energizer's power adaptor may have a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Safety
Selecting a site for the installation
Follow these guidelines when selecting a site for your installation.
Select a site where:
a good earth can be obtained
•
the energizer earth system will be at least 10 m (33') from other
•
earth systems (e.g. telephone, mains power or the earth system of
another energizer)
children and animals cannot interfere with the installation
•
Make sure the energizer is installed:
adjacent to the electric fence
•
preferably in the middle of the electric fence system
•
close to a mains/line power outlet (if using a mains/line supply to
•
power the energizer)
at least 1 m (3') away from and not directly above the battery (if
•
using a battery to power the energizer)
If your installation is outdoors, also make sure that it is:
on firm ground away from flooding
•
inside a protective fence, if required.
•
Using the power adaptor and battery leads
The energizer is supplied with a power adaptor (for connection to
mains/line power) and a set of battery leads (for connection to a
battery). Before connecting a power adaptor or battery leads, ensure
the energizer's selector switch is set to Off
To use the power adaptor:
1
Connect the power adaptor to the Power input socket on the rear
of the energizer.
2
Connect the power adaptor to a suitable mains/line power socket,
ensuring there is 25 mm (1") of clear space around the power
adaptor.
To remove the power adaptor:
1
Disconnect the power adaptor from the mains/line power.
2
Pull on the white connector to remove the power adaptor plug
from the Power input socket on the rear of the energizer.
To use the battery leads:
1
Insert the battery lead into the Power input socket on the rear of
the energizer.
2
Connect the energizer to the battery using the battery leads
supplied. Attach the red clip to the positive (+) terminal of the
battery, and the black clip to its negative (-) terminal.
Note:
If the energizer is to be used as part of a permanent outdoor
installation such as a solar installation, the battery lead clips should be
replaced by permanent battery connectors.
To remove the battery leads:
1
Remove the clips from the battery terminals.
2
Hold the battery lead by the rubber sleeve at the end of the wire.
Pull firmly to remove the connector from the Power input socket
on the rear of the energizer.
Installing the energizer indoors
