Installation of ELEPHANT Energizer
Before you start the installation of the
controller it is important that the instruc-
tions are studied carefully. A correct
installation is essential if you want an
optimal functionality of your Energizer.
Installation of the battery
Check that the ON/OFF button is turned off.
Force the handle of the fencer towards the
clips. In this position the top section can be
removed.
Connect red battery wire to "+"
Connect black battery wire to "-"
On P3 and P6 you can those between two
outputs
"+MAX"=High output and lower battery
lifetime
"+MIN"=Lower output and hign battery
lifetime
Installation of the earth peg
Assemble the 2-part earth peg and the
black wire. Press the earth peg into the
ground. Place the Energizer above. Con-
nect the black wire to the earth clips on the
energizer.
Fencing Wire Connection
Connect the red wire between the fence
clips on the energizer and the fence wire.
Check the Earth Connection
When you have finalized the connection
to the fence, a test of the installation is
recommended. As shown in the diagram
you can make a good temporary connec-
tion from the fence to earth approx. 100
m from the Energizer.
Connect the Energizer, touch the wire -
running from the earth clip on the energi-
zer to the earth rod - and note if a shock
appears.
If so, the earth connection is not adequa-
te and you must add an extra earth rod.
Continue this operation until the wire from
the earth clip on the energizer to the earth
rod does not give any shocks.
Remember to remove the temporary earth
connection when the testing is finished.
DIY testing of your electric fence
Detach the earth connection and the wire
to the fence from the terminals. Hold a
screwdriver on one terminal at a distance
of 2-4 mm from the other terminal. If the
electric fence is working as normal, a spark
will jump between the two terminals.
If you are in any doubt that you have a
sound enclosure, walk along the fence with
an old transistor radio. When you pass a
poor insulator, poor leakage to ground or
other poor conditions, radio distortion will
occur. The closer you come to the site, the
more distortion you will hear on the radio.
Possible faults
Poor earth connection
See how to create a perfect earth connec-
tion under "Checking the fence".
Poor wire joints
Poor insulators, especially on iron poles.
Spark flashover on a fence pole can often
be heard clearly.
If the connection to earth, wire joints and
insulators is in working order, you can as-
sume that the fence is generating an even
current all around the enclosure.
Guarantee
If your electric fence is not working pro-
perly, you must dismantle it and return
it to where you bought it. Remember to
bring your receipt. Electric fences that are
less than 3 years old are repaired free of
charge, on the condition that the damage
has not been caused by unauthorised in-
tervention or by the device having been
connected to an incorrect voltage. The
guarantee does not cover misuse, neglect
or lightening damage. There is no guaran-
tee or compensation for indirect damage.
