Installation
Positioning the energizer
Install the energizer:
adjacent to the electric fence
preferably in the middle of the electric
fence
where it will receive the most daily sun
throughout the season
where a good earth can be obtained
away from flooding and out of reach of
animals and children (inside a protective
fence, if required)
with the solar panel facing true south in
the northern hemisphere and true north in
the southern hemisphere.
Mounting the energizer
The energizer may be placed directly onto a flat
surface or mounted directly onto a steel Y-post
or T-post using the post-mounting slot.
It can also be mounted onto a wooden post
using two galvanized flat-head nails and two
galvanized washers.
To mount onto a wooden post:
1
Thread a washer onto each nail.
2
Space the nails
75 mm (3‛) apart
(or one nail
length).
3
Hammer in the
nails, allowing
them to protrude by 10 mm (3/8‛).
4
Slide the energizer onto the nails with the
washers inside the post-mounting slot.
Connecting to an electric fence
1
Push a 1 m (3') earth rod fully into firm
soil.
2
Connect the green lead from the Fence
earth terminal
earthing system.
3
Connect the red lead from the Fence
output terminal
fence. Make sure there is a good contact.
Caution!
Make sure the connecting leads drop
downwards from the energizer to prevent water
from collecting at the terminals.
