Led Display; Battery Selection And Management - stafix Cyclic Wave B6 Mode D'emploi

LED display

You can use the LED display to read voltage at the output terminals of the energiser.
Reading voltage
When the energiser pulses, each of the first nine segments on the LED display represents an increment of
approximately 1 kV (1000 V) of output voltage. For example, if the first four segments are illuminated at each
pulse, the output voltage is approximately 4 kV (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.
The tenth segment of the LED display illuminates when the energiser is delivering full power.

Battery Selection and Management

This section refers exclusively to re-chargeable, lead-acid batteries, for example car, tractor, truck, marine or
specialist deep-cycle batteries.
The battery you select will depend on whether your installation is a battery-only, battery maintained or a solar
installation. For all three types of installation, the position of the energiser Selector switch will determine the size of
battery required. Refer to Operation on page 3 for an explanation of the function of the Selector switch.
Battery selection for a battery-only installation
As a guide, the amp hour (Ah) rating of the 12 V lead-acid battery required for each model is shown below. This
table is based on a seven day operating period between battery charging. Although operating time can exceed
seven days, this is likely to cause battery damage and will necessitate frequent replacement of the battery. For best
system reliability and long term battery life, the preferred battery and charging regime is to use a deep-cycle, lead-
acid battery and to recharge it when it has discharged to 50% charge level.

Battery selection for a solar installation
The battery and solar panel must be selected carefully to suit the energiser's electrical current consumption. This
will depend on the position of the energiser Selector switch, the energiser model being used and the amount of
sunshine at the location of the installation.
As a guide, the minimum amp hour (Ah) rating of the 12 V lead-acid battery required for each model is shown
below. This table is based on average usage over seven days with no sunlight. It takes into account the variety of
solar panel and regulator types that could be used in a solar installation. For more detailed information, refer to
the "Stafix Solar Selection Guide".
