Note: If ten indicator light segments are illuminated, the output voltage may be more than 10 kV
(10,000 V). If you see only red lights at each pulse and no green lights, your fence line is very
heavily loaded, and you will need to look for faults on the fence line. See "Frequently asked
questions/Troubleshooting" on page 67.
P4600 and P6000 only:
When the energiser is operating, the large digits on the LCD
display show the output voltage at the energiser's Fence full
voltage terminal.
Note: If the large digits on the LCD display flash twice per second it
indicates that the fence
voltage is too low. There could be a serious fault on the fence. See "Frequently asked questions/
Troubleshooting" on page 67.
Alarm feature
If the energiser detects a sudden increase in the load on the fence, the warning light may flash
the pulse rate may reduce and the warning buzzer could sound for up to 10 minutes.
For example, this may occur:
• if a cutout switch is closed, connecting a heavily loaded section of the fence to the energiser
• if a branch falls on the fence
• if the fence or cable connecting energiser to it experiences a sudden short to ground
• if something becomes entangled in the fence.
50 seconds after the fence becomes heavily loaded, the energiser may increase its output power
to more effectively energise the fence.
When a warning alarm is issued, switch the energiser off, locate and remedy fault then turn the
energiser on again.
Note: If the energiser is set to
not be increased, regardless of the condition of the fence.
Earth monitoring (P4600 and P6000 only)
The quality of the earth affects the fence voltage. The earth monitoring feature allows you to
keep an eye on the earth quality to make the most of your electric fence. A low voltage on the
earth monitor indicates a good earth connection. A high voltage on the earth monitor
indicates a poor earth connection.
