Energiser will then
attempt to clear the
fault by restarting.
If the fault persists,
this cycle will
repeat.
Battery preservation
When the energiser is connected to a 12 V battery, the
battery preservation feature extends the operating
period between battery charges.
When the battery capacity falls below 11.8 V, the ener-
giser will pulse speed will drop to 3 seconds between
pulses. In order to prevent deep discharge and thus
irreversible damage to the battery, the energiser will
switch off when the battery voltage falls below 11.2 V.
Action
Check that all the connections with the fence and earth rod are
firm and secure. If necessary, clean away any corrosion.
Check that the earth rod is pushed firmly into firm ground.
Check for faults in the fence-line caused by trees or vegetation.
If necessary, remove obstructions and mend the fence.
Check that the energiser rating is adequate for the length of the
fence. If necessary, reduce the length of the fence or reduce the
number of fence wires. Alternatively, divide the fence-line into
smaller zones, with each zone powered by a separate energiser.
The energiser must be returned to an authorised service agent
for repair.
Battery
Selecting a battery
The P 15 and P 50 energisers can be operated using
a 9 V or 12 V battery. A 9 V battery can be installed
inside the battery compartment and
a 12 V battery can be connected externally.
Estimated minimum battery life
Select a suitable battery for the energiser using the
information in the table below.
