Operation - patura P5500 Mode D'emploi

• Connect the earth terminal (green) to a separate earth system that is at least 10 m (33')
away from other earth systems.
• Connect either the low voltage (yellow) or high v oltage (red) fence output terminal to the
fence.
Energiser fence terminals
The energiser has two fence terminal options – full voltage (red) and reduced voltage (yellow).
Although the low voltage terminal produces a lower voltage than the high voltage terminal, it
delivers the same amount of energy. The yellow terminal is used in dry areas, where sparks
from a higher voltage may cause a fire, or when special fire department regulations are in force.

Operation

• Turn on the power supply.
Warning!
The energiser is designed to automatically reactivate following an interruption to the
input power supply. This will occur even if it was deactivated using the remote control before
the power failed. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that if you are working on a sec­
tion of fence for an extended period, you should either safely insolate the section with a cut­out
switch, or unplug the energiser from the power outlet.
Reading voltage
The LED display shows the voltage at the output terminals of the energiser.
When first connected to the power source, all light segments on the LED display illuminate.
They then illuminate separately from left to right and back again. This indicates that the energi­
ser is operating normally. The LED display, then, briefly displays a light sequence that identifies
the address setting of the energiser.
After three seconds, the energiser starts pulsing. From that moment on each of the first nine
light segments on the LED display represents an increment of approximately 1000 V of output
voltage. For example, if the first 4 segments are illuminated at each pulse, the output voltage is
approximately 4000 V.
If you see only red lights at each pulse and no green lights, this means that your fence line is
very heavily loaded, and you need to look for faults on the fence line.
