If a lower energy output is required on a separate fence (e.g. house
fence, fence adjoining roadside), connect the Fence low energy
terminal (yellow) to this fence.

Connect the battery to the solar panel.

but replace the battery lead clips with permanent battery connectors.

Operation
Select the appropriate pulse speed and output power level using the
selector switch.
When the energizer is switched on, for the first few seconds the LCD
display and the indicator lights show the firmware version and remote
control address setting (only required for advanced troubleshooting and
servicing). After this, the energizer resumes normal operation. In poor light
conditions, when the selector switch position is changed, the LCD display
illuminates for 20 seconds.

Fence voltage
The Indicator lights show the voltage at the energizer's Fence high energy
terminal. Each Indicator light segment represents an increment of
approximately 1 kV (1000 V) of output voltage. For example, if the first
eight Indicator light segments are illuminated at each pulse, the output
voltage is approximately 8 kV (8000 V).

Note:
If ten Indicator light segments are illuminated, the output voltage
may be more than 10 kV (10,000 V).
If you see only red lights at each pulse and no green lights, your fence line
is very heavily loaded, and you will need to look for faults on the fence
line. See
Frequently asked questions/Troubleshooting
When the energizer is operating, the large digits on the LCD display show
the output voltage at the energizer's Fence high energy terminal.
Note:
If the large digits on the LCD display flash 1.0 kV, this indicates that
the fence voltage is below 1000 V. There is a serious fault on the fence
line. See "How do I locate faults?" in
questions/Troubleshooting
on page 10.
Alarm feature
If the energizer detects a sudden increase in the load on the fence, the
warning light may flash (
), the pulse rate may reduce and the warning
buzzer could sound for up to 10 minutes.
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.
50 seconds after the fence becomes heavily loaded, the energizer may
increase its output power to more effectively energise the fence.
When a warning alarm is issued, switch the energizer off, locate and
remedy fault then turn the energizer on again.
Note:
If the energizer is set to (
