Installation with a 12V rechargeable battery:
Connect the 12V rechargeable battery (red + / black -), ensure clean pole
terminals and correct polarity. The device will not start if the polarity is re-
versed.
CAUTION!
O nly use rechargeable 12 V batteries; only charge rechargeable
batteries with ventilation in well-ventilated rooms. Disconnect the
rechargeable battery from the energizer during the charging process.
The rechargeable battery should be recharged before and after every
use as well as during longer periods of storage (every 2 months) and
disconnected from the energizer.
The energizer has an AUTO-ON function which ensures that as soon
as power is connected the energizer starts to operate.
3. Commissioning
Switch on the energizer with the push button
for longer than 2 seconds to switch on/off. An LED test 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 trans-
mits pulses to the fence and the LED display lights up.
If none of the LEDs light up (not even the status LED
rechargeable battery is depleted or the energizer.
Checking the earthing:
Provoke a short-circuit by driving a metal rod into the ground against the
pasture fence wire (not plastic) about 50 m away from the pasture fencer.
The pasture fencer should now result in the lighting up of only a maximum 1
LED (moist ground) or of a maximum 2 LEDs (dry ground) (Fig. 5 LED 9 and
8). If this is not the case, then raise the number and / or length of the earth-
ing posts.
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.

It may be the case that in winter (except for southern Europe) there are not
enough hours of sunshine to fully charge the rechargeable battery.
3. Regularly remove any deposits and dirt from the solar panel
This includes removing cut grass, dust (specifically along gravel paths),
leaves and snow, since these can reduce the performance of the module for
recharging the rechargeable battery.
Only check the rechargeable battery indicator in solar operation at dawn
(without sunlight).
WARNING:
Do not leave the switched off pasture fencer in the sun with a re-
chargeable battery and a solar panel for a longer period. Why?
This could damage the rechargeable battery.
4. Energizer Operating Description
Solar operation:
The solar panel produces electricity as soon as it is exposed to usable sunlight. The pasture fencer constantly requires elec-
tricity - by day as well as by night. The electricity generated in this way by the panel is stored in a rechargeable 12V battery,
which means the energizer can operate without sunlight or can be supplied directly by a.
6V battery. The solar panel may not always have a sufficiently large output
