INSTALLATION
Choose a suitable location for the transformer. The transformer should be mounted vertically
in a clean, dry weatherproof area, or indoors, with the clamps facing downwards. It is
extremely important that the rubber insulation mat supplied with the set is located between
the transformer and the attachment surface (
see drawing 2
). Then hammer the metal earth
rod into the ground near the electric fence wire, at a maximum distance of 1.5 metres from the
transformer, until the eye of the earth rod protrudes about 5 cm above the ground. (TIP: to
ensure good operation, it is advisable to pour several litres of water over the metal earth rod
after inserting it in the ground. This will improve the conductivity considerably.When doing
this, make sure that the earth rod is not yet connected to the transformer).
Determine the position where you want to place the black plastic fence posts. Place one of the
plastic fence posts at a maximum distance of 1.5 metres from the transformer. Do not place
the plastic fence posts more than 5 metres away from each other. The fence posts should be
positioned so that the top of each fence post is pointing towards the middle of the pond (
see
drawing 4
). As soon as the fence posts are in position you can attach the electric fence wire.
First, attach the electric fence wire to the upper clamps on the fence posts.When this has been
done, wrap the electric fence wire once around the last clamp and then run the wire to the
lower clamp (
see drawing 3
). Here you again wrap the wire around the clamp and then run it
along the lower clamps of the fence posts. Never cut the wire into two pieces! If a length of
wire is left over after completing the installation, cut the excess length off and tie the ends in a
knot (
see drawing 3
). Make sure that the wire is not in contact with plants, shrubs, etc. or the
ground at any point.
First, attach the green wire to the eye of the metal earth rod with the nut and bolt (
see
drawing 1B
). Unlike the red wire, this green wire may run over the ground and can be
shortened if required. Then the red wire is run to the black electric fence wire and attached
with a red wire connector (
see drawing 1D
) to the electric fence wire. This red wire must run,
loosely tensioned and approximately 20 cm above ground level, from the transformer to the
electric fence wire and may also be shortened. Lastly, connect the green wire to the black
clamp ( ) and the red wire to the red clamp ( ) of the transformer
Your Pond Defence system will start to operate as soon as you insert the plug into the socket
outlet!
Special note!
If you intend installing the Pond Defence system in an area adjacent to a public
highway, you are obliged to comply with specific warning regulations. These regulations differ
between countries. Should they be applicable in your country, we recommend that you make
enquiries with the regulatory authorities regarding the regulations that you must comply with.
Make sure that no other electric fence wire is installed in the immediate vicinity of your Pond
Defence system. Two electric fences in close proximity may cause mutual interference.
