Setting up for earth monitoring
The earth monitoring feature works by comparing the voltage of the
energizer's earth system with that of a separate earth rod. Ensure the
separate earth rod is at least 10 m (33') away from any other earth system
including the energizer's main earth system. Locate the earth rod in the
opposite direction to the lead out wire. Drive one 2 m (6'6") earth rod into
the ground. Use high-voltage, insulated cable and an earth clamp to
connect the earth rod and the energizer's Fence earth monitor terminal.
Make sure the insulation is stripped back to ensure good contact between
the wire and the earth rod.
Testing the battery voltage
The energizer's Battery Test setting can be used to monitor the battery voltage.
When the selector switch is set to Battery Test , the Indicator lights show the input supply voltage. This can be useful in order to monitor the battery charge
level.
Note:
When the selector switch is set to Battery Test , the energizer pulses at slow speed and the fence is live.

Notes:
-
In extreme temperatures, these guidelines may not apply.
-
The battery test results will display for 30 seconds after the selector switch is set to Battery Test
When the selector switch is set to Battery Test , the LCD display also displays the input supply voltage.
When the voltage is outside the normal range (below 11.8 V or above 17 V), the battery symbol flashes.
During normal operation, when the selector switch is set to
Recharge the battery immediately.

Monitoring the earth
If the first Indicator light is illuminated permanently, this indicates that the
earth voltage is over 0.8 kV and that better earthing may be beneficial.
Either add more earth rods or find a better location for the energizer earth
system. The small digits on the LCD display show the voltage going to the
earth system when the selector switch is set to
The earth voltage should remain below 0.8 kV at all times. If the earth
monitor voltage numbers flash 3.0 kV, this indicates the earth voltage is
above 3.0 kV. See
information about installing an earth system effectively.
Battery-only installation
Abnormal conditions, check battery and connections.
Full battery charge voltage (80-100%):

No action required.
Medium battery charge voltage (50-80%):

No action required.
Low battery charge voltage (20-50%):

Monitor battery voltage.

Recharge the battery to avoid long-term damage to the battery.
Bad battery charge voltage (10-20%):

Recharge the battery immediately.

Energizer will automatically revert to Slow Speed and Low Output Power in
order to preserve the remaining power and energy in the battery.
Very bad battery charge voltage:

Recharge the battery immediately

The energizer will not function in order to preserve the battery.
