4 STEP INSTALLATION GUIDE
Step 1. Mount the Energizer
a) For inside use only. Mount the Energizer on a wall, out of reach of children, adjacent
to a power outlet. Install where there is no risk of the Energizer incurring fire or
mechanical damage (illustration a).
b) Using the template on centre pages, drill 3 holes (A,B & C). Use a 4mm (5/32")
diameter drill for timber walls or a suitable wall plug for brick and concrete walls
(illustration b).
c) Fix the screws provided into the wall, leaving the head of the screw about 3mm
(1/8") out from the wall (illustration c).
d) Position the Energizer over the mounting screws and slide down until it is firmly in
place.
Step 2. Connect to Earth (Ground) System
Using Lead-out Cable G6270 remove 5cm (2") of plastic coating from one end of the
cable and attach to the green terminal on the Energizer. Attach the cable to the earth
system by removing 10cm (4") of insulation from the cable at each Earth Stake, then
clamp the exposed wire to each stake using an Earth Clamp G8760. Tighten the clamp.
For further instructions on the earth (ground) system see "How to install earth (ground)
system" section.
Step 3. Connect the Fence
a) Connect the Energizer's red terminal to the fence using Lead-out Cable G6270:
remove 5cm (2") of plastic coating from one end of the cable and attach to the red
terminal on the Energizer. Attach the other end of the cable to the fence using a Joint
Clamp G6030. For instructions on fence installation see "How to install the fence"
section.
Step 4. Turn the Energizer on
Plug the Energizer into a power outlet
Indicator lights give you information about the Energizer and fence.
Power Light:
The green (ENERGIZER) indicator light flashes when the Energizer is working correctly.
OK
Fence Light:
The red (FENCE) indicator light flashes with each pulse, if the voltage is over 2000 volts
(approx.) to indicate fence condition. If the fence is overloaded the indicator will either
flash intermittently or not at all.
HANDY HINT
Earthing (Grounding)
Earthing the Energizer is the key for a successful Power Fence. Poor earthing is the most
common reason for poor electric fence performance. Check the voltage on your earth
system using a Digital Volt Meter G5030. Keep adding Earth Stakes G8790 until earth
voltage is 200 volts or below.
Find a location for your earth system that is permanently damp, has high fertility or salinity
and is away from dairy sheds. Install the earth system at least 10m (33ft) from any power
supply earth peg, underground telephone or power cable. The best construction is 2m
(6 1/2ft) long galvanised stakes G8790 or Super Earth Kits G8800, 3m (10ft) apart, connected
to the Energizer by high quality Lead-out cable G6270. Do not use materials that rust. (Use
G6272 if the earth system is over 100m (300ft) from the Energizer).
