Energizer storage
Store the energizer in a cool, dry place when it is
not in use.
Disconnect the battery to prevent it discharging.
If the battery is a 12 V lead acid type, the battery
must be recharged every six months OR kept on
float charge.

Definition of special terms
Energizer
– An appliance that is intended to periodically
deliver voltage impulses to a fence connected to it.
Fence
– A barrier for animals or for the purpose of
security, comprising one or more conductors such as metal
wires, rods or rails.

Electric fence
electric conductors, insulated from earth, to which electric
pulses are applied by an energizer.
Fence circuit
an energizer that are connected or are intended to be
connected, galvanically, to the output terminals.
Earth electrode
ground near an energizer and connected electrically to the
Fence earth terminal of the energizer, and that is
independent of other earthing arrangements.
Connecting lead
the energizer to the electric fence or the earth electrode.
Electric animal fence
animals within or exclude animals from a particular area.
Pulsed conductors
high voltage pulses by the energizer.

Warning!
Avoid contacting electric fence wires

especially with the head, neck or torso. Do not climb
days
over, through or under a multi-wire electric fence. Use
a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
This energizer is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the energizer by a person responsible
for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the energizer.
Electric animal fence constructions that are likely to lead
to the entanglement of animals or persons shall be
avoided.
An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two
separate energizers or from independent fence circuits of
the same energizer.
For any two separate electric animal fences, each supplied
from a separate energizer independently timed, the
distance between the wires of the two electric animal
fences shall be at least 2.5 m (8'). If this gap is to be
closed, this shall be effected by means of electrically non-
conductive material or an isolated metal barrier.
Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an
energizer.
