Installation with a 230V/110V mains adapter:
For the operation of 230V power supply only use the mains adapter
47PSU0010EU /UK /US, as specified on the intermediate plate in the device!
Connect the mains adapter with the energizer, as described in, via the mains
connection. With the mains adapter it is easy to charge a connected 12 V
rechargeable battery in parallel operation.
If the 230 V/110V supply fails, the energizer is then supplied from the re-
chargeable battery.
Installation with 230V/110V:
Insert the energizer's mains plug into the power socket.

3. Commissioning
Switch on the energizer with the push button
. Keep the button pressed
1
for longer than 2 seconds to switch on/off. An LED test (LEDs 2 - 9, from
left to right) starts after 1 second. After this test, all LEDs go out and after 1
second you will hear a rhythmic even ticking of the pulses; the energizer is in
operation. The energizer transmits pulses to the fence and the LED display
lights up.
If none of the LEDs light up (not even the status LED
), the 12 V re-
chargeable battery is depleted or the energizer or the 110-230 V mains
adapter is defective.
Optimal Solar Alignment and Setting
The correct placement of the pasture fencer and the solar panel is crucial for
the best possible operation of the energizer.
1. Position the pasture fencer so that the panel points south.
This positioning enables the panel to absorb a maximum amount of sunlight
even during the few light winter days When placing the energizer, consider
the position of the sun throughout the day and avoid a location which could
cover the energizer with shade from trees, bushes or high grass.
2. Determine the correct angle of inclination for the solar panel.
The position of the sun above the horizon changes during the seasons. As
a general recommendation, an angle of 50 degrees is optimal for long-term
use in most parts of Europe. Nevertheless, the angle can be adjusted condi-
tional upon the season to optimize the output of the solar panel for recharg-
ing the rechargeable battery (see Fig. below). The steeper the angle of
inclination, the greater the cleaning effect during rain or snow.
