COMMISSIONING 230 V WITH OPERATIONAL MAINS ADAPTER
(PG.35/FIG. 7 & PG.36/FIG.5):
To operate on the 230 V mains, use only the mains adapter 47PSU-
0010FEU/FUK as specified on the intermediate plate in the device! After a few
seconds you will hear a steady ticking indicating the device is in operation. The
fence voltage indicator (PG.34/FIG.2a/
electrical impulses. With the mains adapter it is easy to charge a connected 12 V
rechargeable battery in parallel operation. If the 230 V supply fails, the device is
supplied from the rechargeable battery.
Disconnect the 9 V dry battery when operating with the mains adapter. Solar
operation is not possible when operating with a mains adapter.
COMMISSIONING WITH OPTIONAL SOLAR PANEL (≤ 20 W)
(PG. 37/FIG.7 & PG. 38/FIG.8):
The device has an incorporated solar charge regulator (when the device is swit-
ched on). Guide the cable of the solar panel 5W (60812) and 10W (60812) through
the cable entry on the back of the device into the housing and connect in the
housing lid. Make sure that the polarity is correct. Operation with the solar panel
means you cannot operate it with a mains adapter.
WARNING:
Do not leave the switched off pasture fence device in the sun with a rechargeable
battery and a solar panel for a longer period. Why? Because it could damage the
rechargeable battery.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE:
The solar panel produces electricity as soon as it is exposed to usable sunlight. The pasture fence device
requires consistent electricity - by day as well as by night. The electricity generated in this way by the panel is
stored in a rechargeable 12 V battery, which means the device can operate without sunlight or can be supplied
directly by a 9 V battery. The solar panel may not always have a sufficiently large output to completely recharge
the battery - especially during the dark, grey and foggy months (e.g. October to February).
For temperatures around 0 degrees Celsius or below, we recommend using a large 9 V alkaline battery instead
of a 12 V rechargeable battery in any case.
The device is operated primarily from the solar panel. If the solar panel does not have sufficient output, the
device switches automatically to the connected 9 volt battery or to the 12 volt rechargeable battery.
OPTIMAL SOLAR ALIGNMENT AND SETTING
The correct placement of the pasture fence device and the solar panel is crucial for the best possible operation
of the device.
1. POSITION THE PASTURE FENCE DEVICE SO THAT THE PANEL POINTS SOUTH.
This position provides the panel with the maximum amount of sunlight even during the less bright winter
days. When placing the device, consider the position of the sun throughout the day and avoid a location
which could cover the device with shade from trees, bushes or high grass.
2. DETERMINE THE CORRECT ANGLE OF INCLINATION FOR THE SOLAR PANEL.
The position of the sun over the horizon changes during the year's seasons. As a general recommendation,
an angle of 50 degrees is optimal for long-term use in most parts of Europe. Still, the capability of the solar
panel to recharge the battery can be optimised by adjusting the angle, depending on the season (see figure
below). The steeper the angle of inclination, the greater the cleaning effect during rain or snow.
