’s remote control feature has
not been activated This is part of normal
operation.
(12000i, X12i, 412i, 6000i,
6000i-EU, X6i, X6i-EU, 406i
and 406i-EU energizers only)
The energizer is not pulsing
and the last green Indicator
light is flashing...
The energizer has been switched off by a
remote control handset. If you think your
energizer might be being controlled by a
neighbour’s remote control handset and
you own a remote control handset
yourself, change your energizer’s address
setting (see the remote control handset’s
user manual). If you do not have a
remote control handset, take the
energizer to an authorised service centre
to have the remote control feature
disabled.
