Output power control (63 J energizers only)
The energizer optimises the delivery of output energy to match the
fence conditions. For example, if there is a sudden heavy load on the
fence (e.g. during heavy rain, or if there are one or more short circuits
on the fence), the energizer will progressively increase the output
energy in order to maintain the fence voltage. If the load is removed,
the energizer re-adjusts the output energy accordingly.
The Remote Control Handset
The Remote Control Handset is three tools in one. It acts as a:
Remote control – Switching the energizer on or off from a remote
•
location anywhere on the electric fence system
Fault finder – Assisting in the location of faults anywhere on the
•
fence system
Volt meter – Providing instant feedback on fence performance
•
(voltage and current)
Parts of the Remote Control Handset

Using the remote control

To turn on the fence:
1 Press to switch on the remote control.
2 Insert the fence wire into the Fence wire remote slot, ensuring
that the fence wire touches the Remote contact.
3 Press to power the fence. The remote control will beep with
each pulse of the energizer.
Tip:
If the remote control doesn't work, the fence wire has probably
rusted or oxidised. Try rubbing the Remote contact against the fence
wire to break through the layer of rust or oxidation.
To turn off the fence:
1 Press to switch on the remote control.
2 Insert the fence wire into the Fence wire remote slot, ensuring
that the fence wire touches the Remote contact.
3 Press .
Warning!
- Do not touch the fence until the beeping has stopped.
- The energizer is designed to automatically reactivate following an
interruption to the input power supply. This will occur even if it
was deactivated using the remote control before the power failed.
For this reason, it is strongly recommended that if you are working
on a section of fence for an extended period, you should either
safely isolate the section with a cut-out switch, or unplug the
energizer from the power outlet.
Using the fault finder
Current flows through the path of least resistance. If the fence has a
short circuit, more current will flow. Large flows of current load the
energizer and fence causing lower voltage readings.
The fault finder is designed to direct the user to the strongest current
flow. The current will flow towards a leak much like water draining
from a bath and serves as a guide to point to the leak or fault.
If voltage has dropped on the fence system, it is necessary to identify

the cause. (See
page 8.) Possible causes of poor fence performance are short circuits or
arcing faults. Location and repair of these faults is often difficult. The
fault finding function has been developed to reduce the amount of time
spent in locating fence line faults. Regular use of the fault finder will
increase your familiarity with the fence system.
Reading the screen
For currents over 1 A (ampere), an arrow appears on the screen next to
the current reading showing the direction of the current flow. The arrow
always indicates the direction of the strongest current flow. Follow the
fence in the direction of the arrow, taking readings at regular intervals.
A large drop in the current reading indicates that you've gone past a
fault.
When you switch on the fault finder, the last current reading measured
will be briefly displayed at the top right of the screen before changing
to the fence voltage.
Finding faults
1 Start close to where the energizer lead-out wires connect to the
fence. Press to switch on the fault finder.
2 Insert the fence wire into the Fence wire voltage slot, ensuring
that the fence wire touches the Voltage probe. Note the reading
(in amperes).
3 Work down the fence line taking readings at regular intervals and
at all junction points. The previous reading is displayed briefly at
the top right of the screen for comparison.
4 At a junction, follow the branch that indicates an abnormally high
reading. A sudden reduction in current between one point and
the next will indicate the presence of a fault between these two
points.
5 Move back in the direction of the previous reading until the fault
is located.
